Sheet music stands are made from a wide variety of materials including steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, marble, glass, and even cardboard. The most common base material for strong and light-weight music stands today is aluminum. However, the strongest stands (that are commonly used) are made from heavy gauge steel.

The materials used in a music stand will be determined by the intended use (or artistic reasons). If a stand is meant to be easily transported, such as a folding stand, then the materials used will be of lighter weight, such as plastic or aluminum. Conversely, if the stand needs to be able to hold more weight, such as if the musician intends to read from books, then music stands containing steel or thick wood are more common.

What is the correct term for music stands?

It depends on the intended use. A stand designed to hold an instrument, such as a guitar, can technically be called a music stand. However, far more common is what is called a "sheet music stand". Just as the name implies, it is intended to hold the sheet music a musician plays from. Sheet music stands are composed of three basic parts. They are the "base", the "shaft", and the "tray", and are made from many different materials.
