I needed a good place to put my cello when not in use. I had
the following requirements:
- It should be fast to place the cello in the stand, for
instance when the phone rings.
- There should be no need to slide in the end pin.
- The stand should be in-expensive.
- It should not take up much space.
It did not find any stand on the market the fitted the bill so
I decided to make my own. The one you see here is what I came up
with.
It is very easy to assemble if you have any skill at all in
woodworking. The design is not sensitive to precise measures at
all, it can vary a lot in size and still be effective. I don't
have any drawings for it; I just made it from pieces I had lying
around. It could be a lot prettier, but I am not that good
working with my hands. Someday I perhaps carry it to a pro who can
copy it and come up with something that looks nice.
It works good, however.
Close up.
Here you can see the simple design. |
