For several years, the music stand has played an important role for all musicians, as a reliable holder of a musical score. However, as with many other things, even the stand has undergone a lot of changes, especially with advancements in technology.
A score-holding gadget attached to a microphone stand…have you seen that yet? If not, probably you’ll see it soon.
The score-holding structure is definitely assuming a different look, and its actually better. Most of these digital stands make things easier for the musicians, such as easy page turning, provides a convenient music library and so on. You’ll need a pedal though to enjoy the hand-free page turning experience when reading from a digital score.
There are many who also prefer reading music from their laptops, so they just need a holder for the laptop. “Troubadour” is one such item that is designed to hold a tablet PC.
And that’s not the only change, most music stands nowadays are becoming much more lighter & comes with a flexible design so that they can be easily carried around.
The sale of CDs has witnessed a sharp decline and most pro musicians are also facing problems because of video sharing sites, no wonder that professional musicians are doing more and more live performances. That is why they prefer music instrument/accessories that are easy to store and transport.
When it comes to buying, be it music stand or sheet music, you don’t have to visit a store to order; you can get them online.
