Large Sabian Gong Stand with Rounded Corners: This is a very large stand designed to hold up to 48" gongs; weighs about 27 lbs. This stand is heavier than the square stand. It is a solid, heavy-duty metal stand with smooth black painted finish. Its feet are short so the stand remains low to the ground. This makes it easy to play while sitting or knelling on the ground. Since it's heavier and bulkier than the square stand it's not the best option for travel. But it has excellent balance and, like the square stand, it can be used indoors or outdoors, on stage or on carpet. This stand is very sturdy; it has excellent balance and is very durable.
