Hamilton Stands

Hamilton Stands Inc. is a musical instrument accessories manufacturing company founded in 1883 and based in Middletown, Ohio. The company is currently owned by St. Louis Music.[1]

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".
