FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure relates generally to holders for music equipment. Particularly and not exclusively, the subject matter of the instant disclosure relates to the construction and configuration of a music equipment holder for music stands for securely holding music equipment in order to facilitate a user in personal musical practice, or large rehearsals, or live performance, and prevent disruption of performance and damage to the music equipment.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Organizers of live music performances employ music stands for holding sheets of music or other instruments used by musicians. Typically, when it is necessary to hold music equipment such as tuners or smartphones, musicians often place the music equipment on the ledge of a music stand. Music equipment are often not secured along the ledge of the music stand, making them vulnerable to fall off and get damaged, which may also cause distraction to the performer and the audience in midst of a performance. Existing solutions also are not ergonomically provided and are inconvenient to use, thereby causing neck and back strain, and present a risk of injury. Further, due to the wiring requirements of modern-day music equipment, it may also be desirable to have provisions for arranging the wires, and for placing writing instruments in a convenient manner.

Existing solutions are also not adaptable to music stands with a plurality of designs and dimensions. For instance, wired or foldable music stands often use a plurality of foldable arms of varying shapes and sizes, on which existing solutions for holding music equipment cannot be used.

Therefore, there is a need in the art for a music equipment holder for music stands.

Typically, music stands do not have sufficient space for supporting accessories/music equipment including tuners, phones, speakers, pens, pencils, reeds, to name a few. Such music equipment is often placed on trays or racks of the music stands along with musical sheets, thereby making them vulnerable to slip or fall out from the music stands. Placing the music equipment in such positions also are not convenient for performers. A traditional music stand may make performers slouch thereby causing unnecessary body bending during a performance. Also, a proper posture is required for any musician/performer using a music stand which, if not followed, may cause discomfort and risk injury. Bad postures may in turn cause neck or back injury to the user including temporary or recurring back pain. Therefore, it is critical for any musician or a performer who likes to keep his form, to practice with proper posture.

Accordingly, in order to overcome at least the above-mentioned drawbacks associated with the existing music stands, embodiments of a holder for supporting a music equipment on a music stand are proposed. Some of the characteristics of the proposed holder include affordability, simple construction and configuration, ease of operation, reusability, portability; and protection against injuries to the user and prevention of damage to the music equipment.

The proposed embodiments of the holder address the above-mentioned deficiencies of the existing music stands by enabling users to install a singular integrated construction with a defined pathway for wires and cables in a convenient manner for supporting music equipment on music stands, for example.
