K&M 12450 Uniboy

I bought this stand as my MIDI Keyboard doesn't feature a music stand and there is no space in my small project studio to fit a traditional tripod based music stand.

I place this stand on the upper control section of the Keyboard and balance it in this small real estate using the weight of the music as a counterbalance. It does the job admirably and has solved the issue of where to put music scores.

I'd imagine it would do an even better job on a flat stable surface.

You do need to be careful when setting it up as the vertical metal leg holding the Uniboy up can slip out of it's metal slot while you fiddle with the stand without you noticing. This leads to a sudden collapse of the stand and your music. However, once it's in the slot and setup correctly the weight of the music holds it in place.

Pros
Very simple and effective design.
The price is outstanding.
Once setup properly will hold the music securely.

Cons
Will struggle with very thick books.
No colour choice.
