The holder is in two parts. The upper clamp is fixed onto the extension tube of the microphone stand using a clamping screw. The rubber covered support arms hold the guitar safe and secure. The upper clamp can be folded away for transport - the holder only needs to be mounted once. The lower elastic ring, which is attached to the main tube of the microphone stand simply using a Velcro closure, serves as a bearing point and also protects the guitar from damage.
