Proper Opening and Folding

Opening the hinge first or closing it last creates tension in the wooden parts, which can cause them to break.

• Opening: Unfold the back legs and vertical supports first. 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 left on a stand for a long time while the lacquer is still curing, the contact points may leave marks or indentations in the finish.
