How do you fold out a music stand?

Answer 1

A music stand has three basic parts, a base (legs), the shaft, and the tray (what the music sits against). With a folding music stand the base and the shaft are usually connected and are one piece. The legs fold up and around the shaft. To fold the legs out simply push them down and away from the shaft. They should usually click into place and be locked. The tray of a folding music stand will usually be constructed in a 6-point hinged system and fold together from the outside, up. The lip of the tray (the part that sticks out and keeps the music from falling straight down) is split into the two parts that fold up. To unfold the tray simply grasp the right and left sides of the lip with both hands and pull apart as if you were opening a book. Then attach the tray to the shaft and you are ready to play.
