Very good, but not outright excellent stand. Perhaps a bit overpriced for the quality.

The sapele version of the Cooperstand Pro-Tandem is one of the most gorgeous instrument stands I have ever seen. Unfortunately, its other aspects range from good to merely so-so. The construction quality is not perfect. The folding mechanism feels a bit finicky, and the movement of the folding feels intangibly cheap - not the impression I expected to get from a stand of this price… read more range. It made me concerned that it may not hold up to repeated use. If you plan on keeping the stand in one place, this is not at all a concern. But if you plan on using its excellent portability, it is a potential factor to be aware of, prior to purchasing. The portability, overall, is wonderful. However, if you plan on bringing it to any rehearsal or other practice environments in a gigbag, you may wish to measure your gigbag's pockets first, as the stand is longer than you may be envisioning. The biggest flaw in my viewpoint is the grip material lining. Some of it consists of a hard, yet smooth rubberized material, which both cushions your instrument and protects the beautiful wood of the stand. However, other parts of the lining is a softer foam material, which I discovered ripped at the slightest provocation, within mere days of obtaining the item. I have depicted this in my first image. If ever a Pro-Tandem 2.0 is released, the material should be updated to all be harder rubber, rather than the flimsy foam. The last concern has to do with the form of the stand. This stand is really quite low to the ground. Some guitars with more rounded body bottoms can actually hit the floor through the middle of the stand. If you have a more flattened body bottom, such as the strat shape I have depicted in my image, you'll be fine. However, a friend's instrument with a very round 7/8 size LP-style body was found to scrape against the floor - and that's not evening getting into less-traditional body shapes. That having been said, if you have a sense of humor, you can technically get a Strandberg to fit there, if you angle it right, and aren't worried about bumping into it. This silly setup is depicted in my second image. If this retailed for $60 or it lacked design limitations which I outlined, I'd say that everyone with more than one guitar should treat themselves to go out and buy this lovely-looking artpiece in a heartbeat. Otherwise, consider your needs and determine if this is the right product for you.
