Does anybody else own one of these Anderson music stands? I got mine years ago when Matt Fox came through town when touring. He was a promoter of them at the time. In fact he’s on their promotional video. I made him sell it to me before he left. I still use it every day and it really is a great music stand, not mention cool looking.  |

That's cool.
DANG, it's expensive ! ! !
I just bought a portable metal stand for $25. The Anderson price I see is $500

Plain metal for me. It’s like the beautiful wood guitar stands you can get at the guitar shows. They’re gorgeous, but it’s a lot of money.

I have a music stand. Barb uses it to hold crocheting patterns.

That would probably be useless outside of the house. There are great metal stands that fold up and fit in a gig bag. I've got all I need.

What would a guitar player do with a music stand? Well, it’s the only way I can stand my music of course. |

If I get close enough to the music stand to read the music there's no room for the guitar.

I am still saving up for a Blue Chip pick since I was turned down for financing. Not taking out a mortgage for a music stand.

Watch the video, it’s quite clever. But you’re right, it’s pretty fancy for road work. I like the shape factor and appearance and funtionality. I would like them to make one out of something other than Brazilian-whatever wood. It'd be lighter and cheaper and less susceptible to damage. |

What would a guitar player do with a music stand? Use it to hold the words to a song he hasn't memorized yet. |

Now, here is a meaningful guitar-player accessory: There is one of those on a mic stand at The Clam Shack and I use it to hold my 12 oz. Scotch and water while I'm on stage. Helps to clear the throat while deciding what to play next. |

What would be the ratio of scotch to water in that 12-ouncer??? Actually, I have a standing order with the assistant manager so if I show up for the open mic she brings me one, no need to ask and occasionally she comps it. Anyway, it's just a 12oz. Pepsi glass mostly full of ice so it won't melt for awhile then mostly full of water but with just a shot of Dewars White Label thrown on top, sometimes a large shot. It's enough to get me through my set, I try to go on early usually 2nd, and really it does clear the throat pretty well. Once I've played I revert to a regular 8oz. Dewars and water. Fortunately, she's a fan. In answer to your question, about 10 or 11 to one water to Scotch. On one recent occasion it was a little heavier than that because she just emptied what was left in the open bottle. |
