This stand was custom made, from black walnut, to provide stability for a Contra Bass Recorder. It measures 32 inches across, with a 1 1/4 Dowel. Folding for easy transport.
It was especially important for the owner of the recorder to provide this stability, because of the >$4,000 value of the instrument. The musician needed to have confidence that they could switch instruments quickly, while in concert, without the worrying of instrument damage.
