A music stand (10) is equipped with a wind protector (18) extending at least along the top edge (20) and the two lateral edges (22) of the stand plate (12). The wind protector (18) protrudes approximately 10 cm at right angles from the surface of the stand. It can be detachably fixed to the stand plate (12) and ensures that sheets of music lying on the stand plate (12) do not have to be separately clamped to protect them from being turned over or from flying away when blown by wind. <IMAGE>
