Part of the Topline series, the K&M 10065 Black has a traditional foldable sheet-music desk made of durable steel, known for its stability and ease of use. Adjustable up to a height of 122cm, it accommodates both seated and standing performers, making it suitable for diverse settings such as orchestras, music schools, and other performance venues. Despite its solid construction, the K&M 10065 is lightweight and compact, folding down to just 49cm for easy transport and storage. With its combination of practicality and durability, the K&M 10065 Black remains a staple for performers across all genres.
The K&M 10065 features a generously sized music desk measuring 48.5cm in width and 24cm in height, offering ample space for sheet music, notebooks, or standard A4 formats. Its 4.2cm-deep shelf accommodates thicker volumes securely, while the foldable, toothed swivel joint allows the desk to be adjusted to various angles for optimum visibility. The robust construction ensures durability and resistance to wear, maintaining a professional appearance even after years of use. For added convenience, the base features profiled feet with parquet protectors to safeguard delicate wooden flooring from scratches or damage during performances, while its discreet black finish blends seamlessly into settings ranging from orchestral pits to recording studios.
The K&M 10065 can be adjusted effortlessly between heights of 58.5cm and 122cm thanks to its two-section telescopic tubes, which with a combination of 20mm, 15mm, and 11mm diameters provide optimum stability while keeping the stand lightweight. Adjustments are made via knurled screws that lock easily without requiring excessive force. This user-friendly design caters to musicians of all heights and ages, making the K&M 10065 a popular choice not only in professional settings but also in schools and other musical venues where its durable construction and reliable performance are highly valued.
Founded in 1949, König & Meyer (K&M) initially produced music stands and measuring tools. Just two years later, the product range was expanded to include instrument stands and microphone stands, which remain the core business of the Wertheim-based manufacturer to this day. Additionally, K&M produces speaker and lighting stands, monitor stands, stools, tablet holders, and other accessories for mobile devices. To meet high-quality standards, metal and plastic components have always been predominantly manufactured in-house in Germany, with a strong emphasis on environmentally friendly production processes and sustainability.
Designed for portability and ease of use, the K&M 10065 folds down to a compact length of 49cm and weighs just 1.55kg. Setting up the stand is quick and intuitive: The music desk folds upward, and the legs extend to provide a stable 69cm base diameter. A special swivel joint allows the desk to be positioned horizontally, making it suitable for unconventional setups such as use as a conductor's stand. Optional accessories, including music clamps for securing loose sheets and a water-resistant nylon carrying case capable of transporting up to 20 stands, further enhance its practicality. These features make the K&M 10065 an excellent choice for orchestras, schools, and event organisers seeking dependable and versatile music stands.
