Deluxe Heavy Duty Folding Music Stand (10810)

Okay Mark... Seriously? A $135 Music Stand?

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. That's a lot of cash to drop on a music stand. Couldn't I find a much cheaper stand?

Well, yes. Yes I could. But you can find cheaper, lighter-weight stands pretty much everywhere. Most any music store in any small town probably has them; I've even seen them at Target. So it seemed kind of pointless to offer those here.

But have you ever tried putting a "Real Book" on one of those stands? Or the pit orchestra score for an entire musical? Yeah, that's not going to work so well. At best, the stand sways and rocks uncomfortably with every page turn - and at worst, your score is on the floor.

This stand, while folding up to an extremely compact little bundle, and weighing under 6.5 lbs., is still crazy sturdy. It has a big (19.7" x 9.5") desk, with book-holding clips, and has three extending sections for extremely flexible height adjustments - from sitting to standing, you can put the stand where you want to, from about 28.5" to 59.75". And it has a super-sturdy tripod leg arrangement. This stand ain't gonna sway.

K&M is a well-known and respected musical stand manufacturer based in Germany; this unique stand offers compact design, high durability, and a low-profile black powdercoat finish.

So yes, this stand is not cheap. But for those players who make their living playing music, who need a stand that they can count on, this is an investment. It even has an integrated nameplate (see photo to right) so you can make sure that you don't lose track of it. And how many music stands have a 5-year warranty?
