Peak Music Stands SC-20 Adjustable Cello Stand - Heavy Duty & Foldable for Orchestra, Practice & Performance - Perfect for Musicians, Students & Professionals

Was apprehensive since this was one of the cheaper models but I bought it because all the others were too big. Other models the legs stick way out. This one the tripod style legs were more compact. I also liked the black color. When it arrived it was closed and I was afraid that I would have to put it together and it would be wobbly and uneven. However, the shaft was telescopic and just pulled out, tall. No assembly was required I just had to extend the shaft the. The clamps are like open-close levers that you can clamp tightly on the shaft to secure the exact length you want so you can customize it to any length. I was also reluctant to order this model because it didn't have a bow holder. However, I resolved this by resting the bow on one of the string pegs of the cello. The material is light but very sturdy and has a nice smooth texture with a slight grip to it. It doesn't look like the paint will chip nor that the metal will scratch the instrument at all. It is compact so it will fit in any corner of the room and it is low profile so your cello can be the center of attention. I love this stand and wish we had gotten it sooner. It is a quality, practical, functional, stylish, easy to use product and we highly recommend it. Happy customer!
