JimF-LowBari Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) Been using my standard cheapo silver fold up music stand for practice with the corps and alone at home. Problem is I stand to play both places and even at my less than average height of 5' 6" I have to angle my horn down to see the music. (And the friggin' bifocals really add to the problem. :( ) Anyone know where to look for stands that go up higher? It's really screwing up my posture and air flow when I practice at home. And I hate to play sitting down. Thanks in advance...... Edit: Oh crap, see I forgot to put "Looking For" in the title. Sorry for anyone who thought this thread would help. (Need more coffe....)

From the product type-up it was intended to be put on the floor with the performer on a riser, or on the riser teer below/Infront of the performer. You get the idea... I could have used one at the Reading Show last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
