Description

Wire stands have had a long run.

Too long, probably.

Most musicians know the routine: the wobbly legs, the bent desk, the sharp edges, the slow collapse in the middle of rehearsal. At some point, you stop calling it portable and start calling it a compromise.

The Protégé 2.0 was built for the musicians who are done making that compromise.

It is our lightest and most portable stand yet — designed to move easily from lesson to rehearsal to gig, without bringing the frustration of a wire stand with it.

Built on the same solid-metal tripod foundation as our larger stands, the Protégé 2.0 pairs real stability with a newly designed foldable desk for easier carry and faster setup. At just over 4 pounds, it feels substantial where it matters and light when it is time to pack up.

The Superior Pro Clutch tripod design keeps adjustment smooth and secure, while the powder-coated metal construction gives the stand the kind of reliability musicians notice immediately. Collapsed down to 18 inches and packed into its rugged carry bag, it is compact enough for the road and strong enough for the set.

Add compatible accessories, and the desk can expand to hold 4–5 sheets of music when you need more room for the score.

The Protégé 2.0 is for musicians who want to travel light without setting up on something flimsy.

Portable, stable, and built with more backbone.

Big Performance. Small Footprint.

The Troubadour was created by a musician who was fed up with flimsy stands that break easily, tip over, or weren't portable. When he couldn’t find one stand that had everything he was looking for, he took matters into his own hands and built a stand that holds steady and packs easy.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 11 reviews.

Great stand, I would have liked the carrying case to be more rugged. I fear that the current case will not last very long with constant use.

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

It folds very easily, and it’s super sturdy!

Protégé 2.0

These stands are remarkably well constructed. Would recommend opting for UPS delivery, as the postal service is not as reliable as they once were before he who shall not be named took over.

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

Product leg portion similar to what I use, but your stand section will last longer as it is metal . The box it came in should have been taped as when I took it out of the mailbox the contents fell out . Also the carry bag should have a snap fastner because velcro isn't strong enough .

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

The music stand is very good, and collapses down to a compact size however, the case is nowhere near as sturdy as the stand and I foresee it wearing out very quickly.

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

The knobs are way too small and it is hard to get them tight enough. I hope the music holder does not collapse when I use it for my heavy notebook during rehearsals. I do like the weight and the extenders to accommodate 3 pages of music.

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

I have only had time to unpack and assemble it, but it sure seems solid AND portable, so I look forward to using it.

Protégé | Portable Sheet Music Stand

compact and solid. Love that it fits in my carrying bag without sticking out, and when opened feels rock steady. because of it's solid build, it is definitely heavier than other compact stands.
