The good folks at Konig and Meyer have got yet another great idea up their sleeve. So long as your stand is made with iron,… steel or cobalt (yes really, but I’ve yet to see one made of that material) they’ve got a great little magnetic pencil holder that will save your face from going red either from embarrassment or the effort in trying to retrieve your bag from under your chair where, somehow, its straps have become completely entangled with the legs, looking like some sort of manic, musical Gordian Knot. And you weren’t allowed to bring your sword in because of some arcane Health and Safety rule.The practical pencil with a holding magnet, sticks to all music stands and orchestra stands with magnetic surfaces. Suitable for all pencils with a diameter of 6 to 7.5 mm.
