Wing Stands

I use one and like it better than my Cobra one since it has a wider
spot for the wing to sit on, plus 4 wide legs instead of the normal
3. *Collapses to almost half the length of my trailer box.
I added foam padding plus a carpet covering to the top. *Although I've
seen some use it with just some foam glued to the top.

The only issue I had with mine is the tightening handle broke off
after many, many repeated uses. *I was tightening down way too hard
though. *Bought some replacement handles and haven't broken another
one since.

Okay stand, but I also broke the original handle. Easily repaired or
replaced. Four-point base, which will tend to wobble more than a
three-point base.

Tim,

Any chance you've got some photos somewhere that you can share? I've
often thought that musical stands, either for speakers or percussion
instruments would be a good base from which to modify into a very
durable and sturdy wing stand. I'm curious to see how you modified the
top incorporate a wing support.

Kevin,

I use the Pearl C900 Cymbal Stands and just build a one foot support
with padding and a redwood top rail that is bolted in the center using
the threads on the top of the stand. The nice thing is the pad can
then be folded 90 degrees if you like for storage.

I will take some pictures this weekend and send them to you.
