Is this the only pencil clip available online? I can't find them in the stores around DC, either. I need a few of these.

I use this on all my horns. Plus, it will stick to your sweater, or your beard, or the carpeted wall of the pit...

...and attract Golden Retriever fur like crazy.

I have a Manhassett Voayger and found that the wieght of some of my books (2.5" 3 ring binder) would cause the music desk to slowly move toward the floor. I drilled a hole through the upright and attached a small chain and stainless rod (old bicycle spoke) to the desk. I just shove the rod through the upright and it stays in place. The chain keeps me from losing it.

No thanks. When you lose your pencil, you have to find another pencil and another piece of velcro. I'm not smart enough to use velcro.

Those clips are rare. &^%$#@!!

Or, if you're really REALLY cheap... you can just put the pencil on the stand, and keep it in your pocket.

Yes, like that, I suppose. If we MUST have a prop involved.
