Improvements in an expandable musical instrument stand where the
components of the stand are constructed with tubular sections. The
tubular section telescope with an extension mechanism placed between the
tubular members to assist in adjusting the playing height of the musical
instrument. The expandable construction allows the musical stand to be
broken down into smaller sections to make it easier to transport and
simple to erect. The expandable section is ideally used with the center
tube with a three or four leg stand where the legs can be collapsible on
the center tube or the legs can be constructed with the same or similar
construction as the center tube where they can be stacked and clamped
with a collar.
