we have earthquaes where i live, would this still hold it during the esrthquake?

Nobody could tell you, unless one had a chance to test it during an earthquake :) The wall screw size is ~№10-14, as I remember.

I didn't have these when we had our last earthquake a few years ago but I'd say your instrument would be safe even during a high magnitude quake. However, I would advise to either pad the wall or back of your instrument (I leave the shoulder rest on my violin and viola) as the Hanger holds your instrument out about an inch from the wall. Swinging during an a quake could be damaging.

I can give no guarnatees but I think this would hold your violin in place. You can bend the two "arms" to give you a tighter fit and you can angle them up to hold the instrument in place. The other great thing about this device is you can screw in the guitar holder (if you wish to hold a guitar instead of a violin) without having to mount a new device. I really like mine and it is much easier than taking it out of the case everytime I practice.

Basically the water creates suction with the water in the base and holds the stone. Along with the ridge on the base you wont be losing the stone any time soon. Even if you didn't have the base the friction from the stone on most surfaces will keep it stationary.

Mine has been up for a few years now and not a single problem of not holding or even moving. I use it regularly and LOVE it.

The unit is heavy. I agree with the other responses that it would be probably unsafe to hold and use.

It will hold a shape. It would probably stand on its own but it will need supported. It is made out of wire.

Yes it is but don't put anything in the least bit heavy on it. It will collapse as both of mine did.

I would contact the company (Roslen) directly and ask. They have always been extremely helpful when I've had a question. I live in San Diego, so I cannot speak to how the unit holds up in extreme environments.

Jeff, if I was planning on aging a earthquake, I'd might think of strapping it to the wall. Other than an earthquake, I find the bike stacker to be very stable. Mine has been in my garage with two adult bikes stored on it for about two years, and I couldn't be happier.

I never move it but this morning I did to answer your question. Yes it stayed the same weight after moving it two feet.

It does - with some clever assembly. I mounted it on the wide-angle reflector with the umbrella mount on top. It's not earthquake save, but it will hold if you're careful. A better fit would be a slightly larger reflector with a less wide angle, but yeah, it does work.

My best answer is "maybe." because of too many unknowns. This is very strong stuff; so, if the texture is minimal and it can get a substantial percentage of its normal purchase, then it should hold (though not at its maximum strength rating) - assuming, of course, that the sheet rock underneath is sturdy enough to bear the weight. Best bet is to test it. It is very stong, but I wouldn't hang my mother-in-law on it.

No. it does not stand this way. I will fall over because there is no way to secure it in that position.

I put mine on the back of a travel trailer to hold a generator. It is level with the ground. No problems so far .

I don't know about that. Mine is on the ground. I built a decorative brick retaining wall around it.

Oops; after actually measuring and reviewing the other answers, it appears it should hold it without any modifications, sorry.

We bought this a couple years ago, and while it appears hollow by sound, it does have a bottom on it, and a spike to stick in the earth to hold it steady. Even if it is hollow, it is very THICK, and does have a bottom to it. Leah

NO. It is a windup type in case there is no electricity and no internet. Very well equipped package and well organized. It is designed for a catastrophic event and will last 4-7 days. If you have been through an earthquake that leaves your water and electricity out for 4-7 days, as I have, this is the best deal. I would suggest adding any medications or pet food as well as cash to the canvas bag as I know, these items are hard to come by. Keep your gas tank above half as the stations will not have electricity to pump gas. As we all know, it's not whether an earthquake will happen we are due. NO.
