Sheet Music Stand with Light Portable Violin Guitar Music Book Holder,Paper clip,Foldable Music Stand with Carrying Bag Black

After toiling over which lightweight portable music stand to buy from the selection available on Amazon w/Prime (because I needed it the next day!), I choose "Sheet Music Stand Lunies Highest 63" Portable Violin Guitar Music Book Holder with LED Light, Paper clip, Carrying Bag Black" by Lunies for $32.99.It seems like there are a few stand types sold under many names and prices. There were some that looked like this one for $5 less, but didn't include the same detailed description. I currently have a heavy duty stationary stand, a heavy duty portable stand, but needed a lighter-weight portable stand for rehearsal. Remember, we want LIGHTWEIGHT and PORTABLE, so you have to decide: how beefy is lightweight & portable supposed to be? It's not rocket science. It doesn't have to be from Tiffany's. It needs to set up easy, be sturdy enough to hold my 3-ring binder, survive being bumped, fold up easy, and go for car rides only to be used again -- many, many times!IMHO this stand will do the job -- no problem!! The "bookplate" (top part) is fairly thin -- almost flexible -- which makes this about as lightweight AND sturdy as it can be. Yes, the stand has plastic parts and is for relatively light duty. Using common sense, I'm only going to tighten the tensioners enough to do the job (i.e., not overtighten and thus possibly break stuff). The stand structure seems very stable and well done. The 'no-scratch' tightening screws are a must and work fine, as does the stand bass structure. If there is a 'weak link' on this stand it is the tightener that holds the angle of the bookplate. A heavily loaded book plate (like a full thick 3-ring binder) could cause it to slip. If that ever happened to me I'd find a way to improve it & work better, but I'm not too worried about it. If I needed a portable stand to hold a lot of material I'd use my On-Stage SM7211B Professional Grade Folding Orchestral Sheet Music Stand, which is "portable" but not necessarily lightweight. I'm a fanatic when it comes to choosing ANY equipment. I write this only to offer my take and to possibly save you $200 worth of time to make a decision on a $30 item that can vary a few dollars either way... By the way, the light is a nice touch (battery or USB - wire included) . I already own a single light, but as you can see from pics, the dual lights (w/2 brightness settings) seems perfect. Also, that clip is more sturdy than others I've used. The vinyl-like bag seems very useful to keep the parts together for transport, however, it's certainly not a road worthy piece of rock n' roll equipment. It works when juggling many items trying to make only 1 trip from the car, or when in a larger case with other equipment. So far, I'm very satisfied with my decision. If any problems arise I'll update this review.

Stand is not very stable. Set screws on telescoping parts of the stand are stripping out. Tripod base is difficult to slid up/down when opening or closing the stand, even after applying a lubricant.

All in all, a pretty good bundle. Maybe not the highest quality, but really pretty sturdy for the price, with a usable set of accessories.2 things that might be helpful to know:1--In the main picture with the listing, there is a very obvious "music clip" shown, that looks a bit like a Chip Bag clamp...I did not receive that, but the stand itself has to prongs/wands attached that can be manipulated up to hold music onto the stand.2--The Light accessory is a little quirky, but easily figured out. You do not see them in the main picture, but in some of the pictures listed further down the page, you see the two little wand-type lights that can be swiveled around, etc. What makes them quirky? These lights use EITHER batteries OR can be plugged into a USB...but if you have your USB cord inserted into the lights, and not plugged in to anything, you will not be able to use the batteries, either. You will need to be sure the cord is NOT attached to the lights in order for the batteries to kick on. Possible a good failsafe for not inadvertently using battery power? The only issue for me with that would be, as I try to keep my "devices" away from me whenever I am practicing and playing---cuz I need that downtime away from technology!, and I certainly won't have devices near me during a performance like that-- I doubt that the USP port is going to be as handy for me...but I am like an 85 year old stuck in a 45 year old body when it comes to wanting to pair down the tech stuff anyway. ;-)Generally happy with this purchase. It was a Valentine's present to go with my Christmas Ukulele!

Just what I was looking for, lightweight, easy to assemble and easy A good bargain!to take apart for carrying in the handy bag; it has clips to hold the music in place and the light attachment is handy. I was surprised how well made this is!

This is huge with a big plate it’s unsuitable for music stand may be better use as a podium, and quality is quite flimsy

Not the most sturdy stand made, but collapses and has a storage bag, so it transports nicely. First use the accessories came in handy, second use lost a rubber foot. Found and put it back on. I don’t think this will last too long, but I’ll use it till it breaks. Good concept, lightweight, better than not having one at all.

I had a desk music stand, and that was fine when I played flute and recorder. However, when I started to play the viola, it was not convenient. I couldn't see my booklet very well standing up. I didn't like sitting down because I found it harder to play. I wanted a stand that was at eye level.This is wonderful! I was able to adjust it so that I can see my music standing up. The two lights work very nicely. I love having three book holders, though I had to get used to learning how to move the two bottom ones. My viola book is 7 oz and has 47 pages. I don't know the weight limit that this stand can hold. However, I put a 1 lb 130 page book on it, and it seemed to do fine. I think a person has to make sure that all the adjustment screws are tight, and you also have to be careful how narrow you make the legs. If they are drawn up too much, they may cause the stand to topple easily. I would never use it to hold my instrument.I leave the stand assembled. I found it easy to put together. My only complaint is that the bag had a slight smell, though I think some airing out will take care of that.

As good as I want.
