1. AIRstand: A standing (inn)ovation!
To make it as a musician in today’s world is tough.
But, beyond the struggle and the pressure to survive
in a highly competitive industry, there is now a
product that hits the high note when it comes to
giving you the musical assurance you need.
As a musician you’re constantly on the move – life is a
ritual of packing and performing - and taking care of
your musical instrument is vital to your success. Cue
AIRstand, the world’s first foldable, mobile violin stand
that holds your instrument in mid-air. Designed to give
you the freedom to pack and stack your violin or viola,
both on and off the stage, the AIRstand is a convenient
and sturdy support structure that holds your 'baby'
securely in the air.
Crafted with ergonomic excellence, the AIRstand makes
display and storage a cinch so that you can spend more
time enjoying the perks that come with being a muso
and less time worrying about the safety of your instrument.
Built to hold not one but two bows, the AIRstand comes standard with protective
foam together with two flexible arms that case the instrument – no matter its size
or shape.
The possibilities of convenience are potentially endless with this innovative work
of art, which is the brainchild of professional South African cross-instrumentalist,
Cristina Rodrigues. 'As a violinist, I know the hardships that come with lugging
your equipment across gigs,' says Cristina. 'It was a long-time vision and passion
of mine to improve the performance lifestyle of violinists and classical
instrumentalists worldwide,' explains Cristina. With her ear to the bow, Cristina
spotted a gap – to equip musicians with a storage solution that is as easy on the
eye as it is in the air. Committed to making life easier for others, Cristina’s
entrepreneurial spirit has helped ease a burden so many musicians complain
about. In short, AIRstand is
one artist’s dream come to life.

2. With a violinist’s stamp of approval, customers who purchase AIRstand are
assured of its authentically engineered features that will benefit the artist in a
number of ways. Designed by a musician, for the musician, the compact device
comes with foldable functionality for improved storage space and it can be
adjusted to any height, making it accessible at all times. Furthermore, AIRstand
accommodates various instrument widths from quarter-size violins to full-size
violas. It also comes with a compartment to hold lifestyle accessories.
Gone are the days of carrying, hanging, twisting or fiddling! The AIRstand is
affordable, attractive and 'aerodynamic' musical convenience at its best, and it
retails for just $120.
And if that tickles your strings, then you’ll love the idea of AIRscales; the sister
product to AIRstand that offers a diverse and entertaining 3-Track support
system, for scales practice. This includes: Guide Track, Backing Track and Score
with up to 18 genres of musical styles.
AIRscales complies with the examination circuit of musical institutions across the
globe, and is suited to all ages on the musical circuit. 'Students and teachers love
it,' says Cristina, 'not only because it’s practical but because it takes the grudge
out of scales practice with a fun, varietal approach.'
From Stand to Scales, stage to theatre, AIR innovation is putting back the ‘muse’
into music for aspiring and professional musicians everywhere.
