I've seen some pictures on this forum of fancy woodwork for violin hangers, music stands, etc. but I think the brave innovator deserves some recognition.

Eureka, we have the All Purpose Violin Stand.

Holds a full size violin up to a 15" viola.

Holds acoustics or electrics.

Provisions for 3 bow holding slots.  Carbon fiber or wood.

This item is ecology friendly.  Biodegradable.

Works for fiddles and violins.

Made by highly trained craftsmen using only the finest materials.

WOW!IMG_2599.JPGImage Enlarger

Pure genius!

Plus you can get a new one every time you go the grocery store.

And Mad,  there cheap enough to get one for your cat and one for your fiddle.

No matter where you go, there you are!

Now, if you get a refrigerator box, you can make a music stand to go with it.

:)

BTW, cats will only want the box that you've got something important in, i.e. the violin. If you make a special box for them, they'll turn up their kitty noses at it.

@Kinda S.    Yeah, I guess cats can be contrary and I should forget about plans for a Kitty Kondo upgrade blurry_drunk-2127

 

@ftufc   I was up at EVS yesterday for a cable.  The Bridge has performed well under fire.  I think that the semi-hollow construction adds more good bass than a solid body might. 

 

@Cdenny    Black on special ($) order only.

 

@Cool P.     The funny part is that it comes in very handy  coffee2

I think "cost effective" is a fair description.  I tried to keep it reasonable.

Nice design, classic lines, a lot of good selling points.  Probably will hold up better than some of your competitors' products as well. 

You probably could make a waterproof version from the election year signage, but I don't know as your market would find the synthetic material as attractive.

Glad you reminded me about the election year.  Time sure flies. (when is it?) 

I did not consider that all those signs were good for anything except to block the view at intersections.  Maybe a good source for space age materials as you suggest.

I love it but don't give away all these brilliant ideas for free Oliver, I am still trying to sell violin stands. :-)

Well, your stand features compact folding and I will admit that I'm having problems with that.

I may have to buy your stand for year end programs at church.  They might otherwise get bent out of shape with my version.  So far I just keep the open case handy where someone will certainly trip over it eventually.

HOWEVER,  If I ever get a new amp it will be your RMS 40W.  That is awesome for the price.  10" speakers with tweeters jimi-hendrixand all the other goodies.  I have paid almost as much for a lot less !  lumpy-2134I would say that is the best amp bargain I have found on the internet in recent history.

Ya know, I'm not really sure but the figure seems to be a bit devilish which I associate with guys. (Women are less likely to be involved in dumb stunts in a coffee cup.)

By the way, I mentioned that the FM violin stand could be compactly folded.  Well, my stand can also be folded but only once and that might work for some users.
