Stagg SV-VN Violin Stand

I sincerely doubt that the person who designed this “stand” has ever seen a violin before, not even on a picture.

The violin neck doesn’t even touch the neck rest, instead the scroll is resting directly on the bow holder metal tube. The bow holder is just enough high to get a third of an inch clearance from the floor when hanging a normal sized bow on it, which is ridiculous. The neck holder is removable but there is no padding for the back of the violin if using it this way. The foot print of the stand is too narrow to get a confident feel of safety.

The less than half priced Millennium stand is a hundred times better. I wanted to try the Stagg because of the bow hanging feature. Useless, don’t recommend this to anyone.
