This is a flute stand I've used for many years. It's made of plastic, so it's lightweight and foldable, making it convenient to carry around. How to fold: Hold the long part and turn it to the right to loosen. Turn it to the left to tighten. It can be used for clarinets, trumpets, and other instruments besides flutes. I bought it about 40 years ago. I've cleaned it thoroughly for this sale. It shows signs of use, so I hope you understand. I'd like to sell it to someone who likes it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details.
