K&M 10065 Music Stand Black

This is a very sturdy stand! I'm very pleasantly surprised by how stable it is.

Pros:

- good sturdy construction overall;
- even when it's fully extended, it doesn't wobble when pages are turned;
- the legs have rubber endings, so it doesn't slide on the floor and it also won't leave any scratches or markings on the floor surface;
- the knobs hold up the tubes very well. tightening happens with minimal effort;

Cons:
- honestly, can't think of anything specific...
- maybe (a big maybe) if you're traveling on foot/bike/public transport, it will be a bit heavy to carry by hand but you can also get a case for it that has a handle here on Thomann.

Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who needs a trustworthy stand for a lot of gigs. This thing will not break easily, it will not fall apart, and its parts will not bend if there is stuff laying on it in, say, a longer trip.

Our concert band ordered 42 of these some years ago. When folded, we can store and very practically move them in seven "Gravity BGMS 6 SB" bags.
The stands are very stable and almost indestructible. From personal experience, the cheaper K&M 101 stand eventually dislodges from its crimped socket where the feet connect, where this 10065 stand has a screw in place to prevent that.
So far we only lost one 10065 stand when somebody stepped over the edge of the a stage level and fell on the next lower stage level. Fortunately she was uninjured and permanently bent the feet of the stand (and broke the center connector) rather than landing on the two euphoniums parked directly next to it.
Sometimes we have musicians that don't fasten the screws after folding; we did lose a few screws over time and bought some spares separately.
