eFlip

eFlip phone holders for marching band

eFlip is Tonal Innovation's line of adjustable phone and small-tablet holders for musicians who want to use digital sheet music and rehearsal tools instead of, or alongside, a traditional paper flip folder. Every current eFlip model fits devices between 2.25 inches (57 mm) and 5 inches (127 mm) tall. The best model depends on the instrument and the available mounting point.

Which eFlip model fits my instrument?

The Original eFlip: Attaches to an existing instrument lyre, which is sold separately. It is the most flexible choice for instruments that already accept a traditional marching lyre.
eFlip Model F: Straps to the musician's forearm. It is designed for flute, piccolo, sousaphone, and players who cannot conveniently mount a holder directly to their instrument.
eFlip Model T: Clamps directly to the bell of a trumpet or tenor trombone, eliminating the need for a separate instrument lyre.
eFlip Model P: Mounts to the rim of a marching snare, tenor, or bass drum for percussion and drumline use.

Frequently asked questions

What is a phone lyre?

A phone lyre is a holder that positions a smartphone where a traditional marching-band lyre and paper flip folder would normally display music. Depending on the instrument, an eFlip can attach to an existing lyre, the instrument bell, the player's forearm, or a marching drum rim.

Can eFlip replace a traditional flip folder?

eFlip can hold a phone or small tablet for musicians using digital sheet music. The Original eFlip works with a traditional instrument lyre, while Models F, T, and P use their own forearm, bell, or drum-rim mounting methods.

Does eFlip include a phone, tablet, instrument, or traditional lyre?

No. Smart devices, instruments, and traditional instrument lyres are sold separately unless a product listing specifically states otherwise.

What size device fits eFlip?

Current eFlip models fit phones and small tablets between 2.25 inches (57 mm) and 5 inches (127 mm) tall. Measure the device with its case before ordering.

Can school and college bands order eFlip in bulk?

Yes. Band directors can email sales@tonalinnovation.com for program and bulk-pricing information.

Can eFlip be used with music and rehearsal apps?

eFlip holds a compatible phone or small tablet so musicians can use digital sheet music and other rehearsal tools available on their device. App availability and features depend on the phone or tablet and the software being used.
