Latin Percussion LP761 Performance Percussion Tray

Let's say you're a trombone player who doubles as a percussionist. You might want to slide, pardon the pun, over to the new LP Performance Tray, seize some valve lubricant, and then grab the cowbell for a 16-bar series of quarter notes. These days everybody doubles on other instruments and plays toys. The new LP Performance Tray makes this possible-and convenient. It puts percussion and a host of accessories at arm's reach, securely mounted, and there when you need them.

The LP Performance Tray takes the place of what you used to employ-spare music stands with tops turned horizontally, folding chairs, and other makeshift flat spaces. A full 21 in. long and 8 in. deep, the Tray boasts a durable gold vein textured finish. A rubber resting surface facilitates quiet placement of hand held percussion instruments, especially important in passages. Another saving grace: the tray incorporates a raised edge lined with molded rubber and grooved to hold in place maracas, sticks, claves, Flex-A-Tones (wouldn't want one of those careening down the bandstand!) and, yes, trombone mutes and car keys.

Singers will find the tray particularly useful: They can mount the LP Performance Tray on a mic stand. If they play tambourine, they will make good use of the "swing out" tambourine holder.

If you've read this far, and you're a working musician or a bandleader, you've already recognized that the LP Performance Tray is a lifesaver. It is one of LP's many creature comforts-smartly designed, durable and musician friendly.
