K&M Konig & Meyer 10010.000.55 Music Stand | Large Deep Desk | Sturdy Base | Adjustable 3pc Telescopic Design | Folding Compact | Pro Grade for Musicians | German Made | Black

While in Germany a few months ago (my first trip to Europe!) I borrowed a music stand. It was cute, colorful, and sturdy too! I took note of the brand, K&M, and planned to look for one like it when I returned home. Of course Amazon had it.I had a couple of folding music stands; the Hamilton Combination is not too bad. I like that the angle of the music rack can be adjusted. The other Hamilton stand I have lacks that feature. Unfortunately, neither of these stands is very sturdy and the Combo especially tends to slide down so the music eventually ends up somewhere around knee-height.I found several models of K&M stands, but this was the only multi-colored one (which I loved)! There are cheaper folding stands, but based on the experience I've had with those, they don't come close to this in quality. This K&M stand has multiple height adjustments (with screws to tighten them so they DON'T slip) and the angle of the music rack is adjustable. One caution: there is not a very wide RANGE of adjustments for the rack. I really would like to be able to adjust the rack almost flat (parallel to the ground) but it won't quite go that far. I still like it. :)The stand is quite sturdy, capable of holding a thick book without a sign of buckling. It is heavier than some other folding music stands, but that is the price one pays for sturdiness! It is compact and easy to transport in its folded configuration.Just a couple of issues. . . I was disappointed that the stand did not have as many colors as I expected--it's in primary colors only. The one I borrowed also had green, purple, and pink. It should be noted that the music rack is not super-simple to fold and unfold. Make sure to follow the directions (pictures included) or you might damage it. It's not at all complicated or difficult to remember, it's just not entirely intuitive, which is why the instructions are included! (there was a leaflet in the box as well as diagrams on the outside of the box!)I would recommend this stand to anyone in need of a portable music stand! There are other colors including plain black if you want something less flamboyant.

The photo makes it look as if there are some purple and maybe even orange bits to this stand. I dinged it one star for not having a true rainbow. K&M makes stands in all of the colors - why not assemble ROYGBV stands?Warning: read the instructions before trying to unfold (or re-fold) it, as it's a little tricky.All of that said, this is a K&M stand, and even though it's the lightweight version, it is much more stable than the chrome-coated folding music stands of our youth. I've had a blaze orange one for years and only got this one because I wanted a rainbow stand for an upcoming conference.

Very light, but seems very strong. I had been using a Wittner stand of the same design, purchased decades ago. This K&M Ruka 37855 stand is much sturdier. The aluminum parts are thicker and more stable. The tray doesn’t wobble. The little metal wire pieces are only good if you have a book whose pages need to be propped open, otherwise they are a waste. You can remove them. You can still slide on a Manhasset accessory shelf. The lyre at the top will easily manage a clip-on light.This is especially suited when trekking around music camps/workshops.

Music stands are pretty interchangeable. But having a bright red one will keep me from leaving mine behind!

Pros: Great color choices, light weight, compact when foldedCons: Couldn't hold the weight of the music binder even when screw was tightened and holder would tilt too far back (but the stand itself didn't tilt or fall over.) Bars on the music holder bent easilyWill be buying a second portable stand for my other child and will try a slightly heavier and more solid stand in the hopes it will be able to hold the binder or an iPad.

K&M Stands 10010 Music Stand LightA well-made music stand, with great stability and good capacity for a volume of sheet music. I’ve been commuting with this stand for six months: the stand weight is reasonable and every joint and junction functions perfectly.BEFORE opening the music desk, please take the time to follow the printed instructions or, for a visual how to, see YouTube @ “Open a music stand correctly - demonstration – video” (no need to listen to the audio track). Don’t rush through it and after two or three times it will be easy to open and close. I found that the thumb screw that adjusts the angle of the music desk a bit awkward to tighten, but when it’s set it stays tight and is easy to release.  K&M Stands 10010 Music Stand Light

I just got this music stand, and so far I am delighted with it. It is a little heavier than I had hoped, a little tricky to figure out the unfolding/folding routine (I got mine at a substantial discount, used, because someone not mechanically inclined had really screwed it up and bent several pieces by folding it wrong... but it was not hard to straighten out) and I wish it had come with a bag to carry it. So for those reasons I knocked off one star, but really, I love it! I wanted a stand that wouldn’t get lost in the sea of black stands when I go to music camps, and this cute rainbow stand should do the trick. Note, it isn’t really “rainbow” - just red, yellow and blue - but that’s fine for me. For regular use at home, I have a sturdier (black) stand that will hold heavy songbooks. I am not sure how this stand would hold up if burdened with that kind of heavy load, but it will do just fine as a traveling stand. I am very happy with it!

I bought this for my daughter to use at home. I didn't want a black stand and this was the only white option at a decent price. She's been using it a few weeks and has no complaints.

Bueno y bonito.

Sehr gut verarbeitet, einfache Handhabung, geringes Gewicht. Die rote Frabe sieht einfach gut aus. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt für mich. Schnelle Lieferung.

Fait le job: pliage compact, léger et stable. En plus, la qualité et la couleur sont au rendez-vous. Ma fille est contente même si elle a du mal à serrer/desserrer seule pour que ça ne descende pas quand on pose les cahiers. Solution : on laisse la longueur en position et on rabat le reste…

Wie haltbar der Ständer ist, wird sich zeigen. Jedenfalls ist er leicht zu entfalten und in zusammengelegtem Zustand handlich.
