Every musician knows the value of a good stand for his or her instrument. Whether you are sitting around at home practicing or on stage performing, there will come a time that you need to sit your instrument down to do something else (or play a different instrument).

Blue Ridge Music offers a stand for most any instrument, with many different features and styles. Media Corner Blue Ridge Music carries a great selection of music-related media.
