Abstract: A stringed instrument stand is rigidly mounted to a musical instrument and is movable from a stowed position into a deployed position to support the musical instrument in an upright position. The stand includes two legs in a rotating assembly that is attached to the lower end face of the stringed instrument through a supporting plate and into the existing strap button mounting holes that are normally found on the bottom face of stringed instruments. The assembly consists of an axle member, two leg members, and a cap member at the bottom thereof and is rotatable between a stowed and deployed position. In the stowed position, the leg members rotate below the flush surface of the stringed instrument back. In the deployed position, the leg members and cap (or existing strap button) form 3 points of contact to support the stringed instrument. The stand is low profile in relation to the musical instrument and does not interfere with the normal operation of the instrument.
