The Nilton Magic features an ingenious desk design made of impact-resistant ABS plastic with an extra accessory shelf into which the stand base fits perfectly, and weighs less than 3.5 lbs. Desk hinges allow the desk to fold in half and can then be secured with two clips for amazingly compact storage. Add the nicely padded Nilton Magic Stand Bag and you've got one incredibly lightweight, compact, and very professional looking, functional stand for the musician on the go!

"No tipping... great writing surface... easy carrying... my choice for 20 years!

What's the Best Stand For Me?

That depends on how you'll use it.

Metal folding stands are lightweight, compact and economical. Shar offers many choices of these. The LS5 Compact stand is our lowest priced stand and includes a vinyl bag too. Spend a little bit more and get a Hamilton stand in either chrome or black finish. The Gig-N-Go stand is our heaviest folding stand - greatwhen you need more stability. If what you want is a very lightweight stand, choose from the Aluminum Compact stand or the Ultra Light Aluminum stand (which has a unique locking clasp to keep the desk absolutely fixed in place).

If you want something with more stability, but still lightweight, choose a portable stand in plastic. We offer four great choices - the Peterson stand is very cool looking with a transparent blue option. The Peak stand has proven very popular and folds neatly into a 6" x 6" x 24" bag for easy transport. Nilton offers two stands - The Studio stand that has a solid desk that slips neatly into its carry bag, and the Magic stand, with a unique folding design that lets you place the legs and optional light inside the folded desk - for very compact and secure travel. The Magic has been the personal favorite or Charles Avsharian, Shar CEO, for 20 years.

For studio use or wherever you need more durability, choose a metal orchestra stand. Shar offers Hamilton and Manhasset stands in a variety of designs. The Manhasset model AC48 is the classic orchestra stand, known by generations of music students. It now comes in a variety of colors too! Hamilton has been making stands since 1883 in the USA, and offers some unique features, including a one-hand adjustment system on the Trigger model (KB1FS). The other major difference between these stands is that Hamilton desks are steel, while Manhassets' are aluminum. A steel desk weighs more, but will also be more durable and resistant to bending, and allow the use of magnets.

    Almost perfect

    I have owned this stand for at least 6+ yrs. It's a great portable stand for weight and easy setup. The tripod is also very sturdy and withstands outdoor playing (wind, uneven terrain). Great dded convenience is the storage shelf once setup (pencils glasses, even a water bottle!)The biggest drawback is that the stand cannot support average-weight gig books (3-ring binder full) without it slipping down. The telescopic poles have 2 latches. What I have done is to only pull up one of the poles (when seated). This will help reduce your stand slipping lower at 2 levels. Also, I have taken a thick rubber band and wrapped it around the pole so that there is resistance when the pole begins to slip.It will stop and maintain its height where you have placed the rubber band (you may want to mark the desired height with a permanent marker for future reference).However,it requires you sliding the rubber band back up to the main stand connector in order to 'shrink' the pole back into its storing compartment. The mini Bright light sold in all colors at Shar works well.The standard metal gig light with the metal clasp DOES NOT. The lip on the stand is too thick. Despite its weaknesses, it's well worth buying if you do alot of gigging and want to keep your load light. ... (See Full Review)
