Violins and violas are delicate instruments so you want to make sure that they are always stored properly, but sometimes storing them in their violin or viola case can be cumbersome, especially if you are only setting it down for a minute. You may typically set your instrument down on a chair during rehearsal, but this is fraught with risk if someone walks by and knocks your expensive instrument onto the floor. Another alternative is using a violin/viola wall mount or hanger. These convenient devices let you hang your instrument from either the wall or your stand so that it is held securely out of harm’s way. Below we’ll show you the best wall mounts and hangers for violins and violas.

Features You Should Look For in Violin/Viola Wall Mounts and Stands
In order to find the right violin/viola wall mounts and stands, you should look for the following things:
1. Padding on Cradle
You don’t want your instrument to be damaged by lack of padding on the wall mount or stand. We recommend looking for non-marring rubber to provide the best protection.
2. Durability
The worst thing that could happen after you hang your violin or viola is that the stand collapses or the instrument falls off the hanger. To minimize this risk, look for violin/viola wall mounts and stands that are made from durable materials and is designed in a way to minimize falling over.

Moreyes Violin Hanger Wall Mount
The Moreyes violin (or viola) wall mount is a classy way to show off your instrument. The mount part is designed in the shape of a violin so even if the violin or viola isn’t present on the wall, the use of the mount is obvious. It also comes with the bow mount like the String Swing violin wall mount above as well as a violin-shaped keychain as an added bonus.
If you want to use a wall mount that is a bit more stylish than the String Swing mount above, give the Moreyes Violin Hanger Wall Mount a try.
Zither Wooden Violin or Viola Stand
The most elegant violin or viola stand on this list, the Zither Wooden Stand makes a great statement piece for any living room or music room. Show off that you play violin in style.
The stand features the same sturdy cradle by String Swing so you know that it will hold your violin or viola. The base is made from quality Mahongay and cut/assembled in Brenham, Texas so you know it is made with American quality.
Top Stage Guitar Hanger
While originally designed for electric guitars and basses, this hanger by Top Stage also works for violins and violas. If you’re looking for a low-cost way of hanging your violin or viola, this is a great option. The arms in the cradle are flexible enough to hold any size of the instrument and the non-marring rubber coating protects the finish of your violin or viola. We still recommend spending a little bit more for the String Swing wall mount above since it is meant for violins and violas, but if you’re on a budget this wall mount will work.
Vio Music Violin/Viola Stand
If you don’t want to risk your instrument falling from any significant height, the Vio Music stand is for you. It’s elegantly crafted and will fit any full-size violin (no viola, unfortunately) and bow.
String Swing Violin Hanger for Music Stands
If you want to use a violin/viola hanger during rehearsal, String Swing also makes a hanger for music stands (or microphone stands if you’re doing an amped performance with an electric violin). The hanger screws on the bottom or top half of the music stand and will securely hold your violin or viola when not in use during breaks, etc.
