Very nice Barry. How about a step by step how to? 
Very cool indeed. Much nicer than the stuff that I have bought.

That is one dang fine music workstation, Barry!
Nice looking, efficient, multi-purpose, well laid out. I would call it a prime example of when a musician thinks on a situation and applies their experience to come up with a design and then uses some considerable care and skill to build a solution to the problem.

I love it. The pencil holder was the best. How about a rosin holder that mounts the rosin so you just take the bow and run it over without having to hold the rosin. Looks to me like you got that from a Yankee, because it is pure Yankee ingenuity.

Good one Barry,
I only have a matt black steel stand, but you have given me an idea for holding my tuner and I-Phone for when I am listening to click tracks.
They usually fall off the little ledge especially when I have a bucketload of music sheets on them too
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

Holy music stands, Batman!
That's quite an incredible stand you got there! I bet if you started making those, you could sell them for at least $200 each.
I've seen wood music stands sell for over $100. Just plain stands, not with all the fancy stuff you added to it.
Is it adjustable?

Barry, you inspired me! I've been wanting a violin rack for a couple of months; actually ever since Kevin's urging to tinker with a few. So I worked on this for about 3 weekends and finally finished yesterday!

Looks very good, Fred! I like how you used violin scrolls for decoration.
This is probably going to be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. What are the light colored circles along the front edge? Are they a decorative accent or do they serve some purpose?

Thanks Daniel.
Lol; it's "bling" Daniel; they're inset mother of pearl finger buttons. I just wanted to incorporate a few string instrument accents.

Wow, those are some seriously beautiful pieces of craftsmanship! 
I didn't factor a music stand into my violin budget, but quickly realised I needed one. So, I've built my own. It's certainly not as fancy as yours, but it does its job – and I think I get MacGyver points for the construction...
