Why is it so expensive?

This music stand is the first of its kind, designed from the ground up to be lighter and more portable than anything on the market. The design we are launching uses premium and expensive materials, including glass-filled polycarbonate/ABS, carbon fibre legs, and a custom-designed friction hinge. Additionally, as a start-up company, we are not able to produce the stand in large volumes, which pushes the cost up further. Our intention is to be able to reduce the cost as we manufacture and ship many more units.

A: Don’t let the size fool you! Wee Stand’s carbon fibre legs can bear up to 10kg (~22lbs) of weight. The media plate can support 630g (~1.39lbs) at 90 degrees and 800g (1.76lb) at 45 degrees. 

A: Made of durable glass-infused, post-consumer plastic, stainless steel, and light yet mighty carbon fibres, Wee Stand is designed to last. See our full warranty.

A: Great question! This is a product feature that we spend a lot of time testing and exploring. We ended up going with a centre leg coming towards the user for three reasons:

  1. One thing that we noticed would be difficult with two legs being in front and the centre leg going away is sitting in a chair while using it; it would lead to one’s knees bumping into the stand, while a centre leg going towards the user would allow them to straddle it more comfortably. When standing this also helps the user stand closer if they wish for the same reason.
  2. Additionally, we found that the risk of bumping into a leg and knocking it over was reduced when there is only one leg to bump, rather than two. The two legs going back also provide resistance to falling over should the centre leg be bumped.
  3. Finally, when interacting with the media plate having two legs behind allows for better stability when pressing or touching things in front of you.

A: The media plate can support a variety of types of physical sheet music – from single sheets to full books and binders. Please see the attached picture for a few of them in action!

 

A: Tablets can be placed directly on the media plate shelf or behind the swivel clips for more security.

A: The swivel clips for keeping books open on the media plate are designed to support books and folders up to ~2.5cm (1inch) thick. Assuming it measures under that, we would fully expect the fake book to work with Wee Stand. Please see attached photo of stand in use with a binder full of sheet music.

A: Wee stand is designed to be ultra-portable. Although it can accommodate the weight of a binder or a big music book, it does only support two pages across. We are currently developing a new orchestra-style stand that will have a wider media plate and other features best suited for an orchestra setting.
