Like visual artists, musicians tend to also answer the call of their muse, wherever it takes them. Sometimes, however, that takes them to places where there’s no safe place to put down their instruments. This is especially problematic for stringed instruments like guitars of all kinds, ukuleles, mandolins, and others that have to be placed upright.
Of course, there are floor stands designed for these instruments, but almost all the available ones don’t exactly make it easy for you to carry them around. To address that need, this portable floor stand collapses completely flat and can be unfolded in just seconds, making it effortless to set up your busking spot anywhere. Best of all, it’s made of sustainable materials to satisfy conscientious musicians.

The common design of guitar stands doesn’t actually inspire confidence with their thin arms and flimsy legs. In fact, they don’t inspire at all with their rather plain appearance, more like spindly monsters that promise security and safety but let you and your instrument down in the end. For discerning musicians, these critical tools just bring stress and worry, and that’s even when they’re just using them at home.
The NordicStand is designed to cater to the needs and whims of inspired musicians who need to be able to take their craft anywhere. In just 3 seconds, it can go from flat to stand and back again, taking away any friction as you shuffle from one venue to the next. At only 960g, the collapsible stand easily fits in your guitar’s front pocket and won’t add much weight to your baggage.
It’s also claimed to be the most eco-friendly instrument stand, made using sustainably sourced wood and aluminum, and lined with oiled cork. The materials bring a touch of natural elegance to the design, making it stand out when your instrument isn’t resting on it. Its special mechanism not only deploys the stand in just seconds, it also secures any instrument of any size up to 11kg (25 lbs) in weight.
The NordicStand delivers a musical accessory that hits all the right notes, pun totally intended. Elegant and eco-friendly, it literally puts your favorite musical instrument on a pedestal while also ensuring that their craft doesn’t harm the environment in the process.
