Guitar Stand for Acoustic/Electric/Classical Guitars and Violin, Ukulele, Bass, Banjo, Mandolin -Folding, Portable & Lightweight- Fits Gibson/Fender/Taylor/Yamaha

Used for both banjo and guitar

....

The description and picture in the little instruction manual is of an earlier version of the stand. It shows how to unfold and expand the stand of which all works correctly. The silicon pads do slide but the force it takes to get them to slide really prohibits any regular use of this function so minus one star for that. I don't really think moving the silicon pads is really required for any guitar - maybe for a ukelele though. It is sturdy and holds the heavy electric guitar very steady. I will be using this stand for my bass guitar also. I still would buy another one.

Great stand

Love this stand. It can hold either my mandolin or my guitar. Light enough that I carry it in my music bag/purse. The rubber pads securely hold my guitar.

This is a long review because I looked for a long time for a eurorack case stand and only found one other reviewer. Hopefully this is helpful.I purchased this as a modular synth stand and it works perfectly! When I received it, I was a little surprised at how small it was when folded up. Initially, I didn't think it would be big enough for my case . When I extended the feet and legs, I was impressed with the versatility of size variation to support most instruments or other objects.If I could make one critique for my use case, I would want the legs to spread further apart since I have a wider eurorack case, but considering this stand is made for multiple instruments, that wouldn't make sense for supporting guitars etc.It is height adjustable, so it can support taller eurorack cases. The feet extend outward in the rear, so my case can lean back a bit and I don't have to worry about it falling backwards. The height of the stand can change the degree of the tilt of my case but only by a few inches. The rubber padding on top of the legs have grooves in them, so the case won't slide forward. The feet have a rubber base with lots of traction. They have a small footprint, so they don't take up too much room on my desk.I think this stand could also work very well for other things that aren't instruments. It could work as an easel or display or gallery. It folds up easily and works great for packing up for travel. Fits in a backpack.

What's not to like about this instrument stand? Light weight, but solid and sturdy ... folds up very compact, easy to drop in a gig bag for transport ... highly adjustable; the legs and back telescope in or out depending on the instrument's size and weight ... all contact points are instrument friendly and will not harm the finish. I bought three of these to use with smaller instruments. The ability to adjust the stand is the key to this application because each instrument requires different settings. Currently, I use them for mandolin, tenor guitar and open back banjo. I own other high quality conventional type stands but especially for mandolin and the open back banjo, none of those work. With the Nordic Essentials stand, I can adjust the back to make the perfect contact for any instrument and I can extend the back part of the legs for all the stability I need.When I was evaluating the specs for stands before purchase, this was the only stand that seemed to cover all the bases. Now that I have them in hand, I'd say that they have exceeded my expectations. The design is well thought out by folks who obviously understand musical instruments and the special needs for those which are smaller or perhaps configured differently (like open back banjo). I've seen other adjustable stands before that were either flimsy or clumsy, but the Nordic Essentials stand could not be easier to adjust and each setting is solid and sturdy. No screws to tighten. No annoying clips or need for any tools.At first, I thought these stands were a little too expensive, but now that I've seen them in action, I have no regrets. My only "problem" is I will probably want a couple more of these just to keep in a gig bag ready to go. :)In the music world, where there are many choices and various levels of quality, it's nice to find a product that really delivers.

Because the back and bottom pieces extend, this portable stand fits in my gear case and holds my dreadnought guitar in a stable position. So, it does its job. But the picture and product description claim the bottom pieces extend to the back and front. This is not true. The back piece extends but the front part that holds the guitar in place is fixed. It looks like it should extend but it does not. If this company is going to package something they should describe it accurately. There are two swivel pieces that prevent the guitar from slipping off the front and they do work. However, when folding the stand up you have to continually jiggle them back and forth to get it to fold compactly.

In slimming my rig down as much as possible, I was looking for an instrument stand that would fold down small enough to fit in a pocket in my bass gigbag. I've been looking for a while to no avail until I saw this cute little item.While not the sturdiest guitar stand on the market, it succeeds where others fail, in that this does fold up really neatly and fits in the pocket I want it to. It doesn't need to be especially sturdy, though, as one would simply place one's instrument of choice on it and walk away; not push and pull at it.Very good product and one I'd probably buy again.

its nice looking and elegant. suitable only for small guitars

Finally a decent stand that holds my acoustic in a way that doesn't make it nearly fall over every time there's a slight draft. I have 3 other A-Frame stands which are all fine for electrics. The one I previously had for my acoustic claimed to be fit for purpose and is simply not. As a result of this, my poor yammy has hit the deck already :(I've only just set this little beauty up and immediately the quality shines through. My acoustic sits on the plastic rubbery leg things, those little upward pointing knobbly bits are just right. There is some adjustment in the legs etc but if I'm honest, I just pull it all out as far as it will go in the hopes that will be the most stable. I also tried an epiphone les paul which sits in there just as nicely. The angle fairly straight, though stable and solid. I think I prefer this than too much angle, especially as a lot of places are space constrained.I did get this on a lightning deal and wouldn't really want to pay more than 25 sheets but for that price, it outclasses all my other A-frame stands and the foldaway design seems much more sensible than the others I have. You even get a little cloth baggy for it.Overall, I would say this has probably been designed by someone who actually plays as opposed to some manufacturer that has a moulding press/fabrication works and has only ever seen pictures of guitars on their stands. Good job and a very happy customer, I definitely recommend, especially if you have an A-frame and acoustic that slides about in a very unstable manner like the ashton that should really be in the bin!

Very stable ,, even with a bass guitar ! Best foldaway stand I've had

I was very pleased with this stand, I use it for my acoustic guitar. The stand is light, compact, pulls out easily, and folds away easily. Excellent product that provides really good support.
