This is a handmade violin stand. It has a unique shape, which came about when I wondered if I could repurpose a mochi-pounding pestle that I had stored in the barn. I made it in about 2-3 hours from a whim, so the design is a bit rough. I think it's something from decades ago, so it has its share of dirt and scratches. The stability is usually not a problem, but in the event of an earthquake, it could fall over and the violin could come off, so it's recommended for temporary use during practice, etc. There's plenty of room for improvement in the design, so if you like DIY or handmade crafts, you could make it even more stylish and enjoy it. The violin, bow, and jig shown in the photos are not included. The red cushion is included. It may be disassembled for shipping to make it more compact, so please purchase it only if you are okay with it being disassembled.
