Nothing can beat steel when it comes to making a music stand durable. The SMS-32 music stand uses only new steel to construct a smooth desk with no rivets, meaning nothing to get in your way if you need to write down a quick note. Making use of the quick clamp lever on the back of the stand, the desk can actually detach from the tripod making clean up quick and easy while saving space as well. Simply tuck the stand away into the included carry bag and be on your way.
