I'm concerned about the back of the stand scrapping up the back of my cello, could anyone tell me if it does scratch the cello?

The back of the cello does not touch the back of the stand at all. It rests on 2 rubber coated hooks that cradle the bottom. It will not scratch it. We bought this for our son and it is a quality piece of equipment.

hello! good question/concern! actually the cello back does not even touch the upright portion of the stand. the only parts of the stand that connects w/ the cello are the two lower arms that support the lower portion AND the highest portion of the stand that the cello "neck" rests on. both are reinforced w/ durable foam-like material. we've had no problems thus far. my opinion is that it is a great stand for the price! blessings!

No issues with back of cello. The only contact points are at the neck and the two at base of cello. Stand is sturdy, looks good and is a good deal. I have a large dog, and two children and have had no issues with the stand stability, even with a busy household.

The cello doesn't touch the back of the stand. It sits on the padded sides and the neck is on the holder. There is no issue.

The only contact point on my cello is at the neck and underneath, both of which are contacted with a foam-like material. There is also a foam section on the part that is closest to the back of the cello, but there is so much clearance that it shouldn't hit it anyway. So...I can't imagine how it would scratch an instrument.

We have 2 of these stands-one for a bass and one for a cello. There is a small pad on the stand that protects the back of the instrument and another at the neck. We are exceptionally fussy about our instruments-this stand keeps them safe and easily accessible for practicing.

I see no reason why not. It has good weight and enough material covering the steel that there's no chance of scratching. I really like mine ..... great little stand - sturdy & well made @ a good price.

Hey Tom, I have been using this for 8 months, it almost always stays on the guitar unless I'm in travel, I have not noticed any damage at all. I imagine if the foam wasn't in an ideal situation it could cause some damage, like moisture, heat, sunlight, etc. I keep mine indoors and climate controlled. of course the foam is similar to that of the capo I use, so I'm not sure where the damage would come from. Maybe someone else with longer usage can chime in and answer this better. Cheers

Sorry about the delay to your question. I had never noticed any scratches but I decided to take a close look before answering. Well, I did find a few tiny scratches but nothing really noticeable. I usually wipe the table down gently with a damp soft cloth or sponge after using it. I have used a table cloth on occasion to protect the finish but not always. One thing I will mention is the table did chip when I accidentally banged it against the door jam while taking it outside. Nothing major but a tiny piece of the black finish chipped off. Hopes this helps.

Hi, I have been using this stylus for over a year and have no signs of any scratches at all. The stylus tip has a coating on it so it moves smoothly over the glass. I have had both this and the adonit - but preferred this as the tip had more give and I felt the surface recognition was more consistent. Agree that it is somewhat fragile so I would recommend you purchase a spare tip so you can replace it if it gets bent.

I agree. Send it back. Ours has held up well. The chain broke, but the cello is sturdy.

I don't have any problems with it scratching my computer. I have a MacBook Pro and I was afraid of that. I used it for about 4 months without any problems with it scratching my computer but then I eventually bought a protective case for my computer as well.

The bottom is smooth finished wood. I can't see how it would scratch anything.

I have found that as long as you keep your stand in a normal temperature range setting, the rubber material will be okay. However, if you place a guitar aboard and leave it for months without touching it, you may find that the rubber material will transfer to the guitar. But I have also had that occur with very good quality wall mounts. An expensive guitar? I would definitely keep cased until play.

I used the plastic to make "glass slippers" and I did not notice any issues with scratching, but I did not use it with other card stock. So I am not sure if will with stand rubbing against something else. I did have one sample laying on my desk for a few weeks and didn't notice any scratching and let me tell you it got moved around and stuff piled on top of it.

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

I bought this stand for my husband who plays his guitar and he likes it. He does play it on a carpet. So for him it does not wander. He thinks it should not be a problem.I don"t know if you have seen a music stand that my husband and myself saw a John Schneiderman and Yamaya Duo play a duet on 18th century Plucked Strings atthe Bowers Museum Concert Hall. These Musicians both used the same type of stand with 3 rubbered feet. I would think that if you had doubts about the On-StageSM7211. That you might want to check out the type of stand these Master Musicians use. I would suggest checking out you-tube, where I know John Schnridermanplays his Lute. Good Luck! Carol R.

I wouldn't recommend this as a cello case. I bought it thinking I could use it (for my full size cello) until my hard case arrived. It has "no" real cushioning to protect your cello. I couldn't return it, as I had thrown away all paper work/packaging... :(

There's a pressure clamp on the tuner that you clip to the head of the uke. It has soft jaws so it doesn't scratch the finish.

The finish is rather nice and very durable. But one must keep in mind that it is wood. And just like all wood products, it can be damaged if abused. If scratches and nicks are a concern, perhaps some type of covering should be used to keep the finish flawless?

I asked my husband this question since he enjoys dabbling in minor carpentry projects and he thinks it's solid wood. My cello fits well though it is a little snug. But it still works for me.

Hi, Here are my concerns when I got this product: 1. Very small clamp- I got it hoping that it would fit my music stand and has a VERY SMALL clamp so was not able to use it. 2. This product is VERY HEAVY Be careful with this product-consider a different one that is lighter and that has a better clamp.
