A populary ukulele accessory is a flat stand, which is suitable for a desk, table, or shelf. These are very simple cradle-like objects which hold your ukulele upright on a flat surface. They are normally made of metal or wood. Because the structure is so simple, some people even like to build their own. If you are looking to make an art piece out of the ukulele, this is the best choice. The downside to this type of stand is that it takes up space on your surface.
