Guitar Stand for Acoustic/Electric/Classical Guitars and Violin, Ukulele, Bass, Banjo - Folding, Portable and Lightweight - for Concert & Travel

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.

I am a music teacher. This stand is fabulous. I love everything about it. Yes, like it states it is very very light weight but very strong and well made. I use it on a uke and it is fantastic. It will work on all the instruments listed perfectly. I put guitars all sizes and it is sturdy. It pulls arms toward the back that can give a heavy instrument more support so it will not rock or wobble. I think that the price is well worth it. Stands are usually so heavy but this one is light. Don't be deceived. Light does not mean unreliable or cheap. This one is a keeper. Maybe its space age technology but having the sturdy with the light is just a great thing.

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.

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.

The tuning pegs on my banjo would hit the hanging-type stand and make it go out of tune. So I wanted to try a non-hanging stand for my banjo and Tele. So far, it works great for the banjo, but haven't tried it with the Tele. Pretty sure it will work fine. Light, but sturdy and compact.

Very well made. Very sturdy. Holds my dreadnaught guitar very nicely. Not only reliably supports my guitar, it also creates a very nice presentation of the guitar in my living room. Also ridiculously portable. Folds into a small package that will fit pretty much any gig bag. Cost a little more than some, but as the old adage says....”You get what you pay for”.Brief follow up: Liked this stand so much I just bought another. Just purchased a new guitar. Of course I needed a good way of keeping it w/in reach. Of the five stands I have, easily the best quality materials and the engineering is really quite clever. Easy to use and very sturdy! I don't think you will be disappointed if you choose this stand.
