Hamilton Stands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamilton Stands Inc. is a musical instrument accessories manufacturing company based in Middletown, Ohio, and has existed since 1883.
Hamilton is most famous for their wide variety of music stands (from light, fold-up types to rugged, near-permanent ones), used by musicians and music students around the world. Other Hamilton accessories include capos for stringed instruments, and instrument stands.
Musician Bob Dylan frequently used a Hamilton capo on his guitars, and studio and concert photos reveal their distinct look. Michael Nesmith of the Monkees referenced a Hamilton stand in his song "Circle Sky", in the line "Hamilton's smiling down".
