Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Fue! I was just about to order a nice expandable shakuhachi stand from meijiro-japan.com, and it looks like the kind I want to order (sort of an accordion-style, catalog #a4005) has disappeared. Does anyone have other shakustand suggestions? I need something that will handle pages and pages and pages. Meijiro does have another type of stand, but I really liked the other kind more. Alternately, if someone can point out that #A4005 still exists and I've been wandering in a fog (entirely possible), that would be cool too.

Barring this I'll just have to get those augmented reality glasses and upload pdfs of scores onto their lenses a la Mission Impossible.

If you look at the website it looks like they still have it. Did you also look on the website or only on their catalogue?

Click on 'Music Stand' on the left side.
I went to payment and it looked like they had it. It also says 'in stock'.

Here's a direct link to that stand (thanks, Kiku):

I also suggest Googling 'wide music stand' for quite a few more options. One issue to consider: getting a wider stand that is also
portable is an iffy trade-off. The Mejiro stand looks like it might cost a bit less than some of the other options I've found, even after
shipping is included. For example, here's another prospect from B&H Photo in NYC:

This stand will only work if your score is a single wide sheet. The backrest is extra wide, but the ledge that the sheet rests on is only as wide as the closed rectangular frame.

This is probably fine for a wide green book score, but it won't work if you have four or five 8.5x11 pages.

Extenders are the most useful. Especially when traveling. If I'm playing at a music school, I just pack the extenders. Look at these or goggle "music stand extenders".
