Improved endpin stand apparatus for large stringed instruments are provided. The endpin stand apparatus comprises an endpin shaft and/or a hole for receiving an endpin shaft which supports a large stringed instrument, and components to elevate the endpin shaft from the floor on which the endpin stand apparatus rests. The endpin stand apparatus allows for adjustment of the height of the apparatus and thus of the stringed instrument, and may allow of adjustment of the angle of the instrument relative to the axis defined by the apparatus. The endpin stand apparatus allows a user, the musician, to stand while playing the instrument, and allows the user to move both forward and back and side-to-side through a range of motion. The adjustable endpin stand apparatus height and angle allow for a range of instrument locations and angles, and increased range of motion by the musician while playing the instrument.
