Questions & Answers
The tripod's front feet are 11 inches apart, and the back foot is about 13 inches from the imaginary line connecting the two front feet. I adore these stands and have four of them that I bring with me to every gig. They're lightweight and fold up into a small package, making them simple to pack and transport. Although I use one for my tenor banjo, the fact that they are so light may be an issue if you are concerned about someone bumping into your instrument or if you have a very heavy instrument that may cause it to topple over. The instrument is held by fold-down arms that extend out about 3-inches. It won't fit my tenor or regular guitar because it's only 1/2 inch thick. Mandolinists will love it. These are fantastic.
It is unlikely that a guitar neck will fit inside. This is the best banjo, mandolin, or ukulele stand I've ever had, but my guitars won't fit in it because it's only about 2" wide. br>It would be fantastic if they made one that was a little bigger and had the same design.
These are a few of the stands that I have. Simply look up the model numbers to see which ones are appropriate for your instrument. I have a guitar case, a Deering Vega Tubaphone G Banjo case, a Deering Vega Tubaphone Tenor Banjo case, and a Deering Sierra Tenor Banjo case. The smaller neck holder diameter is required by the last two (tenors). The nice thing about these stands is that they are lightweight, sturdy, and fold up into a small, manageable bundle.

I received this email from Amazon asking me to rate my purchase of this stand. I'm a few beers in, so pardon the run-on sentences. I was super drunk after a show and riding home with my buddy who's just generally spacey (the bass player who booked the gig and keeps us in line couldn't make it due to the girlfriend flex flue and wasn't there to make everything flow like usual) and I thought he put my stand in the car, but we forgot my banjo stand, my guitar stand, and the tip jar. I received the tip jar back, but there were no tips in it because no one had put any in the first place. Let's get this party started. Someone had seen the stands on the front table, according to the bar, but they had vanished by morning. Anyway, I needed a stand because we have a show coming up in about four days, so I ordered this one from Amazon. I didn't know much about it, but it looked cool and like it would work, and it was only a few dollars more than $20 or so. With Prime shipping, I received it in less than two days. This thing fits into a small bag and is probably one of the most well-thought-out banjo stand transformer designs I've ever seen. I adore this stand, and I'm constantly amazed at how beautiful and perfect it is in every way. Nothing can be taken away from it, and nothing can be added to it. It's made of extruded aluminum, powder coated, and polymer hard af plastic, and it transforms into the most sturdy stand I've ever owned. I tell everyone I think would be interested in something like this (banjo players and anyone I think is classy) how lovely this stand is, and then I show them how to transform it like a desperate window salesperson in the hopes that they will see it as I do. We most likely play in groups of two. 4x a week and this stand has been rock solid, and I've considered stockpiling them because I don't think I'll ever need another stand, and the price can't be beat.
The banjo neck is too thick to fit in the neck cradle piece, and the resonator will not fit in the bottom cradle. Even if my banjo fit perfectly, this stand appears to be flimsy and inexpensive, and I wouldn't trust it to hold my $2000 banjo. If you're looking for a banjo stand, skip this one and look elsewhere if your banjo is important to you. br>br>And a note to the manufacturer and Amazon: change the description to "banjo stand" instead of "banjo stand," because I don't think any banjo will fit on this thing!.
I bought it to go with a new banjo I bought recently, thinking that having the instrument on a stand would make it easier to play. instead of being stowed away in a case - It's been a successful strategy so far in encouraging me to practice. I'm very pleased with the stand itself, aside from its convenience. It can be adjusted in a variety of ways - The instrument depth is adjusted by extending the top neck and adjusting the two cradles. to ensure that it is the right size for your instrument The extended neck provides good support, and there's a locking bar on the top cradle to keep the instrument from falling out once it's been adjusted. Once I place the instrument in the stand, I have no concerns about it slipping out or being knocked over. The only drawback - and it's only a minor niggle - is the fact that the feet fold out but do not lock into position. When you pick up the stand, the feet will swing back under it, so be careful when setting it down so the feet are in place (which is why I deducted one star for stability). Unless you pick up and move the stand frequently, this isn't a major issue. It's possible to adjust or modify the feet so they don't move, but it hasn't been a big deal so far. Don't just lean your instrument in the corner if you want to keep it close at hand. Get a good stand for your instrument so that it can be supported (and displayed) properly.
I was hesitant to order this stand after reading some negative reviews, but it is exactly what I required. My banjo was being supported by my husband's guitar stand, which was not stable in the straight position of a guitar stand; the slant on the banjo stand allows my banjo to lean back in a much better position. The arms are wide enough to hold a resonator comfortably. It's not a professional stand, but it'll keep my banjo in place for the time being. I've included images to help you understand.
I needed something that would be easy to transport. For my banjo, I need a small folding stand. This one meets all of the requirements. It's light, but it's also very stable and secures the instrument. The head rest adjusts to fit any size head and is a good fit for my resonator banjo. The instrument is securely held in place by a clamp on the neck rest, which prevents it from falling over if it is bumped (just a little). It's well-padded to keep the instrument safe. It's an excellent deal, in my opinion!.
For my Northfield F5S mandolin, I purchased this stand. Inside, I have two pickups and a jack mounted on the end, where the strap connects. As a result, I'll need some space underneath it for the plug and cable when I mount it on a stand. This stand is easily adjustable, so I can raise it off the floor just high enough to plug it in. I was able to easily adjust the upper portion to fit the neck of my mandolin because it is also adjustable. When set up, the front feet have extensions, making it extremely stable. It also folds up into a small package that fits easily into my gig bag. This is the best mandolin stand I've seen. You're not going to be let down.
