As with all wall hangers, these can be a good choice if you don’t need to travel with your violin, or have children or pets running round, but be careful where you place the hanger (avoid radiators, for example). Wall hangers can be a good choice for musicians who prefer to keep their instrument easily accessible and on display. While prices can vary depending on the brand and materials used, it is typically a budget-friendly option compared to floor stands.

However, as always, the Hercules DS57WB offering is pretty hard to ignore. The Hercules Auto Grip System holds the instrument securely, while at the same time releases your instrument quickly when you want to play. The specially formulated foam fully protects instrument at all contact points and the wood base makes mounting easy. They also do a slatwall offering, but this is more for retail rather than domestic use.
