I bought this stand to use at various TubaChristmas events, and discovered that it is indeed very light. It’s also as sturdy as the heavier folding music stands. When I carry me ‘stuff’ for TubaChristmas, I use a Santa bag, and didn’t want something that would be too heavy and tear through the bag. Now my problem is remembering where I put it after last Christmas……

I needed a light weight stand and a bag to put it in. It fits easily in my harp bag. I have a 5′ tall harp so moving it around can be a challenge. This stand is just what I needed. Easy to unfold, fold and store in the bag, transport and use. That is about 5 stars !

Wer seinen Notenständer immer transportieren muß, kann zu diesem greifen. er ist extrem leicht und doch richtig stabil genug für große Notenmappen. Ich benutze ihn seit Jahren. Er ist nicht magnetisch, Magnethalterung an Stiften etc. nutzen hier nichts. Sehr zu empfehlen.

The measure of usefulness of a lightweight music stand is its stability and ease of set up. This stand weights only 1.3 pound (0.6 kg) so it is ultra lightweight. I have pulled the stems and the bookholder to about 4.5 ft (1.4 m) high and put a 2.5 pound (more than 1 kg) heavy music book on the stand. It is still relatively stable. Stems pulled at full length, when the music book is opened to one side, say page 1 (i.e. the weight of the book is on the right hand side), the stems and book/sheet holder tend to bend slightly toward the right side, but not bad enough to cause to tilt. In a sit down position, where only one of the three sections of the stem is used, there is no issue at all. The ledge which hold the music book is 1.25 in (3.3 cm) wide. So it can easily hold an one-inch thick music book without slipping off. This is good compared to some other lightweight stands where the ledge width is less than one inch. The spread of the legs can be adjusted depending on the space available in front of the musician. Of course, the wider the spread of the legs, it is more stable. The base of the book holder is designed in such a way that the center of gravity of the music book (sitting on the book/sheet holder) is close to the vertical rods. This is in contrast to some other brands that the base of the sheet holder sits on an adjustable joint which is away from the vertical rod, making the music stand easy to tilt over. In terms of ease of setting up, it is intuitive and requires no instruction, although a graphical instruction is printed on the box. There are total of four thumb screws to make adjustments. It remains to be seen how long (or how many times of usage) the screws will hold tight. I will come back if I find reliability problems.

The stand comes with a bag with a handle, but no shoulder straps. Since it is so light weight, I can hold the bag (with the stand in it) with my index finger on the handle. Hence it is not detrimental for lacking the shoulder strap. The bag is not made of heavy duty fabric. The legs of the music stand has rubber shoes at the end and they should not puncture the bag.

Overall, I am happy with the purchase (considering quality, functionality, and price) and would recommend to others.

Bin Berufsmusiker. Der Notenständer ist unglaublich leicht. Manchmal lasse ich meine Kollegen den Ständer kurz halten – alle erstaunt, wie leicht es ist. In allen Ländern.

articolo di marca diversa e misure diverse da quelle descritte su Amazon.
Sembra abbastanza robusto anche se molto leggero, ho dubbi sulla durata ma non lo restituisco perchè mi serve subito.
Amazon DEVE controllare meglio gli articoli che vengono inviati dai venditori, specialmente per marca e misure: in pratica evitare di dare fiducia a falsari di vario tipo:

I was desperate for a lightweight music stand after hauling around a painfully heavy steel stand for years. This one seems to be the solution. My first impression of this stand is very positive. It is attractive, lightweight (1 lb. 9.6 ounces with the bag) and seems sturdy. The legs are tipped with rubber so that it does not slide and the desk, totally adjustable, seems wide enough for a music book. The only thing missing is those wires in front which hold the music down to keep it from slipping or flipping. I am going to try attaching binder clips to the edge to see if they do the job.
