Folding Music Stands

Support Your Practice with a Folding Music Stand

Music happens everywhere. One day you might be practising in your living room, and the next, performing at a local venue. A folding music stand travels with you on your musical journey. This portable accessory gives you the freedom to practise anywhere you want with greater convenience. Durable and sturdy, foldable music stands keep your sheet music steady and accessible so you can easily turn pages.

Advantages of Portable Music Stands

When you're deep in concentration playing music, you can't afford distractions. Even a small thing like your sheet music sliding off a stand can break your focus and interrupt those precious moments of musical flow. Our folding music stands at Simply for Strings won't let you down—they ensure your sheets remain in a stable, easy-to-read position.

Made with aluminium tubing and tripod legs, they offer exceptional stability while remaining lightweight. They can also be adjusted in height and angle, ensuring you can find the most comfortable position for reading music without straining your neck and eyes.

However, the main advantage of a foldable music stand is its portability. It quickly transforms from a compact unit that fits in a bag to a sturdy support for your music sheets. Plus, the fold-out extensions can accommodate up to three A4 books—perfect for complex pieces or when you're comparing different editions. Each stand also comes with a carrying bag for effortless and safe transportation. The bag protects your portable music stand from scratches and damage while on the move and allows for secure storage when the stand is not in use.

How to Fold a Music Stand

Foldable music stands are simple to use and assemble. The entire folding process takes mere seconds, allowing you to assemble then pack up quickly for rehearsals or performances.

To fold your stand after use:

1. Fold in any extended bookplate wings.
2. Adjust the bookplate to its flattest position.
3. Loosen the height adjustment mechanism.
4. Lower the stand to its shortest position.
5. Loosen the base knob and collapse the legs inward.

Now, all you need to do is put your folding music stand into its carrying bag, and you're good to go.
