              said caster wheels secured to said bottom surface of said             
         base plate, extending from said base plate in spaced apart                 
         relationship to each other;                                                
              said end structures being secured to said base plate, one             
         near each end thereof and projecting from said top surface of              
         said base plate in divergent relationship to each other;                   
              each of said end structures having a first portion secured            
         at one end to said base plate and a bail pivotally secured at its          
         open end to said first portion at the other end of said first              
         portion;                                                                   
              each of said bails comprising two substantially parallel              
         bail legs, each of said bail legs having upper and lower bail leg          
         ends, said upper bail leg ends of each of said bails being                 
         connected by a tubular padded connecting rod;                              
              each of said first portions comprising two substantially              
         parallel standards, each of said standards having upper and lower          
         standard ends, said upper standard ends being pivotally and                
         adjustably secured to said lower bail leg ends by means of a bolt          
         having a tubular pad disposed thereon;                                     
              each of said lower standard ends having a foot portion                
         substantially perpendicular thereto, each said foot portion                
         having an aperture disposed therethrough for receiving a screw             
         for connecting to said base plate, each of said standard ends              
         being positionable along each said channel, wherein said channel           
         is dimensioned to receive said screw for adjustably mounting said          
         standard along the length of said channel at selective positions           
         so that said standards are arranged immediately adjacent to the            
         sides of a bass or viol securing the bass or viol to said cart;            
         and,                                                                       
              a compression spring mounted on said base plate at the                
         center of said top surface of said base plate, and a socket                
         carried by said spring in spaced relationship to said base plate,          
         said socket being adapted to receive the bottom end boss of a              
         bass viol, said bails being adapted to hook into the bow recesses          
         thereof.
