Abstract
The invention relates to a device for supporting a musical instrument, in particular a percussion instrument such as a marimba, xylophone or vibraphone. The device includes a base and support rails. The base has an adjuster for positioning the musical instrument at a desired height and angle. The rails have pins for the bars to rest upon with no contact of frame. The rails are connected in such a way as to allow additional rails to be joined. The joining of support rails extends the length of rail for additional tone bars. These parts are joined as to create a single unit. The frame can be disassembled and convenient for player to transport.
