I read previously reviews about the gong stands and decided to go with this one. I'm so glad I did.
I work in different locations and needed a stand that was easy to carry, transport, put together and dismantle. Thankfully this one ticks all the boxes.
I use it with an 82cm gong which fits nicely with a few cm's either side. I was initially worried the gong would be too big for it, it's not. It's a great fit with room to move.
The stand has a lovely look to it, with a thick wooden frame which makes it very stable. Another concern. How stable would it be with an 82cm gong. Its great. Obviously when the gong is in full flow and swinging a little it pushes the stand to its full range with the occasional creak from the hinges connecting the floor panels to the arm panels. It's expected and isn't obvious to anyone else in the room other than me. I originally placed a hand on the top connecting beam to stop this from happening which it does but it is a minimal sound, I was just being over cautious.
Love this stand, very pleased with it and definitely recommend it.
I'd love a travel bag but can understand how difficult that would be with the shape of the parts.
