Your standard foldable music stand will almost certainly have been your introduction to the world of music stands. Orchestral and conductor stands are the next stage. These tend to be more robust in construction, have a non-folding desk, and are specifically designed for use by players in an orchestral situation – either in the pits…

Trombone Stands
We think the two offerings by Hercules and K&M are the best ones to choose from. They all offer good stability with rubber feet giving solid grip, and have good height adjustability. Two K&M offerings are the 14985 and the149/9 which is a bit more expensive but more robust in its’ construction. The best-selling 14985…

Trumpet Stands
The lightweight K&M trumpet stand (model number 15213) we think represents a good choice for your trumpet.

Saxophone Stands

Clarinet Stands
Before you buy, it’s worth considering if you just need a single clarinet stand, or are you going to need a stand which holds another instrument, such as a flute, as well. Either way, you will need a stable stand which has a good solid base or a tripod design. Padded pegs for the instrument…

Instrument Stands
As with everything musical, there is a huge range to choose from. I always prefer to stay away from super cheap stands. Your instrument can be worth a lot of money, so why skimp on the stand and risk damage? After all, it’s better to spend a little bit of money on a stand rather…
