Perfect!
Ingles Adjustable Violin Viola Stand
This stand is both heavy duty, and also quite heavy. There is no danger of this stand being easily knocked over. The weight of the stand and stability of the base, along with the overall design and construction, are quite impressive.
It has what appears to be a rugged, powder coated finish. As advertised, it will hold your instrument without having to remove the shoulder rest, should you use one.
There is a heavy duty plastic lever that swings down over the neck yoke. This keeps the instrument securely locked into the stand. The lever is easily operated with one hand. The lever is placed such that it is easiest to use with your right hand, which is perfect, allowing you to grab the instrument with your left.
My only complaint would be that it is low to the ground (just as it appears in the photo). Because of this, you probably don't want to leave it standing alone in the middle of an open area, where someone could trip over it. I use two if these when playing, and keep them right near my music and mic stands, so that they will not be able to get tripped over.

This is the second/same stand I bought for my daughter. We use them at home and unless she is going for lessons, never put away our violins since we bought the stands. Very solid. My daughter is on a half sized violin and mine are full sized. It accomodates both wonderfully. In fairness, I haven't tried any other stands, but why would I want to if I have what I want!

I recently bought two different stands for a musical production I performed in. I used this stand for my violin and was extremely pleased with it. I felt very confident that my violin would be secure once I set it down. I cut corners and spent a little less on a different stand that was not as well designed (and was cheaper) for my mandolin and was extremely disappointed. Lesson learned.
This is an awesome stand. I really love it. I will purchase another one for my electric violin. It's one of the better stands for violins.
This is an excellent product with a good price, we use these at work frequently, and I love having it at home. The only thing you should know is that I have seen different list prices at work it is $32.70 and on another website $39.95
This is a sturdy stand that helps me feel that my violin is safe standing alone in the stand. I have used other violin stands that I felt the violin would just fall off and cause damage to the instrument. This stand has great safety lock to ensure the violin will stay in the stand and has good padding on the resting pegs so it does not scratch the instrument.
Well worth the investment to know that my instrument is safe.
I ordered this violin stand via Amazon from Johnson String Instruments. The company does an excellent job with shipping the items quickly.
This violin stand is top notch. I don't think you could improve on the design. It adjusts for the height of your instrument and the bow hook also adjusts to various heights. It folds quickly and compactly so you can tuck it out of the way if necessary or of course is terrific for carrying with you.
Excellent violin stand. Highly recommend both the stand and the Johnson String Instrument company.
My ten year old daughter loves this stand! She keeps it in her room and picks up her violin whenever she feels like playing. The stand is easy to use and very stable.
The Ingles stand does two key things - first, it keeps the violin and bow secure using its padded cradle arms, padded hook, and lock mechanism (which holds the violin in place in case the stand is bumped). Second, the stand allows you to keep the violin and bow out and within easy reach. The latter saves considerable time since you don't need to spend valuable practice or playing time extracting the instrument from its case. Plus I find with the violin so accessible and visible, I'm more tempted to pick it up and do a bit more practicing. The stand itself takes up fairly little room; good for those with space issues. One thing to note - be sure to place the stand away from heating elements, windows, or other places where severe temperature fluctuations are possible; while the stand can handle it, the temperature changes wouldn't be good for the instrument.
