Proper Use of the Cooperstand
Opening the hinge first or closing it last creates tension in the wooden parts, which can cause them to break.
- Opening: First unfold the back legs and vertical supports. Open the hinge last.
- Folding: Close the hinge first. Then fold in the vertical supports and back legs.
Instruments with Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finishes
The Cooperstand is compatible with nitrocellulose lacquer finishes. However, depending on environmental conditions, this lacquer can take approximately one year to cure fully and may remain semi-soft for an extended period. If a new instrument is displayed on a stand for a long time, the contact surfaces may leave marks or indentations in the finish. This can occur with any type of stand, regardless of manufacturer.
