Ed and Newton: for what its worth... We began to replace our broken benches w/ the jansen "stringer" 5 years ago....as funds become available....those benches have held up better than all the others.... the trouble is..the faculty seem to find them and take them to their studios.... As for music stands....when i was at hartt school of music...the stands were on long chains anchored into the cement floor....they "seemed" to stay in the rooms....but that was 14 yrs ago...! We haven't chained them here....and they do roam around! But i guess that's a problem for the administration and not the tuner/tech, huh? Rich A.
