This is my first excursion into idiophone percussion, and this stand cost half the price of my cheap handpan.
My main concern was what width this stand can take in it's basket arms.
THE ARMS CAN EXTEND UPTO 26", so could easily accommodate my 22" diameter handpan.
With no instructions included, it took less than an hour to figure out how it was put together, (5 - 10 minutes), and then to balance the pan at a working angle that works for sitting down and standing up, all within the height variations available.
Be aware that while in a seated position, with legs and arms of the stand at 120° the various tightening nuts can dig into your thighs, which is better than the other option of sitting into your groin!
Overall, one day after delivery, still doing minor adjustments and tightening nuts, the stability seems very good.
I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others.
