ChromaCast Music Stand CC-MSTAND With Bag

I am very happy with this music stand. Its very small and has a case, so you can just keep it in the car and use it whenever you need to look at music/lyrics at a rehearsal. It would also be good to a kid practicing music at home, and a good low-cost everyday stand. Some reviews have mentioned its not durable to outdoor windy concerts etc. I wouldn’t use it for professional orchestra etc – its more for casual musician use. It does have the little arm thingys to keep the music from blowing away in a light wind or when a door opens in a rehearsal room. Its not heavy duty, but its low cost and super portable/lightweight and easy to set up. I bought this stand, a mic stand, a tablet holder, and a little USB LED light on amazon and I use them all about 3x a week – good musical gear at a low price 🙂 Hope this helps and have fun with your music projects!

I just did a random test with a box of the large Uno cards because I was curious, and it held up okay. Well, it took a few tweaking for it to be able to keep its balance, but then again a box of cards weigh a lot more than a few sheets of paper. It held up without any support needed in the center and I extended it to the most it was able to too. As for the set up, it comes in four pieces with a sheet of instructions on how to set it up, and it’s very easy to set up. It also comes with an okay/flimsy plastic bag with a thin strap, but it works well enough for the stand. The stand is also very easy to fold and put away so overall, it’s not a bad deal. The only issue I had with it was that it’s kind of uneven in some places and you can see it in the photos too, so hopefully it doesn’t become a bigger issue later. But other than that, it works for me!

Es un muy buen precio, las cosas que noté es que el material parece un poco frágil y se podría vencer algunas partes si le pones algún libro de partituras muy pesado. Pero es ligero, tiene buena altura y parece muy portable por lo compacto que es. Hasta ahora me ha aguantado algunas patadas y manotazos accidentales, pero mejor darle un buen cuidado por que si podría abollarse o doblarse con un golpe fuerte

I get it – it’s cheap, but it’s really flimsy and I’m guessing even at this price point, there are probably better ones out there.

This music stand is good enough for my purpose of home practice with lightweight printed material. It is rather flimsy. All metal parts could be bent with light finger-force. All knobs are cheap, and the knobs that provide pressure to keep it extended don’t feel terribly secure. But it is inexpensive and meets my needs– short of finding a better quality used / antique stand, this is probably as good as it gets for my price range.

ok let’s bear in mind this is a $25 music stand. It’s not the greatest, but it’s definitely worth $25.

I like how the top attaches to the pole. It’s simple yet strong. There is a slidey part that goes in a bracket, and if it gets bent you can just bend it back. The tilt adjustment has a little play, but it also seems strong enough.

I wouldn’t put extremely heavy weights on this. It’s not made for a music director to put a whole score on it, or a huge book of 400 big band charts. Keep it under 5 pounds of music and you’ll be ok.

This is about twice or three times as strong as one of those little wire portable stands, but about 5 times less strong than a full-size Manhassett stand, which is really not portable at all. This is a nice balance between portable and durable. And it doesn’t really cost any more than one of those flimsy wire stands. This is “good enough” and it’s light enough to carry in my equipment bag comfortably.

The little spider leg metal things that keep the sheet music from blowing away in the wind are a nice design feature.

It’s a little short. I’m pretty tall, and usually like my stands to go a little taller, but then on the other hand in nightclubs I don’t want the stand blocking peoples’ view of me, so it’s really tall enough for my purposes.

The rivets & the tensioning hardware are good enough. I’m sure if you put heavier equipment like drum hardware, lighting stands or speaker stands, or Bogen camera tripods on top of this, you can bend it up. It’s kind of lightweight metal. But as long as you keep it on top of the heavier equipment it should be durable enough.

If I had wanted a really heavy piece of equipment I would have bought a Manhassett, which would have been twice the cost and not so portable. I just wanted something easy & simple, and this fits the bill. It’s what I expected it to be, and that’s good enough, especially at this price.

Great value product! Well made and still nice and portable. Best part are the sheet music “clips” that hold down your music. I had never seen this particular design, but it’s better than anything else I’ve used before.
