A somewhat-different stand

By: Alan on 16 October 2019

I've owned a few all-metal music stands, but this is the first one I've bought that has some plastic (well, "polyamide", whatever that is) components. When I say "plastic", I don't mean to imply cheap-and-nasty — in fact, I'm confident it will stand up to normal wear-and-tear, even if I wouldn't recommend running over it with your band's van. The design is a little different — the top rack section folds in half for more compact carrying (in fact, that's precisely the reason I bought it), and you can either use that section folded, or open it out for a very large area on which to place your music. I like, too, the fact that there's a small ledge available below your music – useful for keeping spare picks/capos/etc. while you're playing. And although the description mentions "3 selectable heights", the model I received was infinitely adjustable anyway, so you're not limited to specific height settings. As an aside, mine came with a carry bag, which was not mentioned in the description at the time I bought — useful for toting it around. .......... In my experience, AG have a well-deserved reputation for sourcing gear that's just that little bit superior to the average similar product, and I believe they've done the same with this stand. Recommended.
