Nilton Stands are the best gig & studio stands we've found! The Nilton Studio stand weighs less than 3 1/2 pounds, and now features an elegant black, wood-grained veneer desk that is as sturdy as it is easy to write on. Desk is separate from the base, and attaches securely and easily.

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... Both the standard Nilton #1565 and Nilton Magic #1570 use the attractive and innovative base which features adjustable height collapsible legs and a lightweight, telescoping anodized aluminum shaft adjustable in two places with locking clamps. A simple 1/4 to 1/2 turning of screws at locking clamps allows for tightening clamps to ensure many years of use.

    Excellent Stand

    The stand works very well and looks much classier than a folding stand. The plastic rim around the desk started coming loose after a year or two, so I have to stick it back on again when I want he stand to look its best. Other than that its holding up well. Its a bit awkward to carry around on a bicycle, backpack, or to attach to a case because of its size. ... (See Full Review)

    Super Stand

    Ive had my Nilton stand for nearly 17 years now, and the only problem Ive ever had with it is the rubber stop on the top clamp is a little weak so I have to leave the clamps open when I store he stand. I use it both for both playing and conducting the variable angle desk is a necessary feature. Its taken a ton of abuse. The wood desk still looks good )except where I dinged it on a wall!(, and the base is nearly as sturdy as when it was new. I love this stand! ... (See Full Review)
