Aida TB98 Trombone Stand
|
Definitely the Rolls Royce of trombone stands, this rare
stand is the lightest, most compact, and most intricately
machined of its type on the market. This is the perfect
stand for those who travel and require extreme portability.
Definitely not cheap, it's the nicest stand we've ever seen.
May be a bit light for bass trombones. Weight = 782 g, 1.7
lbs., folded height 47 cm, 18.5"

K&M 14990 Heavy Duty Trombone Stand,
Nickel
|
This is our favorite trombone stand, and is similar to
the UMI trombone stand, which is also made by K&M. This
one is nickel plated and is much less money because we get
them direct from the importer. This is a very stable stand
and folds to a relatively small size, though it's a bit
heavier than some others. This is the only stand we use for
bass trombone. Replacement parts are available for all
K&M stands through Gorg International. Weight = 3.4
pounds

K&M 14985 Trombone Stand, Black
|
A lighter stand good for tenor trombones. The plastic
center part allows a little flex, but several of our
colleagues love these for their small bore tenor trombones.
This is a better stand than the Hamilton, but is light and
folds compactly. Weight = 2.6 pounds

K&M 14910 Bass Trombone Stand |
A sturdy stand with tubular steel legs, a stout center post, and a
molded plastic cone to support your instrument. Also fits
larger tenor trombones. Very stable, but heavy, so it may
weight down your mute bag. This one may be best for use at
home. |

K&M 15270 In-Bell Trombone Stand
|
An ingenious stand that stores right inside your horn,
making it very convenient for travel. It's not the most
stable, so just use it for your small bore tenor trombone.
And don't step on the legs, or they can bend. Easy to put
together, well made in Germany. Weight = 2.6 pounds

Manhassett Stand-In Trombone Stand
|
This was formerly marketed under the Allsop brand name.
It's the lightest stand of the bunch, and also assembles
easily, though you must install each of the three legs after
removing them from inside the center post. Use this only for
your small bore tenor trombone and be careful to push the
legs all the way to avoid spontaneous disassembly. Great for
travel.
Sadly, this stand is discontinued. |

Hamilton KB510 Trombone Stand
|
This is the standard in the industry. These are light and
cheap, but don't step on the legs, or they can bend. New
models do not come apart into two pieces like the old ones,
making them less compact for travel. Replacement knobs,
tops, and horn support pads are available from Hamilton. I
use these for alto or small tenor trombones, but larger
trombones lean enough that I have become afraid. Most of my
colleagues use these though. Charlie Morillas was using a
beat-up Hamilton stand long after it should have died, and
it was so frighteningly wobbly that I took it away and gave
him a new stand, just to avoid hearing the "my horn fell
over" story. Do not fear. These are good basic equipment,
made in USA.

Hercules In-Bell Trombone Stand |
Sturdy and inexpensive 4-leg in-bell stand. Weighted base, may
make your case feel off balance. Air it out on occasion to
avoid rust, so say several users. A quality product, much more
stable than the Manhasset. |

Hercules Trombone Stand |
This unusual stand hold your trombone by the hand grips, so you can
leave a mute in the bell, or leave a clip on mic on the bell without
worry of it bumping off. Very sturdy, good for lighter horns, up to
large tenor w/F attachment. |

Hornguys Contrabass Trombone Stand |
A sturdy stand for F contrabass trombones, made from a heavy duty
nickel plated Pacific cymbal stand, an industrial plunger, and some
ingenuity. Will not tip over. This stand is included
with the Kanstul contrabass trombone. May be too tall for the
Miraphone BBb contrabass. |
