String Swing Violin Hanger for Mic or Music Stand

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.

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!

Works Great! Very useful and Great Quality!Would buy again!

I received this music stand as a gift and I’ve been very pleased with the quality and the functionality of the stand.For starters, it was extremely easy to put together. It has been easy to adjust the height of the stand depending on whether I’m sitting or standing.I find the page holders especially useful to keep my music books open. The music clip is a cute accessory, but I’ve yet to put it to use.The carry case is a great feature as well, but I have not had the opportunity to use it.This stand is also compatible with a violin hanger.Overall, I’m very pleased with this music stand and would recommend it to others.

I needed something besides my case to hold my violin while I'm working with students, so that I can access it easily, but then put it out the way quickly when I need to. This was the perfect solution. I have it on my Manhasset stand. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because you have to make sure to put it on the hanger carefully so that it rests on the peg box and not on the tuning pegs. Also, the packaging sucks. Just put it in a box. Took me longer to get it out of the packaging than to install it. Other than that, it's great. Side note - I'm not able to lower the stand all the way with the violin hanging there, but that's because of the stand, not the hanger. Also, please overlook all the rosin I need to clean off my violin. Thanks.

I picked up the violin two years ago and have been practicing since. I keep my violin in its case underneath my bed so sometimes I forget about it. You know what they say « out of sight, out of mind » I don’t practice nearly enough as I should. I got this attachment and stuck it on one of my black steel lamp posts. It doesn’t have to be a microphone or a music sheet holder. Learning violin is more of a bucket list item for me because I love classical music. I started late and don’t intend on making a career of it. However, I also have limited space. I like having the visualization of the violin and that it doesn’t get in the way of anything. It truly is an amazing product. I 100% recommend.

Does exactly what's it's supposed to do! Easy to add onto music stand and feels very secure to me. Love having a specific holder for my violin instead of using the churches' spare guitar one.
