Just as people come on to Mandolin Cafe and brag about their new mandolins, I would like to brag about a new mandolin stand that I received last week.
In the past I tried to use one of those cheap guitar stands for my mandolin, but as I was living in a tropical climate, the black fake rubber bumpers left a smudge mark on the wood; thus, I just left the mandolin in the case.
But recently, a wood worker in Oklahoma began to offer wooden mandolin stands here as a MC sponsor: Solid Ground Stands, which are made in the USA. I selected one made from cherry and got the MC 10% discount. Here some piccies to show it off.
The wood work is excellent, the finish clean, and the hardware solid. The stand has non-marking cloth bumpers at the three places of contact (neck and two different spots on the back) which keep it from touching wood.
It also comes with a carrying case.
NFI on my part. And this was an unsolicited review.
Regards.
