MEINL Steely II Quinto Stand Black

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A black steel stand built to hold a quinto upright at playing height. Buy it if you play a quinto seated or standing and want the drum off the floor.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Standing players who need the quinto at waist height
  • Stage setups where the drum must stay put between songs
  • Rehearsal rooms where drums get moved and reset often

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting the traditional seated, knee-held quinto position
  • Anyone needing one stand to fit conga and tumba diameters too
  • Setups needing a fully collapsible stand for tight travel cases

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Sized for quinto

Quinto is the smallest of the conga family. A stand cut for it will be loose or wrong under a wider conga.

Detail 02

Steel construction

Weight is the trade for stability. It resists walking across the floor when you dig into the drum.

Detail 03

Black finish

Disappears on a dark stage and hides scuffs from repeated setup and teardown better than chrome.

Detail 04

Stand, not a mount

Free-standing on the floor. Nothing clamps to a rack or another drum's hardware.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your quinto's bottom diameter before ordering; conga-width drums will not seat correctly
  2. 02Drum sold separately; this is hardware only
  3. 03Check floor space, since a tripod-style base spreads wider than the drum itself

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my conga?

It is built for a quinto, the narrowest drum in the conga family. A wider conga or tumba will not sit securely.

02Does a drum come with it?

No. This is the stand alone. The quinto is purchased separately.

03Can I play standing up with this?

Yes. Raising the drum off the floor is the main reason to use a stand, so you can play standing rather than seated.

04Is it stable enough for hard playing?

It is steel-built for floor stability. As with any stand, check that the drum is fully seated before a set.
