compact, light and easy to carry, has a shelf on the desk, and the music doesn't slide off!

Great design. Easy to use and sturdy. On my 2nd one now. Had minor issues with it but Bob took care of it right away by sending a new base. Great customer support.read more

It takes up so much less space. It put it right into my gig bag. So far, I like it!

I despised the collapsible metal music stand that I owned. It always fell over and I’d occasionally pinch one of my fingers while setting it up. I loved the Desca stand that I used while a member of the Intergeneration Orchestra of Omaha, so I decided to purchase one! I am happy that it can hold an abundance of music books and is so sturdy and light weight.read more

I love how it packs down super small, is sturdy yet lightweight, and has a tray for capos, metronomes, pencils, etc. below the wide stand. So much better than my prior travel stand!read more

I play in a german oompa band and one of our clarinetist had a Desca Stand. I Liked it and asked for one for Christmas. I love it! It is so much more convenient than the ungainly stands I dragged around all my life. It’s fold up design is a marvel to behold. And it is as sturdy as a full sized stand. Five Stars!read more

Very clever music stand! Folds up nicely with its own handle but is sturdy enough for my heavy binder when opened. I bought after a recommendation from a fellow orchestra member.read more

These stands are awesome. So much better than filling my car with huge stands. They may take a little more time to set up but it's totally worth it.read more

So much easier than my previous stand to set up and the "desk" holds my psaltery bow, rosin and extra picks for my autoharp, pencils, etc. Very handy. Easy to store and transport.read more

We love it. My boys both have one that we take with us from Texas to New Jersey in the summer! My guys play in a summer band comprised of retired music teachers! We heard about Desca from one of these folks and couldn't be happier! Great job!read more

Intuitive, space-saving, sturdy and a relief for anyone already lugging heavy equipment. Great stuff! Now can they make a fold-up piano?! :)read more

I play in a big band and wanted a music stand that was easier to transport than my regular stand, but was concerned that I would not find one that was also sturdy enough to hold my 2 inch binder of music. The Desca Presto is it! I have had it only a few weeks, but have used it on two gigs, and it does the job perfectly. Other players in the band are eyeing it with envy, especially when they see the easy assembly and unique engineering. They will probably be ordering soon.read more

Light and strong. I have one for myself and bought one for a friend. The folder holds the music down in the wind.
Thanks for a great stand at a really great price.read more

This is the best ever portable music stand, obviously designed by and for musicians. It all folds up into its own pencil tray (It has a pencil tray!!). Traditional stands I've used for outdoor gigs fall over easily, but the Desca stand is sturdy and extremely stable - and the carry handle makes it really convenient. Love it.read more

Okay Music Buskers, if you're tired of picking up sheet music, chord and lyric pages, and tipsy music stands when you are performing outside, this is the stand for you. Sets up in a minute, lightweight but sturdy, large platform, handy shelf, and folds back into a neat carry case. Easy to add a few clothespins for wind and supports large fake books, collections, and multiple pages.read more

We love our new Desca stands!. My wife plays clarinet in a local arts collaborative and had the same stand since high school. This was a very welcomed upgrade! It's really light and machined well- the pieces fit together smoothly and positively. We looked at the instructions once to set up and now it's intuitive- set up is easy and fast. It just works. I got one as well so we can play together and having never owned a music stand, I can't imagine a better or simpler portable stand. We also got 2 of the music folios and we love them as well!! Highly recommended!read more
