Description
So we offer a super-heavy duty, high-end, German-made music stand (see related items) - but it's not cheap. If you are like me, and you don't quite need a stand that could double as a zombie-killing weapon in the apocalypse, here's an option that is still tons better than those flimsy, wobbly stands of yore.
More than capable of holding your Real Book - or your Fake Book, if that's how you roll - or a big musical score, this stand has a large desk, which opens and closes easily, and rotates and tilts for easy adjustment. The stand is the "extended height" model, so it is stable when raised for standing players (I had it raised to its maximum height of about 44.5" from the bottom of the desk to the floor for the photo). But it can be lowered to a suitable height for sitting players as well.
It's nice and - despite its strength and stability - reasonably light (in its included carry bag, it's under 6 lbs) and folds compactly for easy travel. Now, "compactly" is a relative term; again, it would be considered a pretty heavy-duty stand, able to hold good sized books, folios, binders, etc. So it's not one of those little wobbly stands, and its folded size is still somewhere around 27" long and about 5"x3" when in the bag, folded up.

Medium duty folding music stand
The term “medium duty” is somewhat of a misnomer: this stand is quite robust and substantial, providing all the stability any gigging bassist needs. The stand assembles and disassembles easily and quickly and folds up into a small footprint for easy transport. The carrying bag has a shoulder strap so that your hands can be used for other equipment at load in/load out. It will easily hold your Real Book without fear of toppling over, even when fully extended (unlike my Manhasset stand that it now replaces). I am 6-feet tall and play standing up; fully extended, the table is high enough for me to read charts from while playing, even with the type of visual issues that accompany advancing age. My only complaint is that the table does not include extenders to accommodate charts more than 3 pages long.
