Cantor's Stand

Do any of you have drawings and measurements for a traditional 3-4 sided cantor's stand? Or know where I can find them. I would like to build one for our parish .... and though I have some cutting and finishing skills, I am not confident in my designing and calculating skills.

Much appreciated.

I know there are those pamphlets that have things like candles, icons, books, etc in them to purchase for a parish. I am sure they would have a cantor stand.

if you can't find one of them, why not go to a parish or monastery close by that does have one and bring your tape measure?

Thanks AM... I have looked into purchasing one but they are very expensive and I can buy the materials for a fraction of the cost of a purchased one....and my time to work on it is currently available.

I may go find one and just take measurements.

Remember the best Chanters' stand has a revolving top so that you can have up to 4 books out open for use - saves a LOT of juggling

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all that is seen and unseen. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father. Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered and was buried;
On the the third day, He rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures ; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
He will come again in glory to judge the living and dead. And His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father, with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, He has spoken through the prophets. I believe In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

If a thing ain't broke DON'T fix it !

yeah, I can imagine they would be pricey. I suggested one of those brochure thingies because they might have the measurements or some way you contact whatever is selling them to get the measurements.

it does sound like a good labor of love for your parish

Absolutely! I already have some "lazy susan" hardware in mind!

Alpha Omega Church Supplies has some measurements on the stands they sell, maybe that can help you some or maybe you can email and ask about the dimesions. When you do make it would you mind posting pictures, I would like to see it.

Thanks for that suggestion graceful! WOW, they are pricey! ....but indeed beautiful.
