Piano Desk Lamps 101

Piano desk lamps resemble nostalgic banker lamps. Much like a banker's lamp, they have a rectangular shade to create a light pool shaped like a book. Typically, they have more well-designed shades that are made from metal instead of glass. The metal shade of lamps is made strong for musicians so they can adjust the shade without worrying about breaking it. All piano desk lamps have a light switch to turn the light on and off, power cord, solid base and flexible arm to shed light on any situation.
