Abstract: A device for carrying elongated, irregularly-shaped objects, such as musical instrument stands, has an elongated main brace with straps, or other means, at either end, for wrapping around and securing the elongated, irregularly-shaped objects to the main brace. An adjustable handle is centrally located and moveable along the main brace to balance the load. Variable extension rods may be provided on either end of the main brace to extend its length and capacity as needed. The straps would be positioned at either end of the main brace, or the extension rods, and between them as needed. A flexible material may extend the length of the main brace to replace the straps, and wrap around, hold, secure, and protect the musical instrument stands.
