Bob, tell us the length of the folded stand and its mass.

Years ago a musical buddy gave me a stand which folds up to a length of 35 cm (14.5 inches) and has a mass of 1 kg (35 ounces). It goes everywhere with me in my ditty bag. The only printing on it says W. Germany. The threads stripped on one of the thumb screws about 5 years ago, so I had to drill and tap a new hole and make a new thumb screw for it. Call me CHEAP! But when I get ready to buy another, it will definitely be one like this, or smaller and lighter.

Oliver
