Easy music stand

Ron Hogan · Post by **Ron Hogan** » 9 Nov 2018 7:03 am

Many times I've had to read charts on the bandstand where there wasn't a music stand. I lay the chart on my key head and it falls of from a breeze or what ever.

I made a small and portable chart holder that clips to your front steel leg. The cap comes off so you can store the wire inside.

PVC
microphone clip
one bolt
stiff wire from a coat hanger

Great idea. I might try to make a shorter one that won't block my vision out front. I just need it to hold the set list which I usually lay on the floor or tape to a wall. (I must owe our drummer a roll of painter's tape by now)

If positioned right I can hide behind it. I was looking for the clothes pin to hold the music. I made a microphone holder by clamping a mic boom to the front leg using a drummers double clamp. Works great. I like it Ron. Simple and effective.

Tommy, just slide it down your steel leg lower.

I use one of these clamped on to my left rear leg. Itâ€™s out of sight to the audience and easily viewed as I look down the neck while playing

Inexpensive and gets the job done. Looks pretty good too. Clever idea Ron.

This music stand was offered for sale on the Forum a few years ago.

Nice. Compact and not bulky is the key.

Nothing to do with the post, but why doesn't this thread fit the page? When I shrink it down to fit the page, the writing is too small to read...

I guess that I am not the only one who hates scrolling SIDEWAYS. It is because of GlassmanÂ´s overly long URL. Everything after the Â´?Â´ is unnecessary:

will work just as well. When long URLs must be used, they should be embedded in the text and not visible to the reader. My two cents.

Hey, let's all blame Tony for having to scroll. Lynch mob, anyone?

I just keep a regular music stand in the car, but I don't often work with people who can write
