The invention relates to a bracket and, in particular, a wall bracket for a musical instrument (1), particularly for a stringed instrument. To this end, the bracket has an adjustable base (4) for receiving an instrument body (1a) and at least two retaining arms (5), which are able to pivot relative to an anchor element (3), for detachably securing an instrument neck (1b) received between the retaining arms (5). The base (4) and the two retaining arms (5) are coupled to each other by at least one connecting member (6). Furthermore, at least one spring (7) is provided which prestresses the base (4) into a rest position and the two retaining arms (5) into an open position. According to the invention, the connecting member (6) is designed as a connecting rod (6) rigidly coupling the base (4) to the two retaining arms (5) and prestressed by the spring (7).
