I’m looking for a stable guitar floor stand that will protect the instrument from falling over if bumped, ran into, etc. When I play at church we’re in pretty tight spaces and using my case to store the instrument takes up a lot of room.
Anybody have recommendations for a stable guitar stand? Thanks!
I’m pretty happy with my On-Stage XCG4 Black Tripod Guitar Stand
But then I try not to bump and run into it or push it over.
I’ve not seen any stand that will protect an instrument from falling over. Only people taking a sensible amount of care can prevent that.
I agree with Dave, that kind of stand is the best bet for banjos. At our church, we have a triple hanging stand.
It works great, but not for banjos.
I only use this one for banjo or put it in the case:
Always used Hamilton for guitar. Not 100% fall-over-proof but best I’ve tried:
The Hercules stands are pretty stable. I have never seen one knocked over (knock on wood). That said, if it is tight on the stage, that can be nerve wracking. I’d ask if I could put a hanger on the wall.
I especially get nervous when my guitar/banjo/mandolin/bass is on a floor stand on the edge of the stage. 
I’ve found something like this to be really sturdy if you’re swapping instruments.
I love the wood Cooperstand I got from Banjo Ben. It’s really incredible to be able to open my case and have the stand already inside of it… The one I had before was similar to the on-stage stand thing, and it was fine but I had to carry it separately. The CS works great for my Dobro and Banjo.
I have a CooperStand as well. I used to have a few, but the rest got gifted. They are great and very portable.
I almost went for a CooperStand, but didn’t like that they don’t have neck supports. Have you guys experienced any stability issues?
Nope, no stability issues whatsoever. Will it survive a tipping motion as well as one that locks at the neck? No, I don’t think it would. However, I never like to leave (long term) guitars on any stand. Hanging up on a wall or in a case is a “safe” spot. Stands are for temporary use in my way of thinking.
Mark, I have exactly that! Super happy with it too. I keep it in our music room, but due to the size, I don’t take it to gigs unless it’s a big gig. It is very stable though…for sure.
No, they are actually remarkably stable. My sister has the plastic one, which is built to be flexible. It works well too, but I prefer the non-flexible wood one.
@Mark_Rocka, that looks like bike rack! 
I aspire to one day be able to fill one of these up…it does look like a killer stand, though.
