As with everything musical, there is a huge range to choose from. I always prefer to stay away from super cheap stands. Your instrument can be worth a lot of money, so why skimp on the stand and risk damage? After all, it’s better to spend a little bit of money on a stand rather than putting it down on a chair and sitting on it – anyone who has done this will never forget the sound of a shattering instrument. A good stand will also be designed to keep your instrument in good condition by avoiding improper storage. In a more professional situation, it’s easier to manage the use of multiple instruments if good, well designed stands are used, and in a domestic situation you’re more likely to play your instrument if you can see it – tucked away in a bag in the corner makes it easy to ignore!
My favourite instrument stand brands are Konig & Meyer (which come with 5 year guarantees) and Hercules. Both these brands, which in my many years in retail, have very, very low rates of returns, with TGI and Nomad giving good cheaper options.
