Could this be used as a piano lamp or is it too short?

I'm not 100 percent sure! It depends on the piano style and how much light you want. I think that I could use it on a typical Upright piano. There definitely would be enough light for me. So I guess that my answer would be yes. It really is a very nice light that directs the light to exactly where you want it. It is nice and bright without being glaring! Hope this helps you.

Yes I'm sure. I use mine in a desk. I have an upright piano and if I need it this lamp is just fine. The base is large enough and the lamp will not tilt

No. I would not recommend this lamp. If you try to angle the glass shade, it flops down - no matter how hard you tighten it. So, at desk level, you often have direct line of sight with the bulb - which is harsh.

I don't think it would be too short at all. It's a really pretty lamp, I like it a lot. I have it at my desk at work.

I don't think it would come over the music far enough. It provides a good amount of light, but it's pretty straight up and down. As a former piano player myself, I would prefer an actual piano lamp that I could bend down over the pages of the music more. I'm using it as a desk lamp, and it's nice for that.

The glass shade is pretty heavy and flops down. We use it on a desk and it works great for that.

This is what we bought this light for and it works great. And looks great setting on our piano.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

The light slips over and clamps to the top of the sheet music holder. I don't see why it would not work on an upright as the clamp is adjustable to fit over most holders and has nothing that would touch the the piano itself.

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

It certainly produces enough light to be used at a piano, though the bulb sticks out of the flower so if you look right at it it may hurt your eyes...I haven't played in a long time so I can't test it out, sorry.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

Not tall enough, lamp shade not big enough, to use as a reading lamp for living room.

I have found, for my purposes, the two taller units work well enough that I seldom use the short one. As the previous respondent said, you can use it for a back light if you want, or place it anywhere you think you might need extra illumination.

A qualified probably yes. The light's clip is wide and strong; the center piece of the music stand looks somewhat narrower. I'd use a piece of gaffer's tape just to keep things totally secure, especially if I was moving music and folders on and off the stand. You might be able to use the light's clip to hold some music in place!

Would be good for this. It is maybe 15 inches high and maybe 8 inches across at the widest point. It is an LED light, so it is a soft light, rather and a powerful direct bulb. Although, would be cheaper and just as useful to buy a simple flashlight.

As you can see on the picture, the base of the lamp is a clip. It doesnot open up sufficiently to securely fasten on something thicker than about 1/4". I don't know where on the piano you can finc something to clip the lamp to. However, with a bit of ingenuity, you can always find a nice piece of metal that can be fastened on to the sheet music board which would then hold the lamp.

Yes and very well. It's the reason I bought it. It works well on my old upright piano and would be fine for a spinet. Also, since I couldn't find a 60 watt bulb of the specified kind, I found 40 watt does just fine.

The lamp is approximately 18 inches. The arm can be moved to vary the height.

I would think the minimum height would be about 52"? I have mine set about like the other response. This lamp has worked well for me for needlepoint which requires a bright light. the lamp does not reflect badly on the TV like others I have used.

There is just 1 long bulb in it. The neck can flex anyway and is stiff, it makes a good music stand lite, about as brute as a 40 watt, but the dimmer switch makes it variable

The 'light' part -- i.e., the head of it with the bulb, is about 15" long. The height of the unit overall is about 45" from the ground to the point where you would bend the 'light' part or 'head' to illuminate the work surface. It is a floor lamp, with wheels in the base to move easily. It is a great product.

You could use a light bulb, but it would have to be real small not much room between lamp shade
