CAHAYA 5 In 1 Dual-use Sheet Music Stand

Opening this music stand kit was the highlight of my day. The stand is made of solid sturdy materials, is easy to put up and easy to pack away. The included accessories are thoughtful and make this kit perfect for providing all the things you need and even the things you didn’t know you needed. What really made this purchase over the top for me is the nice quality tote it comes with that makes storage and travel with this stand a breeze. The tote is even large enough to hold a couple other accessories as well as protect my sheet music. A great deal, I highly recommend this product.

El tamaño es perfecto para una Tablet de hasta 13″. Los materiales resistentes, y es muy sencillo de armar.

Easy to assemble and adjust. Nice and sturdy.

This is a very sturdy music stand. Easily adjusts to the perfect height and angle. It has spring-loaded sheet holders at the bottom. I tuck them under the bottom ledge to get the out of the way since I probably won’t use them. The attachment mechanism works really well and makes it easy to switch between the stand and the desktop “foot”. Solid product at a great price.

This review covers two CAHAYA products:

– 5 in 1 Dual Use Sheet Music Stand

– Guitar Stand Floor Universal

I bought them together, use them together, and have similar feedback on them, so am cross-posting this review for both products.

I am an amateur, non-gigging player and have no need of (and cannot afford!) professional quality stands. However, I am tired of purchasing lower-end products that are poorly-designed and poorly manufactured using inferior materials.

CAHAYA has hit the sweet spot offering decent quality stands at affordable prices.

This music stand came as part of a kit including a desktop adaptor, travel bag, music clip, and sheet music folder. Personally I have little use for the folder, but it’s a nice touch to include it. The desktop adaptor and clip work well when you need them. The bag is great and I use it whenever I need to quickly vacate the family room for visitors. It even accommodates my CAHAYA guitar stand. Everything (except the sheet music folder) breaks down quickly and goes into the bag in about a minute.

The most important piece–the music stand itself–is well-designed and well-manufactured. Most important for me is that it easily accommodates thick three-ring binders full of music. It adjusts to any height I need, whether sitting or standing.

For daily, same-location amateur use, this music stand kit is a bargain. If you expect to break it down, pack it up, throw it in a vehicle and reassemble it several times a week, you should probably go more high-end. (But if you just don’t have the budget to do so, this kit can probably survive some length of pro service as long as you don’t abuse it )

The CAHAYA Universal Floor Guitar Stand is similar to the music stand in terms of materials, reliability, and value: an absolute bargain for a single-location amateur. If you expect to set it up in different venues every week where it might get knocked over by a drummer stumbling toward his or her kit or by a drunk audience member, you should probably go more high-end. But this stand is light years better than some of the products that are just $10 cheaper.
Some people complain that it holds the guitar too high, making it too unsteady. I was a little concerned about this at first, but I use it for a relatively heavy bass, and have never had a problem. In fact, the cradle appears to be high to accommodate the adjustable tripod legs, so it was designed this way for a reason.

My only minor complaint is that you need to completely remove bolts, knobs, nuts, and washers when fully collapsing the stand. If you expect to be doing this a lot, there’s a good chance you’re going to drop and lose a piece at some point. Otherwise, this stand is a great solution for anybody on a budget that won’t be abusing their equipment.

I have a big binder full of music that I transport when I play. It is quite heavy. In the past I took my professional music stand, but it is very cumbersome to transport. I bought this because it fits nicely into the carry bag. It goes together fairly easily and it holds my heavy binder without collapsing, as long as I tighten the screws. I am very pleased with this purchase. The stand holds my music, yet looks professional, not flimsy and cheap like most collapsible stands.

This stand was easy to assemble and light weight. Comes with a case so easy to take on the go. Sturdy for outdoors if not to much wind
