Frequently Asked Questions

Will the stand affect the finish on my instrument?

Our stands only contact your instrument under the headstock. This contact point is
leather wrapped around surgical rubber so there is no risk of damaging the finish
on your instrument, even those with nitro lacquer finishes.

Is plywood or fiberboard used instead of solid hardwood?

Only premium hardwoods are used on Take a Stand instrument stands. We currently
offer curly maple, cherry, and walnut. Other woods are available on special order and
more will be offered in the future.
