Ingles Adjustable Folding Cello/Bass Stand (SA-22) Grey

I like how this is a solid stand. I trust having my cello rest on this unit, unlike other stands I’ve used. I like the bow holder, as well. It’s very handy!!

The stand seems to be useful, sturdy, versatile. It will hold the bass. We were concerned about it's condition upon arrival. The box was pretty beat up, but the product seemed OK. The product was shipped in the original, from the manufacturer box with Amazon tape covering previous holes, crushed box corners and shipping damage. It would have benefited from an over-box for shipping to us.

At first, I had hard time to assemble the top part because the size of hole and the stick slightly didn't match but I carved the edge of the hole a little and it goes in, stays perfectly. It perfectly fits for double bass 3/4 size and I am sure it fits for the full size also. (Because you can adjust the height so you can put the base lower)

My son joined orchestra at school and, of course, picked string bass. This stand is perfect to store his 1/2 bass in between practice session. It’s expandable so it should be able to grow with him and his bass. Was nervous about the cost but it’s perfect

Sturdy and fits a stand up bass

This is a fantastic stand and well worth the $41.55 price tag. Here are a few things I considered when looking for a cello stand and how this product matched up:1) Sturdiness and instrument securityWith a cello or string bass, this is priority one. I wanted to make sure neither the stand itself nor the cello's position in the stand would wobble or tip with an accidental jostle. No disappointment here. The base is comprised of two tubes about 1.5 ft long set about 2 ft wide when extended and the height of the padded supports on the base are adjustable. I set mine as far down as possible to lower the center of gravity of my cello. With the adjustable locking neck support, you get a surprisingly solid setup. This is about as secure of a cello stand as you can get short of a wooden box stand.2) Bow holderOne of the biggest problems with cello and bass stands is the lack of bow storage. This stand has a fold-out rubber-padded hook on the back of the neck to place your bow. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.3) Aesthetic appealI'll be honest, one of the reasons I invested in a stand was to show my cello off so having a stand that wouldn't detract from my cello was a must. For the most part, when the cello is in position, the stand is inconspicuous except for the neck support. When the locking mechanism on the neck is in place, it's hard not to notice, but it's a small price to pay for stability. The stand is colored in neutral grays and blacks so the stand itself isn't much to look at, but it hides itself well next to my cello, which is exactly what I wanted it to do.Final thoughts:I thought about buying a box stand, but the idea of spending $150-$200 on something with such a rudimentary function and the fact that the box itself would hide half of the cello's body from view were turn-offs. Converted (i.e. larger) guitar A-frame stands seemed unstable and unsuited for something as large and as delicate as a cello or bass. In the end, this stand was the only one that made any sense. It looks great, it's designed with the cello/bass in mind, it won't put a giant hole in your wallet, and it's rock solid when set up properly. If you're looking for a cello stand, this is the one you want.

So like other items on amazon, the price bounces around quite a bit. I first ordered a stand that sits lower to the floor and does not hold the neck or the bow because A) I was being cheap, and B) I really didn't think it was such a big deal to extend and retract the endpin. The reality is that I just set the cello on the floor on its side with the endpin out, which is not safe for the cello nor the people who walk anywhere near it.It is possible to put your cello on this stand with the endpin out + / - 15 inches. It's not clear from the photos, but yes. And it is sturdy and stable as others have stated.Recommended: don't be cheap, buy this first because you will buy it eventually. If the price seems high, check back. It changes.EDIT / ADDITION: I just bought a second one because I now have two cellos (celli, for you sticklers). Again, I thought it would not be a big deal to keep my spare cello in the low stand that I have, but I found I was reluctant to use that cello with having to put the endpin in and out, plus I had that cello's bow laying on a stand. Now I can grab either cello quickly and easily and both bows have a home of their own.It is a joy to have the stands right there so neither cello is ever on the floor, even if I just go get a drink. So quick, easy, and safe! Highly recommended.

I'm using this to hold my upright bass at home and at church. It's large enough I can put my instrument on it with the endpin extended where I use it. I prefer this over laying my bass on its side, as the finish was starting to scuff up from doing so.It's collapses to a more convenient transport size, though it is still a little awkward to tote around with the hook at the top and nothing to hold it in the folded position.The screw that holds the extension tube for neck of the instrument is faced with a rubber/plastic piece. This piece bends right away and is difficult to use. I cut mine a bit shorter so it wouldn't bend, and that seems to have helped.It would be nice if the legs locked open. I do very much like that bar that locks your instrument into the stand at the top.
