Our leather music journals are designed for musicians, composers, and songwriters who want a dedicated place to capture ideas, notation, and compositions. Each journal offers a selection of sheet music page layouts — from staff-lined pages to more open formats — allowing you to choose what best fits your process. Handcrafted with full-grain leather and durable binding, these music notebooks are built to hold years of practice, writing, and creative work.


PAGE LAYOUT OPTIONS
–STAVES: Pages are filled with only sheet music staves on each page throughout the book.
–STAVES & LINES: Pages include sheet music staves on one side of the page spread, and lined pages on the other side. This could be for writing lyrics alongside your staves, or for writing notes.
–TABLATURE: Consists of a depiction of strings with finger numbers instead of note symbols placed accordingly on the designated string.
–TABLATURE & LINES: One side of the page spread consists of a depiction of strings with finger numbers instead of note symbols placed accordingly on the designated string; WITH LINED pages on the other side of the page spread.

PAPER
Pages are 80lb, Acid-Free

COVER DESIGN
This handcrafted leather journal features a leather wrap-around strap enclosure.

BINDING
Bound with traditional hand-sewn construction for durability and longevity.
***NOTE: If you want your music journal to be refillable rather than permanently bound, simply make a note in the order notes that you would like it refillable. Refillable journals are not hand-stitched; rather they come with elastic straps fixed to the spine for removal and replacement of paper booklets. Paper booklet refills are sold here at Hank Belle.

PERSONALIZATION
Personalization on this journal is done via the heat embossing method. We use an old-fashioned style of personalizing your leather, called Embossing. Heat is pressed into your journal cover, leaving a gorgeous and rustic looking imprint that is permanent.
This includes 15 characters of Embossing.
For any additional inscriptions on the journal, additional embossing or engraving is available in the Customizations tab.
The embossing method includes alpha-numeric and special characters, is imprinted in Times Roman, and characters are 6mm (1/4") tall.
Special characters available include: (. ' , # @ ? ! " $ % &; * : ; / \)

FULL-GRAIN AMERICAN LEATHER
Our leathers are USA tanned, premium full-grain cowhides chosen for their rustic yet beautiful character.
Due to the nature of the authentic leather hides, there will always be variation and uniqueness from one journal to the next.
Each hide will have some degree of "pull-up," which refers to color variation where the leather is creased or bent; which gives the rustic and distressed appearance. Pull-up creases go away with rubbing the leather with a cloth or by hand.

The quality of this item is excellent. It matched what was shown and described; looked like the picture. It went above my expectations and I’m very pleased with my purchase. If you do get it personalized, then patience is required. It’s handmade so takes longer with shipping but definitely well worth the wait. I would highly recommend this and would order again.

What a beautiful product! It was so hard finding a gift for our beloved music teacher, as we wanted both the music staff portion and regular notebook paper for writing lyrics/notes. So this was exactly what we wanted with both, lovely engraving, high quality leather. Absolutely beautiful!
