This music stand is designed to be extremely durable and features a sturdy, high-impact, commercial-grade ABS plastic desktop. Its shaft and base are coated with high-quality polyester powder. The stand has a non-glare, black textured finish that resists scratches and chips. The desktop dimensions are essentially identical to the Symphony Stand (20″ wide and 12-3/4″ high, with a 2-1/4″ deep shelf). The height of this stand varies infinitely from 26″ to 48″ (shelf to floor), with a maximum overall height of 60-1/2″. It includes an easy-to-use, knobless, automatic friction-tilt neck that provides constant tension in any tilt position. It also contains a grease-free, heavy-duty chrome-plated inner shaft that provides one-handed friction grip. Secure it at any height, even with a heavy load of music. This stand also features a heavy-gauge steel welded base, which provides excellent stability and requires minimal space.
