After 15 years of playing the hammered dulcimer at festivals and jam sessions, I was tired of having to cart around one stand for sitting and one for standing, never knowing for sure which one I’d need.  Most stands have a fixed playing angle, and the adjustable one I found worked well, but it was difficult and time-consuming process.  I looked everywhere for the stand that would suit all my needs and came up empty, so the only answer was to design one myself – and that’s how we came up with the The Only Stand –  the only stand you’ll ever need!
 
The Only Stand is a truly unique take on the traditional one-height, one-angle scissor stand.  You can even adjust it for uneven footing when playing outside. 
 
The secret is all in the straps:
  • Straps at the top of the stand allow adjustment for sitting or standing height
  • Straps instead of metal hinges, which eventually pull loose or break
  • Two wrapping straps securely hold the legs together for carrying
  • Center handle and shoulder strap make carrying a breeze
Other features:
  • Large, easy-turn knobs
  • Multiple holes on each leg allow adjustment for multiple playing angles  
  • Non-marking rubber cushions are safe for your dulcimer
 
Both Standard and Compact models in Maple or Cherry are very sturdy – they easily hold my David Lindsey Grand, which weighs over 50 lbs, steady as a rock.
