will this hold smaller instruments (mandolin, banjo, violin) ?

The head stock on those instruments might be too small. These work well for a 1/2 size guitar and ukuleles.

For those instruments, yeah. The question really is, "will the screws that hold this to the wall hold the instrument?". The device itself is sturdy and can probably hold a heavier guitar. The weakness or strength really depends on how it is attached to the wall. For heavier instruments (not your examples), the screws that came with this may not be enough for a stud mount. Get longer screws if fastening to a stud. Get really good drywall anchors if not affixing to a stud, again for heavier instruments. For your application though, the screws may be enough, make sure you mount them correctly. For those instruments, yeah.

The width of the neck oepning is foam padded and 2 and 1/4 inches. So while your neck is undoubtedly more narrow than that, it depends on the head of the instrument and wether or not it will rest on the pads. The only othervthing I might mention is the guards which pull down and hold the instrument from falling out are spring loaded and pull doan from the weight of the instrument. I would think a banjo or a mandolin would weigh enough to trip the levers....not sure about a violin. But I think a violin is too narrow at the neck and head, anyway. Greg

I have this stand and I think it would work well for a banjo. It worked for my old Ovation guitar (which had the rounded back) and it works with my new guitar. The tongs might stick out a bit, but that would not hinder it from working well.

I would think so. It fits two different sizes of guitars in our house, and you can make it wider or narrower. It's a versatile stand.

This will accommodate a banjo under 39" in total length with less than 26" long neck and headstock. My banjo is 36.5" with a 23" neck and headstock.

Yes, I agree with the others on this. The stand should work fine for a guitar or a banjo.

No It is too small. As noted by others it is heavy and the set screw was damaged (could not hold weight). I modified to fit cymbal stand and it works great for me.

Mike,This is a standard size A style mandolin, so it should fit most (if not all) cases you find online.I do not know a specific brand to suggest, but I can provide you with the dimensions of the instrument if that helps.Just message me if you need the specs.Honestly, I would be confident in buying an "A" style mandolin case off of Amazon just assuming it will work.

Length 44", lower bout 16 1/4", upper bout 13 1/8". There's a soft foam lining and those dimensions are with the lining uncompressed, so a slightly larger instrument would fit, snugly.

It should, there is lots of room for the 5th string peg no matter what side of the banjo neck it is on.

I am not sure. We bought it for a 3/4 violin. It fit well in the display case with some room around it. It would probably work if the dimensions of the ukulele are the same as a 3/4 violin.

I think so if that's the same size as a 4/4 violin. It's not adjustable, so measure carefully.

i don't think so, you know the size and the shape of a mandolin are quite different from other instruments. even though the size fits, you can't be sure that the shape and depth goes well too.

I'm not sure. I have it for my uke, which is wider at the top than a violin, but it might fit.

Hi! There are several case options here on Amazon that will work for you depending on whether you want a hard case or a gig bag. Any standard full size banjo case will work. Thanks!

Yea it can hold a guitar that is 1mm tall up to to a full size guitar. It's a pretty versatile case. I recommend it to you!

If you have a full size (4/4) violin yes the shoulder rest will fit in the case. If the case is any more small, the rest will not fit.

This case might be a little big for a banjo ukulele. The 9" diameter head will not be supported on the sides because the case is about 10 1/2 " wide at the circular part.
