stand. The stands are called music stands. They
hold sheet music. You could use different things
to hold the sheet music but it is easier to use a
music stand. You may or may not need a dampit

prevent cracks in your violin. Soft cloths are for
your neck because sometimes your neck will
hurt so a soft cloth will help prevent your neck
from hurting.
