Problems solved by technology

However, detachable music stands to date have been limited to use with a specific species of musical instrument, such as a guitar, or even more limited to use with a subspecies, such as acoustic guitar.
Known detachable music stands have also been limited in their ability to position the sheet music for the musician to read while playing.
Known detachable music stands have been limited to positional adjustments within a rectangular coordinate frame by independent adjustments of rigid arms slidingly operable along different orthogonal X, Y and Z coordinate axes.
Accordingly, known detachable music stands are cumbersome to operate, and positioning sheet music is inefficient and inexact.

Abstract

A novel detachable music stand that is universally positionable by operating a sheet music retention device in a spherical coordinate system, and method for positionally adjusting a sheet music retention device of the detachable music stand within the spherical coordinate frame. According to one aspect of the invention the novel detachable music stand is provided by two releasably interlockable rotationally and spherically rotatable ball-and-socket components that are formed between a substantially rigid spacing component and two part-spherical couplers. A suction cup clamp mechanism is coupled to one of the two part-spherical couplers, and a sheet music tray being coupled to a different one of the two part-spherical couplers.
