Let me ask a related question. What is the most compact, smallest stand (excluding desktop stands), weight and strength, not a factor. Thanks.

I have a couple of KMs, the desktop folds, very sturdy (an Arbans would be no problem) and they come with a carry bag. When folded in the bag, it’s about the size of a disassembled pool cue stick. I’ve brought it into gigs where someone thought that’s what it was.

The K&M folding stand is definitely the best stand of its type that I've seen. It looks and folds a bit like other spindly wire stands but it's quite a bit sturdier.

The K&M 101 is very small when folded (only 39cm). It fits in the front pocket of my wife's saxophone case, but it's slightly too big to fit in a ProTec contoured front pocket (it would fit in the front pocket of a regular ProTec case though).

I'd go look, but it's lost somewhere in my basement. It's like the small, sad, messy version of the warehouse in Indiana Jones or Warehouse 13. |
Lat reply but I would love to see some pitures of your basement.  Thanks for the advice though, I wound up buying both the 101 (for my wife who needed a very compact one for her saxophone case) and the 105 for myself (which is slightly sturdier but still fits in my bag easily). |
