Meinl TMDDGS Didgeridoo Stand

The concept is great, and I awaited this item eagerly.
My expectations, being able to:
A. Play handless, of course.
+
B. Play standing upright.

I rated the item 4 on quality as it is quite well-constructed, as I would expect from Meinl. One serious flaw, though - the item's four feet/pads do not all rest on the floor. Fortunately, I usually play and therefore place my stand on a rug, so this construction/design flaw isn't really a biggie for me, but if I were to play on the floor, this thing would probably rock - in a bad way..)

Objective A was accomplished. The stand is resistant enough to sliding and rocking so you can usually get a good seal without the support of your own helping hand. That said, that helping hand does come in handy and produce some extra stability and seal.

Objective B - only partially accomplished. I am 185cm tall, with quite upright posture. I really expected this to accommodate my pretty unremarkable height. Unfortunately, I have to either blow with knees slightly bent to maintain an upright torso - or slouch into the instrument.
Both workable solutions, and appropriate to different playing modes - but I would still much prefer to have the item just extend more and enable a fully upright position, with didge at 30 degrees or so, rather than 75 and up - which is not great for air/energy flow.


Bottom line

I still recommend this, because it does answer both objectives. Could have been executed better - with more stability, and mainly extensibility and height. If there was an alternative item, I'd def examine it.

Plus note that if you're blowing through a heavy instrument, this will take all that weight off your hands, if that is a consideration for you.

Bon produit dans l'ensemble mais j'ai pu constater quelques petits problèmes mineur.
Pour commencer les didg avec un diamètre trop gros ne rentre pas au niveau du Y et il n'y a pas de possibilité de réglage à ce niveau là.
Deuxième petit point c'est le pied qui ne s'écarte vraiment pas beaucoup de mon point de vue et qui pourrait compromettre l'équilibre de l'installation avec un didg lourd.
Dernier petit point c'est que je trouve dommage que l'axe ne soit pas rotatif ce qui pourrait permettre au musicien de ce déplacer en jouant.
Mise à part c'est 3 petits points c'est un très bon outil.
