Warbird, yes you missed something. it was a disturbing comment by a new user with a disturbing user name. be glad.
Back to stands. I bought a K&M when they first came out and they were practically flat to the ground, with poor stability. the center is higher now but they still work best inside on a flat surface. the Hamilton trombone stand is a good for a flugel. I don't like to lug it around though. I use a K&M clarinet stand for pic.

Re: Pair of Kings
Good point about trombone stand.
I carry my stuff in a motorcycle so I'll probably go with a Hamilton trumpet stand again.
I already lost my Olds Mendez on the freeway, so I carry a pocket trumpet to rehearsals now.
Or safety wire my gig bag into my backpack.

got a cool old trombone stand that came with one of the ones I bought. It doesn't have a brand name but it works pretty well, it almost loks homemade.

One note about the Hamiltons - if you've had 'em for awhile, check periodically to make sure the rubber tip on the end is secure. I have had mine for 20+ years and didn't realize that the tip had become loose until I was at a Wizard of Oz rehearsal a few weeks ago and discovered towards the beginning of the rehearsal that the tip had lodged itself deep in the bell  !
I didn't have anything on site to try to get it out, so I pulled out my C and transposed for the rest of the rehearsal (this is known as reason to learn transposition #34-A  ).
When I got home, I first tried to use a hand drill to get a grip on the tip and pull it out, but instead the top part of the tip broke off. Another thing I had not realized is that the rubber had gotten pretty brittle over time. At this point I went high-tech and gently inserted a bent coat hanger in past the remaining part of the tip and fished it out with very minimal damage except to my nerves  .
I have liked the Hamiltons for many years, but the next day I bought a couple K & Ms and retired the Hamiltons. We'll see how it goes.
regards, Mike |
