Oud Stands: metal, wood, vertical or horizontal...

Hi all,

I'm wondering which stand(s) that you find the best/you use for your Oud ?

Some are vertical like The Hercules (414B or 415B) for guitar : are they good for the oud ?

Others are putting the oud in horizontal position (I expect it ''fatal'' for the oud on stage or in Rehearsal) because you can easily squeeze the neck accidentally... ? like this one : http://www.arabinstruments.com/oud-stand.

Others are on wood (?)

Thanks to share your opinion on this topic

Hi,

I use this and really like it:

GS-100

There is also this one that might be even better, though I haven't tested it:

gs-200

A local Greek outi player uses a home-made stand consisting of two large driftwood branches wedged together by a mortise and tenon joint whittled with a knife. I think he had to scan the beach for days to find pieces with the right geometry. Looks really cool but it's about as portable as an armchair.

Hello,

recently I found a new stand, see pictures below. I Offer that in my shop:

Wow Matthias ! This exactly what I was searching for since so long.
Is it possible to fold/disassemble it easily ?

Yes of course it is foldable as any standart guitar stand.
I will add a picture

52 x 24 x 10 cm

and here are pictures

That's what I use, it's cheap and the oud really stands out in it. the stand is also foldable, so it's great if you're taking your oud for a performance.
