Instands introduces revolutionary wooden music instrument stands, offering musicians not only proper storage for their valuable instruments but also serving as a versatile support system during rehearsals, breaks, and performances. Additionally, these stands present an elegant solution for showcasing and storing instruments at home.
The objective was to modernize and enhance the production lines for Euphonium, French Horn, and Baritone, previously handcrafted. Traditionally, four different bracket sizes were employed per instrument. The innovative design of a unified bracket not only integrates all four sizes but also allows for easy detachment from the clip, enhancing convenience and simplifying production, logistics, and user experience.
The instrument holders’ swift disassembly is made possible through integrated magnets, enabling easy dismantling and compact storage for transportation with just two simple actions.
To align with sustainable practices, biodegradable plastic was chosen for the brackets, and the contact surfaces were thoughtfully adorned with local felt for a comfortable instrument placement that ensures protection. The primary structural wood is responsibly sourced from local storm-generated broken wood.
