Classic 50 music stands head off to Winter Olympics

12 Feb 2014

When Haus der Musik put out enquiries for an immediate shipment of Music Stands for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, it was Black Cat Music who ticked all the boxes.

A total of 102 Wenger Classic 50 Music Stands are on their way to the Russian city of Sochi which is currently staging the 2014 Winter Olympics. Urgently required for an orchestra, Haus der Musik placed the order with Black Cat Music confident that the Classic 50 music stands met the standards of quality they required and they could be shipped straight away.

The popular Classic 50 Music Stand is a best seller for Black Cat Music and usually available for same day shipment. The Classic 50 doesn’t compromise on quality with a design that is tough enough to handle the hardships of regular use. Thanks to a formula of advanced polymers offering inherent tensile strength they will not bend or dent like metal stands - a design that also makes it quiet and rattle-free during performances. And the scratch resistant desk surface also incorporates a unique recess for keeping pencils in place. When the performance or rehearsal is over, stands can be stacked on the easy to load Move & Store Cart for transport and convenient, compact storage.

Beloved worldwide as an educator and mentor, Sir James Galway has launched a new online learning system, First Flute, geared for flute students and music lovers of all ages. Here he is able to share his invaluable technical advice, practice methods, and secrets for success with a wide audience, for the first time.

Thanking Black Cat Music for the loan of the stands, Sir James revealed he has his own Bravo Stand at home.

The Bravo music stand is the premier heavy-duty stand for concerts and rehearsals. More than just elegant, these music stands are nearly indestructable and will look great for years! The heavy-duty design won't chip or scratch.
