To make a long story short, I am finally going to have to break down and buy a music stand. I saw a pretty cheap one (under $10) at Musician's Friend. That seems almost too cheap to me. Any suggestions?
Also look at the Portastands, which are made locally (to me) in Stllwater, MN.

If money was no object, I would recommend a 12" iPad Pro, Air Turn foot pedal, and a Gig Easy tablet mount. I don't have the iPad Pro yet (waiting for the refresh while I still have my iPad Air 2), but this combination is pretty wonderful and backlit.
that looks like a nice compromise between solid heavy metal stands and flimsy portable lightweight onesthese things are awesome!!!

This is the stand i bought. My music is in song books, sheet music and loose leaf books, so I think this should work. Thanks for the help.The Peak stand for $35. bucks is what I ended up with over 5 years ago and the only thing that shows wear is the case it came in. So, my thumbs up for it. It can hold a telephone book and not get blown over on a windy day.
I went for the Peak stand, 34.95, looks like it should do the job. I music is in music books, sheet music and loose leaf books, so I need that solid desk. Thank you for your help.The first couple years I played I went through an average of one "cheap" music stand every three months. After 3 or 4 of these, they aren't such a bargain. What I should have bought in the first place is the one I have now: the Hercules BS100B, which I've had and abused for over 3 years and it's still going strong. I've also been impressed with the Peak stands that have a solid desk rather than bars.
