Ingles Ingles Adjustable Cello and Bass Stand Review

This is a fantastic stand and well worth the $41.55 price tag.Here are a few things I considered when looking for a cello stand and how this product matched up:

1) Sturdiness and instrument security

With a cello or string bass, this is priority one.I wanted to make sure neither the stand itself nor the cello's position in the stand would wobble or tip with an accidental jostle.No disappointment here.The base is comprised of two tubes about 1.5 ft long set about 2 ft wide when extended and the height of the padded supports on the base are adjustable.I set mine as far down as possible to lower the center of gravity of my cello.With the adjustable locking neck support, you get a surprisingly solid setup.This is about as secure of a cello stand as you can get short of a wooden box stand.

2) Bow holder

One of the biggest problems with cello and bass stands is the lack of bow storage.This stand has a fold-out rubber-padded hook on the back of the neck to place your bow.Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

3) Aesthetic appeal

I'll be honest, one of the reasons I invested in a stand was to show my cello off so having a stand that wouldn't detract from my cello was a must.For the most part, when the cello is in position, the stand is inconspicuous except for the neck support.When the locking mechanism on the neck is in place, it's hard not to notice, but it's a small price to pay for stability.The stand is colored in neutral grays and blacks so the stand itself isn't much to look at, but it hides itself well next to my cello, which is exactly what I wanted it to do.

Final thoughts:

I thought about buying a box stand, but the idea of spending $150-$200 on something with such a rudimentary function and the fact that the box itself would hide half of the cello's body from view were turn-offs.Converted (i.e. larger) guitar A-frame stands seemed unstable and unsuited for something as large and as delicate as a cello or bass.In the end, this stand was the only one that made any sense.It looks great, it's designed with the cello/bass in mind, it won't put a giant hole in your wallet, and it's rock solid when set up properly.If you're looking for a cello stand, this is the one you want.
