String Swing Violin Hanger for Mic or Music Stand

I skeptically bought this item. The last thing I would want to envision is seeing my violin on the ceramic floor when coming home someday, all in pieces. However, for something about $9 in price, it wouldn't hurt to try it out.My comments are exactly the same as those before me, it truly works! I use this on my collapsable music stand and is probably the only thing adding stability to it as they make music stands so flimsy these days. I bought the D'luca music stand from Amazon and I place it on the thinnest tubing of the stand itself, close to where you place your music.. not much more than 1cm in diameter. It holds very well.The item itself is well made, better quality than my stand itself. If you use the swing hanger, its best to have a shoulder rest on your instrument to prevent it from hitting your stand. The bow sits afloat the instrument itself and barely makes contact as it tends to hover right over the fingerboard and bridge piece. You can fit two bows on the bow hook.Despite buying this item, I still place my violin and bow on a table or sofa instead of in the hook. So its presence is so inconspicuous it takes some time to get used to placing your instrument on it. I do play a little more often because the instrument is now ready for use.Its a great item because its portable, easy to set up, you can use it during orchestra rehearsals if you bring your own stand, or even use those huge Manhasset stands. So useful during/after playing breaks, where you're too tired to rummage through your case to get your instrument.A really great buy for its value and purpose!

Bracket is metal/steel material and sturdy. Functions as advertised. No problems with assembly and use. Easy peasy.

I bought this for orchestra practice and I'm very glad I did. It says it's for a mic but it works perfectly for a violin and bow during breaks from playing. I trust it to hold the instrument securely.

I was debating between this hanger and the one that you install on the edge of the music stand part where you sit your music notes.I am not a musician and was buying it for a kid so that was just a matter of logic and I figured that this thing if it is designed right andsturdy should be good and not to be in the way of flipping sheets if resting and needing to.I am very happy when it arrived and we installed it on the leg of the music stand.It is very sturdy, installation was so easy and so fast I did it in no time, it is just a matter of putting it on and tightening thatscrew to adjust how tight or how loose and in which position you want the hanger. You can put it in any place andface any way so it is total freedom.To me most important are sturdiness: it is totally safe to hold an expensive instrument without hurting it in any way and also perfect for the bow.It is so comfortable and so easy to use, all you do is take off the bow first an then the violin and put back in opposite order, first you hangyour violin then bow.Perfect for a child because before we got this the violin was sitting in the box before uses and the accessibility was limited because for a child to open a case and take instrument out is a whole production. Now since the violin is always out there, always accessible and so inviting to usekids want to play without any extra steps. It is like with a piano that is always out there to be played, no extra steps needed.This thing is awesome because it not only keeps your violin where you want it and safe but also makes you play so much more..I am very happy with it, I think it is ingenious design and it does wonders for us.I hear people do get this for kids to take to school when play so the instruments are placed safely without a worry of someone accidentally stepping on one. It is worth to consider I think if one has a child that can manage to put it on and take it off without needed help. I am not sure at what point the kids are strong enough to do so by themselves.

This definitely is sturdy and made well enough, and holds up my fiddle when I'm not playing it, on a mic stand. But the screw takes FOREVER to tighten or loosen, and cannot be done with just one hand like my old fiddle hook, which was actually for a mandolin and had more of a quick-release spring mechanism claw with a tightening knob. Also, this hook has to be kind of forced/wiggled onto thicker diameter mic stands, and takes EXTRA long to screw onto especially narrow diameter stands, not to mention seeming less stable once it is on them because the screw is then pretty off center. Meh.

Our daughter's been playing the violin since she was five and for years has wanted one of these. We don't regret the purchase at all. She uses it every time she practices and it works exactly as it should. It was easy to attach and assemble.

This one has the updated screw attachment. Works much better than the previous version.

I use this to hang my violin and bow on my music stand. I can grab my instrument at anytime to play.

es súper práctico, y bastante rígido, de buen material y muy resistente, no tengo que quitarlo por completo, basta que aflojarlo un poco al momento de guardar mi atril plegable en su bolsa

This works really well - better than i expected. Nice and robust, and i now use it all the time - at home too or keeps my fiddle ready to play so encourages practise

Ottimo prodotto. Robusto e resistente. Una comodità per chi suona e non vuole tenersi la custodia sempre vicino.

Excellent achat
