Holds Up My French Horn

I'm not sure what "No T" experienced with this stand; maybe his/her horn is unusual. My old King double horn sits in the stand just fine, and in fact the upright does not fit into any crooks at all; instead, the main tuning slide rests against it. It's important to note that the little arms at the bottom have to be swung out from the "feet" - once that's done, the horn sits in there and there's nothing at all tricky about it.
Nice and solid. Padded so that when you rest the horn in it there's no clanking or banging around. |
Works Well So Long as You're Careful About Docking Your Horn

| This stand is very useful for "docking" your french horn when you're taking a break or leaving it unattended for a short time - so long as you are VERY careful about how the horn is placed on the stand. There is only one position in which the horn should be placed before leaving it, and it takes a while to figure out what that position is. Make sure that the "pad" at the top of the vertical post is actually pushed into the opening in your tubing coil - or the horn will tip off of the stand. Once you learn how to seat your horn properly this stand works great. It would have been nice to have brief instructions included on or in the box! |
Heavy enough for a teen

| How do you spell nervous? Watch a teen swing her horn around, looking for a place to put it down.. Aiiiii! Problem no more- this stand is heavy but portable, and has SOLVED her dilemma. Most clever product. |
