A guitar stand has a base section, a pair of first frames arranged at an opened position or a closed position, a pair of second frames and a pair of third frames arranged at the use position or the folded position. A slider for holding the first frames at the closed position and the second frames at the folded position is mounted to upper ends of the first frames. The first frames, second frames and the third frames are opened at the same time by unlocking the slider, and the guitar stand in a folded state can be brought into a use state.

Stand for musical instrument

A guitar strapincludes an adjusterby which the length of a second belt sectionis adjusted. The adjusterincludes a base, a levermanipulated to adjust the length of the second belt section, and a torsion springurging the leverto pivot in a first direction. The second belt sectionis clamped by the baseand the leverdue to urging force of the torsion spring. The second belt sectionis released from a state clamped by the baseand the leverby pivoting the leverin a second direction, which is different from the first direction, against the urging force of the torsion spring

Strap for musical instrument and method for adjusting length of strap belt

A strap for a guitar has a strap belt and two strap connectors each of which is provided at each end of the strap belt. Each strap connector includes a base plate having a first opening, a second opening, and a slit. The first opening has a diameter greater than a head portion of a connector pin. The second opening has a diameter smaller than a neck portion of the connector pin. The slit connects the first and second openings and has a width smaller than the diameter of a neck portion of the connector pin. In the strap connector, a portion of the base plate adjacent to the slit is bendable.

Strap connector and strap for musical instrument having strap connector

A pedal device including a base and a pedal plate supported by the base in an inclinable manner and depressed by an operator. An urging mechanism urges the pedal plate in a direction opposite to the depression direction of the pedal plate. A force release mechanism releases the pedal plate from an urging force applied by the urging mechanism. A holding mechanism switches the pedal plate between a state in which the pedal plate is held in an operable manner by applying a resistance force resisting operation of the pedal plate and a state in which the resistance force to operation of the pedal plate is released and the urging force of the urging mechanism is effective.
