A conga stand comprises legs with joined-on holding pieces for insertion of a conga; a holding ring, on which the legs are mounted and which has lateral edges; an aperture in each leg for it to be fixed to the holding ring; apertures in the holding ring for the legs to be fixed to the holding ring; and fixing screws, which pass through the apertures of the holding ring and the leg, each fixing screw having a nut for the legs to be fixed to the holding ring. With a view to simple assembly and disassembly of the conga stand accompanied with excellent stableness on the ground and the possibility of use for congas of varying size, it is provided that the apertures of the holding ring are open towards the lateral edges thereof for insertion of the fixing screws from a lateral edge of the holding ring.
