Trumpet Stand

AeroStud1026 · Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2004 2:29 pm Post subject: Trumpet Stand

Hey guys, I was looking for a Hamilton trumpet stand but everyone is sold out. So I was browsing ebay just out of curiosity and I found this one. With this there are about 4 other auctions going on for this type of item.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3767303402&category=41398&sspagename=rvi:1:3

It looks like it would do the job, but I think I still may want a Hamilton. What do you guys think?

Well as a last resort try contacting International Woodwind and Brass
Last time I went there, they had Hamilton stands in stock.

those are nice stands. I like em a lot. I have the hamilton metal, but the one there might be nicer since it is lighter, and the spring is cool too.

I have one (1) Hamilton and two (2) of those type (mine is called a "Bellmonte"). The Hamilton might, ever so slightly, be harder to tip over than the other style. On my Bellmonte, you can lower the plunger down far enough to use it as a Flugelhorn stand, too. I also push the plunger way up and use it to put my pocket trumpet on, too. They're real versatile.

Hamilton is much better. More solid.

I've got one of these, great item! I also have a small one that fits into the bell by K&M, and i reccomend you don't buy one of those, unless you get a 5 legged one. My three leggged one is very unstable and there's a few dents in my trumpet to show of it!

I have Profile, Hamilton and Dixon(that looks like the one pictured) stands that my horns are on at home. The Profile I would never take on a gig, way to tippy. The Hamilton I use sometimes when I need mutiple stands and the Dixon although it seems solid, I still do not trust it.

I also have a K&M 3 legs that I do use because it is low to the ground. Like that really helps.

I'm going to get the K&M five legs because they are much safer for the horns.

I also never leave any of my horns unattended on a stand. I also cover them with micro-fiber cloths.

FWIW...to my knowledge Dave Stahl never played with Maynard's band. However, he DID play with both the Woody Herman and Count Basie bands.

Speaking about studios,,I have to let go on mine and let my youngest son have to move in. So all my equipment went to storage or the top of the closet and I have my doublers bag in the master bedroom since I use it a lot.

I vote for the Hamiltons. I've had mine since the early 1970's and they are going strong. I have a trumpet on a trumpet stand and my flugel on a bone stand. They've stood the test of extensive touring. While bulky to carry, I believe they're worth it.

i dont like the hamiltons or anything that stands more than 2 millimeters off the ground, makes me nervous. I use a k&g with 5 feet. it fits in the bell and never tips over. very well priced too

I have that stand pictured in the eBay link. It is manufactured by Bellmonte. It's a really good stand in my opinion, and I can fit it in my trumpet case, along with my straight mute, cloth, valve oil, and slide grease, so that is a great feature for me.

I have a K&M 3 Leg Stand. I don't think 3 legs and 5 legs matter that much unless the environment is a DISASTER. I love it because it perfectly fits the bell, reduces size and is able to be carries inside the bell, and it is light and durable. But if you use it a lot, your trumpet will start to smell like fungi.
