Also seems to be a good stand, but...

EDIT: One year later, additional comments added to end.
I've had this stand for two months now. It definitely feels solid and well constructed. The legs and bell support lock in such a way that they would never just collapse. It is very small when folded up, and feels lighter then my old Hamilton when you hold each in a hand. And yet, it feels way more sturdy stable then the Hamilton. I bought this after purchasing a Hercules Bari stand that I liked a lot (reviewed at [...])

I have one major concern about the stand, though. When you place the horn on the stand, the main support that holds the horn has about an inch of forward and backward play in it. That makes me really nervous. Especially when you have people on a gig that have no appreciation for the delicateness of a 40 year old saxophone.

I tried contacting the Hercules company through the contact form on their website to ask them if this was the intended design. I have received no response. None. Zero. Zilch. That's very poor customer service and makes me wonder if there is actually any presence in the U.S. other then sales. The contact form seems more interested in collecting your info then facilitating communication with the company.

I have since spoken with 2 other owners of the same stand and it looks like they all have this. What would be an otherwise perfect sax stand gets dropped to 4 stars for that instability, and dropped again to 3 stars for the lack of company response.

EDIT: July 10, 2010. Well, it's a year later and I am still using this stand. It has held up great and is still as good as new after being used on gigs 2-4 nights a week. I never heard back from their customer service, but there is still play in the the stand and I feel that my review is still accurate. But the stand is well built and I haven't had any tip-overs. It's really a shame that such a good stand has one glaring problem to it. It's rather enigmatic. I would probably buy another one if this one walked away after a gig ;-)

Horns safe on stage

Just recently purchased the stand , and found that even though it folds up to a nice small enough size to fit my bag, the safety features are great.

The attachments for flute and soprano are very convenient also.

When it is opened for use, every part that can moves or snaps into a safe place, and have to be intended to be released.

I have a 40s" silver "big B" alto in pristine condition, and wanted a stand that was strong, and really keeps a hold on my horn.

After using this stand for a week, I ordered, and received another on for my black and silver tenor saxophone.

They are well designed, very strong, and good looking stands.

Keep your eye on them, they have a tendency to walk away after a gig.

Darn drummer.............. Stick holder???????
