I love Musiciansfriend its the best, but I purchased two of these & that was a mistake. They are very cheaply made & not worth the premium price you pay! I use the stands for micing my snare drum & floor tom. These stands will not tighten anywhere! Every adjustment on it strips out very easily, and there is no way to tighten the legs! You can buy much better quality low level mic stands for less money. I was very dissapointed, I do not recommend the Ultimate MC-41T Low Level Combo Mic stand to anyone!
