Great music stand.
Music desk for my recording booth
Verified Buyer
I record in a 4x6 foot "Whisper Room". I have 3, 3/4 inch black iron pipes attached to the ceiling on 1 end, 2 for video monitors the 3rd is for this music desk clamped to a pipe in middle directly below. This frees up room directly underneath for shelves holding electronic gear. This music desk attaches to a pipe securely.

Too weak if cantilevered, but just fine if braced.

If you simply clamp this to a mic stand and rig it to extend outward as shown in the photos, you'll be disappointed. However, if you tilt the music rack about 45 degrees, poke the upper "extension" piece of a mic stand through one of the upper holes in the music rack and then lower the rack until it rests on the wider clutch that grips the upper extension of a mic stand to the lower fixed shaft... and THEN use the provided clamp to brace the bottom of the music rack to the mic stand... that setup is stable. The two-point contact of the music rack to the mic stand makes a big difference, particularly if the clamping is tight. To add robustness to the setup, tighten a 2" band clamp around the provided mic stand clamp before you tighten down the clamp's thumb screw. Otherwise, the provided flange flexes too much to get a tight grip. You'd then use a pair of adjustable pliers or vise-grips to tighten down each of the four clamping screws. Once these are tightened, there is reduced risk of the music stand shifting right or left and drooping to one side. Finally, since I use the same setup to hold my fiddle and guitar, I lined the edges of the music stand with rubber -- eliminating the risk of dinging the instruments as I remove them for use. Yes - this sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't. Probably won't take more than an hour of your time. The price for what you get is pretty reasonable, even counting the $2 band clamp you'd buy at your nearby hardware store.

Clunk Music Stand

While attempting to use the Clamp on, it was impossible to attach on mic stand at a usable /readable angle. Had to use another mic stand, minus boim, to use as a sheet music stand. Very disappointed.
