[LUTE] Re: Music stands
Dear Martin, Ah yes, Jakob Lindberg has a very clever, light but complex, stand made of [I think] foam boards covered with a black cloth which takes quite a bit of setting up. He was giving a recital here in a small medieval room in Norwich and at the last minute, just as Jakob was advancing lute in hand, an elderly gentleman turned up, struggled awkwardly past the front row of feet and knocked the whole caboodle over. Music, cloth, boards everywhere. David At 08:13 +0200 20/10/18, Martin Shepherd wrote: Thanks for this Stewart.

[LUTE] Re: Music stands
Hi Martin, There are music stands that that really solves this problem by having a footprint in the form of an 'L' with its vertical support to the left so that you are never in danger of kicking it and you can move your feet (and even cross your legs!) at will. I have one made by RATstands. Its tray is sturdy but light and acoustically neutral. The only issues are price (I was lucky to find one on sale) and the fact that it is not foldaway.

Martin, For concerts I employ a stiff folder to which I've added an extra fold-out leaf - thus making it suitable for a three page spread where necessary. It has the added advantage of being easily transportable and thus quickly setting up (and taking down) with eveything in the right order .. regards, Martyn __ From: Martin Shepherd To: Lute List Sent: Saturday, 20 October 2018, 7:16 Subject: [LUTE] Re: Music stands Thanks for this Stewart.

I cant answer your question. I dont know any brands, but I wanted to mention that I have a music stand that has no base, just a short adjustable arm. It is designed to work on a table top. I have to say I really like it because it folds up into something that is very small and can easily fit in my backpack. It was about $10.

[LUTE] Re: music stands
Hi, all.
Personally, I use a Tozan-ryu style shakuhachi music stand (from one of
my other musical lives):
[1]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kikutani-music-stand-JMS-6-Extravaganza-sha
kuhachi-height-adjustment-620-JAPAN/163283784590?epid=917472217=it
em260478d38e:g:3SEAAOSw6jNbrlYs:rk:1:pf:0
It can expand to take up to five (USA) standard-size, 8.5" by 11" paper
sheets, but it's not so sturdy for books.
Best to all, and keep playing.
Chris.

[LUTE] Re: music stands
I routinely use mine to stretch out four visible pages at a time, but that does require a minor feat of balance given the narrowly linear extensions. Clipping to those extensions as possible/necessary helps, especially in outdoor and potentially windy conditions.

It's light and compact and works very well but does have some limitations. In particular, it's a bit tippy in windy conditions (I play outdoor band concerts at times) or when you put anything very heavy on it (like a large gig book). It also on the narrow side for pieces that run more than two pages. I'm thinking of the Manhasset portable stand for those occasions where the K isn't going to work so well. It's heavier and more cumbersome to tote around, but also more stable with a wider desk.

Addendum: I couldn't find a model no. on my "Hamilton Combination" stand, but it's the one with three telescoping shafts for the vertical, plus further adjustment at the legs. There are friction/tension clamps, rather than clips so that adjustments are virtually infinite for the rise and leg position.
