KraftGeek Portable Music Stand

Why Such a Strong Reaction?

It all comes down to price and quality. The KraftGeek stand starts at just €86, with the full bundle available for under €150. It’s exactly what they advertise – portable, lightweight, compact, yet incredibly stable. The build quality is far beyond what you'd expect in this price range.

Even as a pianist, I always carry a music stand when traveling. I use it for scripts, practice notes, writing, and most importantly, as a stand for recording videos. The full bundle includes one of the best phone holders I’ve ever seen, designed with built-in screws and slots that allow for quick switching between portrait and landscape mode. There's also an attachable lamp for better visibility, all of which fits into a compact carrying bag that easily slides into my backpack. Absolutely brilliant!

Now, I know some will say there are cheaper and more stable music stands out there. Sure, but for just a slightly higher investment – really, just a little more – you get a stand that is light enough to carry anywhere without noticing the weight. Even school kids can take it on the go. It sets up in seconds and reaches a height of 168cm, making it more than tall enough for musicians up to 2m in height.

Pros & Cons

✅ Pros:

✔️ Affordable for its quality.

✔️ Extremely portable and lightweight.

✔️ Outstanding build quality.

✔️ Quick and easy to assemble/disassemble.

✔️ With add-ons, it becomes the perfect stand for any situation.

❌ Cons:

➖ For half the price, you can get a larger, more stable stand (if you don’t need portability).

➖ While stable, some musicians prefer a full flat panel instead of three bars for supporting sheet music.

➖ Adjusting and flipping pages can be tricky if using it outdoors.

➖ Writing on sheet music is difficult due to the lack of a solid surface.
