A sheet music stand is a portable support designed to hold music sheets or books at a comfortable reading height for musicians. Typically adjustable in height, these stands can accommodate various seating arrangements, whether a musician is sitting or standing. They are commonly used by players of instruments like the piano, guitar, and violin. Most sheet music stands are made of lightweight materials such as metal or plastic, making them easy to transport. Some models feature a foldable design for convenient storage. They often include a tray or clip to secure the music sheets, preventing them from falling during performances or practice sessions.
