Abstract
Abstract A conductor's chair, podium and stand wherein a podium has a flat standing area at a relatively low level and both the chair and stand have a plurality of generally horizontally-extending legs with certain of the legs having a greater length to underlie and balance the off-center weight of the chair and stand, respectively, and with the longer legs being positionable under the podium to bring the chair and stand relatively close together and with minimal leg exposure beyond the perimeter of the podium. The chair and stand are of separable parts with interengaging sections which may be assembled in only one relation to assure stability in use.
