I found a $20.00 sheet music stand at Guitar Center and put a few velcro strips on the panel (where you would normally place the sheet music) so that they lined-up with strips on the bottom of the Menards case. It worked really well.

There are alternatives.  A used cosmetic case--small piece of 
luggage--makes a great harp case. You can add foam, or shadow boxes, or 
short lengths of plastic pipe to hold the harps and still have room for 
mics and cables. If you look around you can get them in tweed.  A wooden 
TV tray is sturdy and holds a lot of stuff.  Total outlay is $25 or 
under.  I've moved up from the Shirt Tails lunch box that my daughter 
used in preschool because I have too many harps now.
