Mic Music Stand = Smaller Footprint

 What with instruments, electronics, pedals, stands and such all over the place, garage band space is at a premium. Your "footprint" is much smaller with a music stand that fastens to the mic stand.

This stand works perfectly (especially for our Dismal-Splat Books), but costs about $40 because, finding none that were wide enough for an open 8 1/2" x 11" page, 2 page spread books, two products perfectly fine for their own purpose are combined into a smashing new tool!

If you are so inclined and can afford the extra cost, purchase (@ $25) this On-Stage U-Mount Clamp-On Bookplate (almost right by itself, only supports 1 page though), and then combine it (@ $15) with an Eastar Tabletop Music Stand. 

There may be a cheaper way to extend the shelf of the bookplate or buy something with a cheaper clamp-on arm, however, you can throw out the plate and attach the light fold-up stand by: 

#1) Removing the music stand from the tabletop piece, 

#2) Use a pair of pliers to compress the 2 bracers on the bottom of the music stand that fit in the tabletop piece until the bracers are flush against each other (ensure the holes in each bracers lines up with the other bracer)

#3) Remove the Bookplate from the arm of the U-mount saving the bolt that holds the Bookplate's bracer onto the arm.

#4) Insert the bracers from the music stand into the slot where the Bookplate's bracer was (it will be a tight fit with the rubber gromets), line up all the holes and insert the bolt from the Bookplate bracer and tighten everything up. Voilà! 

Music is close enough for NO GLASSES!

*** NOTE: Make sure your mic stand is not unbalanced by too-heavy things setting on the music stand and also that any legs of your mic stand are positioned properly to counter the weighted angle of the music stand.
