Konig & Meyer Folding desk steel black - 10065

It may not make you an instant virtuoso, but your performance will not be distracted by any worries about flimsier music stands giving up on you in the middle of the show.When my niece needed a music stand for her singing lessons, instead of getting a cheap one, we decided to go for quality. It is a bit heavier than cheaper ones, but that also translates into solidity. As it needs to withstand repeated and at least weekly folding and unfolding, I'd not trust a cheap one to last long.At present, it has lasted just over a year. And that is despite falling over a few times, being dropped, and someone trying to unfold it in the wrong way – at least a few times before she got how it worked.When it comes to the latter, it is actually possible – at least to try – to start unfolding it the wrong way. One has to make sure the parts making up the actual music stand bit are in the right position so that it unfolds easily. If there is resistance, one is doing it wrong.A lot of force would be needed to actually twist it so much it breaks. I'm not sure it's even possible, for it is very strongly constructed. A flimsier stand would be twisted easily and even broken if done the wrong way.Of course it would have been preferable if it wasn't possible to try opening it the wrong way at all. I guess that's the only negative I can think of when it comes to this, but I don't think it's enough to deduct a star in my rating. One simply has to learn how to do it, and once that is over and done with, it should give you a lifetime of worry-free sheet music support.

I bought this as a present for my husband who plays in a brass band and has to carry and continually put this stand up and down. It is portable enough for the task, although a stand pouch helps with this, and is sturdy enough for carol playing and bandstand jobs in windy weather. A great little stand which is sturdy, but looks good.

What I particularly liked about this product was its stoutness and stability: I have had too many experiences with folding stands which collapsed if I so much as coughed at them!! This is a definite exception and once the straightforward task of unfolding and setting up the stand was completed the item was rock steady!! I also like the clips which hold the score to the stand shelf.

Good quality, does the job and will do for years!

Says made in Germany on it. Feels sturdy and well made. Folds down nicely. Good tighteners. Looks good. Much better than a cheap one.

After a series of flimsy cheap music stands, and on the advice of a professional player, I decided to splash out and pay twice as much as usual for one of these stands (which was on sale). It's already paid its way. Robust construction and large music holder make it a must have, but it is heavy.

Chose this particular music stand as a birthday present for my husband who is a musician as he had said that this one was what he had always wanted. He was really delighted with it and the quality speaks for itself.

Glad we paid extra for a quality music stand. It stays at the set angle and looks like it will last.

Sehr robuster Notenständer! Für dicke Ordner ebenso geeignet, wie ein paar luftige Blätter

J'en avais déjà acheté un il y a plusieurs année. J'en suis très content.

Look no more and just buy this one! As a musician, you'll definitely want this one! It's perfect to bring to any rehearsal, while seated or standing or while inside or outside (sturdy on grass or with wind!). The quality is great - this stand is really durable and feels so sturdy! There's nothing more frustrating than using a cheap stand that can't keep it's height because the clasps/screws aren't tight enough; or is too flimsy to annotate your music because you're concerned the stand isn't strong enough. It's functional and also looks great! It's not shiny and instead has a matte finish.Another good thing to note is that the stand stays as one piece and is very compact. You can't dissemble it it, or lose any parts, which is great. If you try to fully extend the stand to its max height, there's a stopper in the stand that will prevent the pieces from coming apart. Compared to some of the classic inexpensive metal stands, you have to be careful when fully extending it because the pieces will actually come apart.I grew up using this stand and was SO excited to find it on Amazon! Definitely worth it to buy this stand!

Estava mirant productes similars fets a la Xina que valien menys diners, però finalment he comprat aquest König & Meyer, una marca alemanya de renom i proveïdor de moltes orquestres professionals (també fan suports per a metall i percussió, afinadors, etc). VAL MOLT LA PENA. Si vols una cosa que duri, compra aquest faristol!P.D. La funda (cal comprar-la apart) que correspon a aquest faristol és el model 10012 de K&M, val ni 7 euros.P.D. També hi ha una versió 'XL' per a aquells músics alts (més de 1,85 o 1,90, per exemple): XL 10052-000-55. Crec que és l'única marca que he vist a Amazon que fabrica accessoris per a músics pensant amb el seu confort. :)

Excelente producto muy recomendable, llego antes de tiempo y en excelentes condiciones. K & M es un producto para muchos años.
