  • Guitar Stands

    Our favourite guitar stand supplier is Hercules. Originator of the auto-grab system, which is so convenient, these are good robust stands. Personally, I prefer stands which hold the neck (vital if you have children and dogs running around), but there are good A frames stands of you are short of space, or just want something compact. Wall hangers are a good choice, especially if you are short of floor space, but be careful not to position them above radiators or on outside walls.

    This portable K&M A-frame guitar stand is suitable for acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. There is a push button system that enables adjustment for different types of guitars. This stand folds flat for easy transport and can also be used with guitars which have a nitrocellulose finish. As usual for K&M, this comes with K&M standard 5-year guarantee. Make sure you pick the correct one to hold your guitar (electric guitars are much thinner than classical and acoustic ones), but this model will work for all types.

    This Hercules guitar stand also fits acoustic and electric guitars has hard rubber contacts and a special formulated foam which protects your guitar from scratches. Very compact design which will fit most gig bags as well. The design fits both acoustic and electric instruments and folds down enough to fit in gig bags. Very light weight at just 0.5kg.

    Hercules guitar wall hangers are a great option, especially if you need to keep your guitars off the floor (you know – kids, pets, or just being a bit of a klutz). The have the Hercules Auto Grip System and we have used the slatwall version of these successfully for years. For home use the wood finishes are aesthetically pleasing. The grip mechanism itself uses specially formulated foam rubber fully protects your guitar and will take up to 7kg in weight.

    For Multi-Guitar stands the K&M and Hercules are excellent choices.

  • Konig & Meyer Adjustable Music Stand

    Konig & Meyer Adjustable Music Stand

    One thing that a lot of people make a mistake about are music stands. There are two types: cheap ones and more expensive ones. The main difference is you’ll buy a lot more cheap ones than dear ones because the cheap ones will fail quickly, often when it’s least convenient, while the dear ones will give you 4 or 5 years of reliable service. Why is this reliability important? Well, you don’t want to be giving a performance somewhere and watch your music sink to the level of your ankles. It’s not just embarrassing, it makes the music hard to play as well.

    These Konig and Meyers are some of the best stands you can get and, not surprisingly are also best sellers. Your Reviewer has worked in music retail for decades and can count the number of returns for this product, the K&M 101, on one hand. The actual number of sales exceeds the number of fingers on your Reviewers hands by quite a large margin. Polydactyly is not involved. The 3-piece design folds down into a neat, portable box and at around 1kg in weight, it isn’t too heavy. Think of a litre of milk. Doesn’t come with a bag, but you can’t have everything! However, for a price….. Available in black or nickel , or you can have the stand and a matching bag. At the time of writing the stands cost under £25, the bags 7 or 8 quid.

    Think of it as an investment in face-saving.
