Abstract: A musical instrument stand is detachably secured to a musical instrument and is movable from a stowed position into a deployed position to support the musical instrument in an upright orientation. The stand includes a low-profile track that is attached to the back of the instrument and an assembly that is configured to removably receive the track to secure the assembly to the musical instrument via the track. The assembly has a base member and a leg member that is pivotally attached to the base member at the tops thereof and is pivotal between the stowed and deployed positions. In the stowed position, the leg member lays against the base member. In the deployed position, the leg member forms together with the base member and instrument an A-frame like support for the instrument. The stand is low profile in relation to the musical instrument and does not interfere with the normal operation of the instrument.
