Admin 14 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Right now I put my dulcimers back in their case when I'm done playing, but I'd like to have get a stand for them. My main motivation is ease of access, so I can just grab one and play when I sit down in the living room. I'd also like to display them, like folks do with guitars. Does anyone have recommendations for a good stand? I did some searching, but most of what I came up with were either hammered dulcimer stands or generic instrument stands that looked like they may not work well for a dulcimer.

NoterMan 15 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I've seen purpose-built dulcimer display stands promoted on some of the FB dulcimer pages. Building a stand to hold a couple dulcimers should not be hard. I think most people hang them on an interior wall rather than putting them in a floor stand. Playing stands are another whole subject. Keyboard stands work well, as do adjustable "granny-walkers" and folding restaurant tray tables. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoterMan 15 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yea. Doug's adjustable design is a classic, and a fair price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Mathieu 1 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have a plan for an easy-to-build MD display stand that William Wright had shared a few years ago. Please e-mail me at: dulcimarc - at - gmail - dot - com and I'd be more than happy to share it. Marc M. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks - that looks great! And reasonably priced too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take you up on it, but I'm not in a position to do much in the way of woodworking at home currently. Hopefully in a year or two. 🙂 For this time around, I've got to go for one that's already built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Susie 1 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I took a $10 guitar stand and converted it to a dulcimer stand by widening the width of the top bracket and making a "sling" to hold the dulcimer at the bottom. It turned out really nice, IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin1952 0 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Does anyone have a plan for a stand on which to play the dulcimer they'd be willing to share, or dimensions of an existing one? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoterMan 15 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I use a collapsable waiters' tray table wooden V legs, woven straps to give the open width of the top; cost me $25 at a restaurant supply store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
