<p>A stand (10) for supporting a musical instrument (12), such as a guitar, in an upright position when not in use and for retention on the instrument when the instrument is in use. The stand comprises a mounting base (22) secured to the rear surface of the instrument (18), and a support portion (24) pivotally connected to the mounting base (22) and containing two foot portions (34A, 34B). The pivotal attachment allows the support portion (24) to transition between a first, closed position adjacent the rear surface of the instrument (18) to a second, open position spaced away from the rear surface of the instrument (18) where, together with the bottom edge of the instrument (20), the foot portions (34A, 34B) act to support the instrument (12). The support portion (24) is spring-loaded and automatically returns to and is retained in the first, closed position when the instrument (12) is lifted for use.</p> |
