1. Unfold the Stand: Gently pull the two main A-frame sections apart until the stand forms a stable A-shape.

3. Adjust Feet (Optional): The rubber sleeves on the feet are rotatable. If placing the stand on an uneven surface, rotate the feet to achieve optimal balance and stability.

Operating Instructions

2. Ensure Neck Support: The back of the instrument's body should lean against the rubberized back support of the A-frame.
