Gibraltar PERCUSSION STANDS BONGO STAND 6716

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Designed to meet the demands of percussionists, the Support Percussion 6716 positions itself as a robust and heavy-duty bongo stand. Its "pro hardware" approach emphasizes stability, repeatability of settings, and compatibility-essential points when alternating between rehearsals, concerts, and recording sessions.

Who This Drum/Bongo Stand Is For

This stand is aimed at intermediate to advanced percussionists seeking a reliable setup for bongos in real-world situations: frequent rehearsals, live performances, orchestras, Latin, salsa, Afro-Cuban, variety, or contemporary music. It is also well suited for music schools and studios that need a stable, easy-to-adjust stand capable of withstanding frequent handling.

Features and Innovations

The 6716 combines a double-base tripod with a field-oriented adjustment system. The memory lock secures your height setting and speeds up assembly, minimizing adjustments at each setup. The tilt allows the bongos to be oriented toward the hands, improving ergonomics and reducing fatigue, especially during long performances. The adjustable clamp broadens compatibility with different bongo sizes and constructions while firmly holding the instrument to preserve striking precision.

Sound

A stand does not add "sound" in the musical sense, but it directly influences the perceived result. A stable and heavy base limits micro-movements and unwanted vibrations: you gain in control and attack consistency, especially on open hits and fast rolls. The tilt helps position the drumheads in the playing axis, promoting cleaner execution and more even dynamics.
