Mandolin Stand and Neck Support Kit A practical kit designed to help you maintain mandolins more safely and easily. This assembly combines a stable stand, a neck rest, a smooth fret nut, and a support pillow made from preferred ox bone material to protect the instrument and improve the work process. Key benefits Secure and safe: stable stand and neck rest hold the mandolin steady to reduce movement during cleaning, restringing, and repairs. Instrument protection: padded neck rest and ox bone support pillow help prevent scratches and dents while working on the instrument. Comfortable contact points: fret nut produced with refined manufacturing delivers a smooth, comfortable surface that minimizes wear on the neck. Durable and practical: materials and construction are selected for long service life and repeated workshop use. Easy handling: designed to make routine maintenance faster and less error prone, helping technicians and hobbyists work with greater confidence. Features and attributes Function: supports the mandolin neck and body for cleaning, string changes, fret work, nut filing, and setup. Compatibility: suitable for mandolin models and most similar small stringed instruments that require neck support during maintenance. Material: support pillow uses preferred ox bone material for a firm yet gentle contact surface; fret nut surface is finely finished for comfort and reduced friction. Performance: steady hold and protective surfaces reduce risk of accidental damage and improve access to frets and hardware. Use scenarios Restringing and tuning: position the instrument on the stand with the neck rested on the pillow to keep the mandolin stable while replacing strings and tuning. Cleaning and polishing: use the neck rest to lift the instrument slightly, preventing scratches to the body while accessing hard to reach areas for cleaning. Fret and nut work: secure the mandolin on the stand to carry out fret leveling, nut adjustment, or minor repairs with better visibility and less risk to the finish. What to expect A straightforward stand and neck support solution built to protect the instrument, improve working ergonomics, and provide smooth, durable contact surfaces. Suitable for luthiers, shops, and home players who perform routine maintenance and small repairs.
