You can never have too many clips in your music-making environment, whether that’s a studio, rehearsal space, or bedroom practice nook. Always keep a look-out for any type of clip, be it a clothespin, binder clip, alligator clip or one of those spring-loaded jobs meant to keep potato chip bags closed. Pin them onto edges of things that are visible and will give you easy access when you need them (music stands are good candidates).
