A holder for a musical instrument having a body and a neck has an anchor element, a cradle adapted to receive and support the body of the instrument and movable on the anchor element between a lower working position and an upper rest position, and a pair of arms pivotal on the anchor element between a closed position engaging around and securing the neck of the instrument supported on the cradle and an open position not surrounding the neck. Aa cable contained in the anchor element is connected between the arms and the cradle for moving the arms into the closed position on movement of the cradle into the lower position. A spring connected to the arms, cable, and/or cradle urges the cradle into the upper position and the arms into the open position so that setting the instrument body on the cradle moves same into the lower position and causes the arms to engage around the neck of the instrument.
