This music stand is a very handy piece of furniture in the home where music predominates. On one side stands the instructor, on the other the pupil. It is preferably made of mahogany, but other woods can be used and stained as desired.

The music boards are made from 1/8 in. stock and well tongued into each other, as shown. They are to have strips 1/2 in. thick nailed to the lower edgss to support sheet music, etc. These music boards are to be hinged to a supporting upright so that they can be moved to any angle desired. The boards are held at an angle by a small piece of wood 1/2 X 1/2 X 6 in. One end of this piece is hinged to the back of the center strip of the music board, the other end is pointed to fit in the holes made in the supporting upright.

The supporting upright is made to slide up and down in the main body frame. It is to have 1/2 in. holes bored into it, as shown, through its entire thickness, 1 in. from center to center. A key turned from wood is made to fit these holes to hold the sliding upright at whatever height desirable. This key may be fastened to the frame with a neat brass chain. All parts of the main body frame should be assembled in a workmanlike manner, so that the sliding parts will have free movement.
