Here is a stand offered by Rondo for their lapsteels. Not sure if these would work for other guitars or not. I'd like to find one for my Ricky Silver Hawiian, but not sure if this would work or not.

the $40 folding X shaped keyboard stands work well and you can fit a couple laps on em at a time. i used one with a lap and small keyboard at the same time, that was great...
There was a forum member making very elaborate and super nice lap steel stands. They were not cheap but were of the finest quality. unfortunately I cannot remember who that was...anyone? |

| I have had success modifying snare drum stands like so, take the tops and cobb them onto a tall, stable drum stand bottom, reverse the odd arm[3rd] and bend the arms to fit. A thick rubber band for tension/grip of rear arms completes yer rube goldberg/polish lap steel stand, height adjustable. Music store drum parts bins provide a variety of possibilities. You wouldn't want to do choreography while playing but they work fine at home. |

No hard feelings meant... but most are junk. I was told this by other members before I bought the Morrell. Problem is there isn't a big selection out there. It's to unstable to trust with my EH-150. Here's a link to a discussion on a quality lap steel stand. It has the features and quality I think one could trust to hold and protect the instrument. I guess you get what you pay for.

Or you could just go to one of your neighborhood thrift stores and get an old "walker" like the old folks use. They make great lapsteel stands. Get the one which has four legs & no wheels. I only paid two bucks for mine. The flat handles on the top have rubber grips on them which really keep the steel from sliding and if you want to change guitars just pick one up and set another one on.....Here's a shot of it with my old National D-8 on it....JH in Va.

Jerry, that's the best idea I've seen in while, and given our aging demographic, it could serve double duty between sets.  (I'm sure you've heard 'em all by now, sorry)
