Hamilton Stands
There was a thread recently regarding mandolin stands. I read it with interest as I had my first gig where I played some mandolin. Well I procrastinated long enough that I had to buy local, so went to my favorite store and was shown a small stand like I had seen in the thread before. I commented it seemed to me not stable enough for playing out. I had not said that before. The guy said I should get a Hamilton stand. I asked if they made them small enough for mandolins. He grabbed a mandolin, lowered the height adjustment on one of their floor stands and sure enough, by design or otherwise, the mandolin was resting on the rubber cross bar.
So a regular Hamilton will work for a bass guitar down to a mandolin with ease. Funny, I never thought to try on the one I have at home. I've always been a fan of stands that hold the headstock and not cradle the base. Much more secure to me. Expensive but worth it.
