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. Weight = 3.4 pounds
This stand will be discontinued by K&M. They're changing the finish from nickel to black powder coat, probably to take advantage of the cleaner process of powder coating. While I dislikie searching for a black stand in a dark orchestra pit, it's just the way of the world. We have several dozen available, with access to more if you prefer nickel.
14990 $50
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. Only recommended for bass trombones if you're careful. Weight = 2.6 pounds 14985 $38

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 weigh down your mute bag.  This one may be best for use at home. 14910 $110
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, formerly made in USA, now made in China. This stand has been discontinued by Hamilton, but should be avilable for some time. KB510 $25

 

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. DS420B $42

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 microphone on the bell without worry of it bumping off. Very sturdy, good for lighter horns, up to large tenor w/F attachment. DS520B $35

The Horn Guys Contrabass Trombone Stand

A sturdy stand for F contrabass trombones, made from a heavy duty nickel plated cymbal stand, an industrial plunger, and some ingenuity.  Will not tip over. (Well, not without help.) May be too tall for the Miraphone BBb contrabass. . $60
