(ok, I screwed up a bit on the radio tower thing...there are three wind angles that are bad, and 4 with a 4 cable stay system)

I like three leg things too Mike .Because most surfaces aren't truly flat and level, four legs usually have a wobble .
Three leg things never do !

[QUOTE=crazymanmichael] colin, for a variety of reasons i couldn't agree with you more about the unsuitability of stands as anything other than very temporary, short term instrument storage, e.g., during a lesson, performance, etc.

but there can be risks invilved in their use even during a performance. some years ago had a friend who was performing at a festival. put her martin on the stand to switch to the banjo for the next tune. whilst singing that song a gust of wind blew the martin not only off the stand but clear off the stage. the result was a broken neck.

lesson: when performing outdoors keep the case nearby and lay them in the case between sets, tunes, etc.[/QUOTE]

An even better lesson: when playing outdoors (or indoors for that matter) don't play the banjo.
