Review: Stagg WIS-A45 Foldable Stand for Flute

Not many people know this but when I was younger I was a very proficient flute player, reaching grade 7 before going to University. Unfortunately I lost the love a bit for my instrument after this but have recently started playing again and am enjoying playing with a local wind band.

I have a number of different woodwind instruments, mainly flutes and a piccolo and when playing in a band it’s really fun to change between instruments to add something different to a piece of music. An example being the band recently tried playing the Hornpipe which is perfect for the piccolo.

Of course changing instruments whilst sitting in the band formation can be tricky as you don’t want to drop one of the instruments and you don’t really want to have them rolling around on the floor so I decided to purchase a simple flute stand which can hold one instrument while I am playing another.

I went for the Stagg WIS-A45 Foldable Stand for Flute which has been designed to be portable at 320g and its rubber feet make it stable allowing it to be moved around conveniently but still hold the flute safely when not in use. The tripod style feet splay out nicely to keep the flute upright and fold down when not in use. 

I have found the Stagg foldable flute stand really easy to use. It comes in two pieces which simply screw together to form the tripod stand shape. The rubber feet really keep the stand in one place and I have no worries placing my valuable instruments on the stand when not in use. I like the look and feel of the stand with the matt black finish being attractive.

I would happily recommend this flute stand to anyone looking to travel and use multiple woodwind instruments like I do at band and award it 5 out of 5 stars.
