TEACHER'S MUSIC STAND

 

This music stand is custom made piece.  The main goal was to create a unique and original structure and shape.  We noticed that the majority of music stands are a simple single stand with a cross-legged base. On this piece we tried to bring the shape of an easel and blend it into the design for a more artistic feel. We used red and white oak, as well as walnut for this piece. For esthetic purposes, the use of hardware is intentionally minimal. The brass piano hinge and pin allow for adjustments to both the height as well as the tilt of the stand.

The client was passionate about the Alhambra (an amazing building in Spain), so we created a custom pattern based on this and had it lasered on the music desk. The client also requested that we incorporate the golden ratio in to the design as much as possible. This proportion can be found throughout the stand, from the legs, to the inlay, as well as the music desk. The piece can be disassembled for easy transportation and storage. The two legs or supports can be removed, making it easy to carry.
