Abstract: A stand (2; 18; 31) for a stringed instrument (1) is adapted to be placed in either a playing position for playing music or a parking position in which the instrument (1) is placed on the ground with the head (3) uppermost and the body (5) lowermost. The stand (2; 18; 31) has a foot member (6; 6?; 32) for supporting the instrument (1) in the parking position, an upper connector (7; 7?) placed on the lower end face (8) of the instrument body (5), and a lower connector (9; 19, 20; 36) arranged on the foot member (6; 6?; 32) whereby the connectors are arranged for permanent or temporary interconnection. The stand is placed beneath the lower end face (8) of the body (5) of the stringed instrument (1) and within the borders of the end face (8) for providing a nice appearance of the parked stringed instrument (1).
