It looks really nice, but short. My average music book is 12" tall and some are taller. Nothing worse than the top half of your book flopping away from you when you're playing. And very often I need to spread out many pages of music, so I don't like it when the stand isn't long enough. But if you're making a replacement then you've got existing constraints.
Can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished!
