Protect Your String Instrument With a Cello or Double Bass Stand

Cellos and double basses are grand, impressive instruments with deep, resonant tones. Despite their size, they are delicate and vulnerable—even a small misstep can result in costly repairs. A well-designed cello stand provides a stable and secure holder for your instrument, reducing the risk of accidental falls.

At Simply for Strings, we offer a selection of premium-quality cello and double bass stands designed to support and protect your instrument. From compact, portable options to solid wooden options, our collection has something to suit every musician’s needs.

Choosing the Best Cello Stand

A musical instrument stand is an essential tool that has many benefits, including:

  • Provide a safe home for your instrument between playing sessions.
  • Prevent damage from accidental falls or bumps.
  • Allow easy access when inspiration strikes.
  • Showcase your beautiful instrument as a work of art, which string instruments often are.

It's a versatile and practical accessory to keep your cello or bass steady, secure, and always within reach. To get the best cello stand, look for options with:

  • Stability. A good stand should securely hold your instrument without wobbling or tipping over.
  • Padding and protection. Stands with cushioned contact points help prevent scratches and damage.
  • Accessibility. A well-designed stand should make it effortless to grab your instrument and start playing.
  • Adjustability. Height-adjustable models provide added versatility. You can adapt your instrument's position precisely to your convenience.
  • Height. Similar to the height-adjustable models, some cello and bass stands sit lower to the ground, requiring the player to insert the endpin, while others are higher set from the ground, and you can rest the instrument on the stand without the endpin inserted.

At Simply for Strings, we stock only the finest instrument accessories to help you choose the right piece for your playing and storage.

Cello and Double Bass Stand Collection

Our selection of high-end stands offers solutions for every situation, from home practice to professional performance settings.

Cello Box Stands

Our wooden box stands in walnut finish is a perfect example of form meeting function. The solid, stable design cradles your cello's lower bout in a luxuriously padded frame for maximum security. The stand also serves as a beautiful display in your home or studio, so you can show off your cello as a feature piece in your home. Plus, your instrument stays visible and accessible, ready to play whenever needed—a good reminder to practice.

Combination Stand and Stool

The most innovative options at Simply for Strings are the cello and double bass stand and stool combinations. The thick foam seat provides exceptional comfort during long practice sessions or performances, while a thoughtfully designed stand is suitable for storing your instrument between practice sessions. The stand supports a more natural playing position and prevents the player's fatigue and potential injuries from improper posture.

The stand also securely holds your instrument and protects it from wear. Built from strong, formaldehyde-free medium-density fibreboard with rubber-coated edges, the stand provides maximum rigidity and can support up to 226kg.

Tubular Style Cello and Bass Stands

At Simply for Strings, you'll find tubular stands that can be assembled quickly on demand. For instance, the Beam Auto-Grip Stand for Cello offers an automatic grip mechanism that securely clasps your instrument around the neck, locking it safely in place. When it's time to travel, the mechanism folds down for easy transportation. The heavy-duty design features three retractable legs and height adjustment, providing stability for instruments of any size.

For the double bass, consider the classic Beam Stand. It offers similar sturdy construction with convenient, practical features. It allows you to leave your endpin extended at playing length as the support cradles adjust to your preferred height. The lockable U-shaped neck holder also adjusts easily, and a built-in bow holder keeps your bow safe and accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave my cello on a stand?

Yes, you can! As long as it is kept in a room with stable temperatures and is not sitting in direct sunlight. Use a high-quality cello stand with proper padding and support to keep your instrument secure. However, for long-term storage, it is best to keep your cello in its case to protect it from dust, fluctuating temperature, and humidity.

Can I use a guitar stand for a cello?

No, a guitar stand is not suitable for a cello. Guitars and cellos have different shapes, weights, and balance points. A cello needs a stand designed to support its larger size and unique structure. Using a guitar stand may put your cello at risk of falling. Improper storage may cause extensive damage to your instrument.

Can you stand when playing a double bass?

Yes, many bassists prefer to stand, especially in jazz or orchestral settings. Standing provides greater freedom of movement and allows for better bowing or plucking techniques. However, a bass stool will be a more comfortable option for extended playing sessions. It can help with positioning and reduce fatigue.

How do you store double bass at home?

At home, store your double bass in a case or on a stand. Your instrument needs a stable, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity fluctuations. A dedicated case ensures maximum protection, but if you want easy access for regular practice, a well-padded double bass stand is a great option. Always ensure the bass is positioned securely to prevent tipping over.
