Klvied Folding Metal Violin Music Stand with Violin Hanger, Light, Black

Arrived on time, new. Easy to assemble. Excellent features are page retainers and the dual-lights to illuminate the music pages.

I was looking for a stand that is sturdier than the el cheapo metal "bottom end" folding stands. One that can support a heavy book of music like "The Daily Ukulele". This one works perfectly and comes with additional items--a large clip for holding a sheet or two on a windy day; a battery or USB two-headed LED clip light for use in dark rooms (two levels of light intensity!); plus a clamp-on violin holder.I found the violin holder unsuitable for a ukulele but I bought a clamp-on String Swing Ukulele holder for $13 from Amazon and it fits nicely even with the stand in a low position for playing seated.It took a bit of practice to get the stand assembled for the first time. The tray folds in two and is a piece of cake to fold out and lock into place. Once I figured out the orientation of the fastener clip on the back of the tray and its relationship to the top of the stand then I was on my way! I'm not sure why there's a thumb screw-knob on the back of the clip. Gravity holds the tray in place on the bottom part of the stand.I'm super satisfied with the stand, accessories, and the carrying case. The nylon used in the case seems rugged enough to last for years. It's an excellent value, I think--even with having to discard the violin holder and replace it with a ukulele holder.

Easy assembly.Sturdy enough , can hold my church hymnal.Need advise on attachment “sideway” for “multiple pages of music sheets” when no one is available to turn the pages.

The music stand and folding sheet music back were easy to assemble, feels solid enough and were light weight enough to be portable. The portable bag seems rather light weight compared to what the selling photo display showed so I do not know how it will stand up to repeated use - especially the zipper - and there isn't a strap to carry it over the shoulder. The violin hanger seems poorly designed. It works, however, it would be better to be hinged in a way to remain attached to the vertical rod so that it doesn't need to be attached each time. Repeated attachment scratched the black paint on the rod and it was annoying that the end spacer was not permanently attached to the screw. I did a simple modification by adding a small sliver of plastic between the end spacer and the screw bolt which afixed it to the bolt. To solve the issue of scratching the black vertical pipe, I cut a 3-inch section of black garden hose to act as a buffer between the vertical pipe and the violin hanger metal parts. Also, I am 6'2" tall and in full extension this stand is too short if I stand. I am using this as a polrtable stand in orchestra so I am sitting down so it is not an issue for that purpose. There should be a note to indicate that the lights require batteries and a note on whether or not the batteries can be left in position if you attach to a power source. Overall, it seems sturdy enough and it is portable - just wish that there was a better engineered violin music stand that could remain in position and be foldable to fit into the bag.

This is the nicest music stand I've ever had. It's very sturdy! I love the lights, and the violin hanger. This holds multiple books very easily. Great buy!
