My 7 year old plays a 1/2 sized cello, and he's constantly taking it out of the soft case and practicing during the day (about 4-6 times per day). My wife says the teacher has a stand for hers, basically an opened top box that's lined with padding, and a notch in front for the bridge and tailpiece. I did a quick Google search and found a few, but if anyone has made one and has drawings that would save me from re-inventing the wheel.

I figure I can turn the side keepers and use pipe insulation to cushion them, and the use a tapered wooden wedge key to hold the box front against the larger diameter of the keeper shafts, and have an even larger head on the back side. I researched and found that 1/2 size cellos are 15 wide x about 5 deep (I'll verify that against my son's rental instrument later. If I plan ahead I can make the sizes of this stand adjustable to accommodate the 3/4 & full size later down the road.

No experience with the cello or making a stand but I'm guessing these things run big $$ and if it tips over repairs cost money too...
Do they make metal stands like for guitars like when they are staged, it would seem like a must have item for a band setting, practice area.

The one in the picture is about $360 made of cherry. Cheapest was $160, all of course, don't include shipping. I think I could be a bit less expensive to build myself.
Consider a better stand though. Stands like that tend to bust up instruments. The daily battering of dragging the instrument across the lip ruins the finish and damages the wood. I've seen more than one that was snapped or crushed when pulled out at an angle, or dropped to the ground once lifted all the way out.

There is a good reason stands like that are rarely ever used, and the lean in cradle types are far more common.
