If you have a heavy didgeridoo then this stand works great and offers a wide variety of playing angles both for sitting and standing. I'm a tall guy (2m) and was pleased that the stand can be raised high enough for me to play standing up (note: for this to work it would also depend on the length of your didge and the preferred playing angle).
I only have a few gripes with this stand, hence the 3-star rating for "handling":
- There is a knob that changes the angle from vertical to horizontal, which I often use to change between an upright storage position and angled for playing. This knob is a bit stiff and it can be a bit of work to adjust the angle. However, it's probably good that it's stiff or else the stand wouldn't be as stable.
- The seat-belt fastener that holds the instrument in place is too short. My didge is relatively thick as well, so I'm not sure how thick of an instrument they were hoping to support. I had to cut this strap in order to make anything fit, which ruled out any possibility of a return.
- Conversely, the two hooks at the bottom which hold the base into place need to be bent into shape to support the instrument. Fortunately the metal is soft enough that you can bend it by hand, but it would be nice if this was easily adjustable or if there was just a single (thicker) hook.
Overall, it's a great stand and is extremely stable.
