Hercules Soportes DS535B Soporte para saxofón barítono

I've been using this stand for several weeks, and it's incredibly stable. My saxophone sits securely without any wobbling, and I feel confident leaving it on the stand during rehearsals. The build quality is excellent and feels like it will last for years.

It's very lightweight it's very stable it has a great value it has a okay storage it's very functional.

Bought it for my son's saxophone.Easy to setup and durable.I only use Hercules guitar stands.

This baritone sax stand was a gift for someone who plays in a community band. I wanted something sturdy to protect the instrument. Since the band plays in a variety of venues, some a long way from home, it needed to be easy to carry. Some stands come apart; this one folds up, so everything stays together. It is made from steel, so it has no plastic parts to break or crack. It is a little more money, but it makes no sense to spend thousands on an instrument and then go cheap on a stand that tips over or breaks. One repair bill will pay for the price difference multiple times. This model has an option to get a peg to hold another instrument as well.

Years ago I had a Hamilton bari stand with casters that had all sorts of adjustments to hold my sax for seated playing. Unfortunately the single bell ring mount put enough stress on the horn that the bell brace kept breaking loose from the horn (ca. 1952 Buescher Aristocrat low Bb), requiring it be resoldered each time.The Hercules stand has a conventional two-place holding system (top of bell and down by the bow) which cradles the horn - very solid and the weight is well distributed. The bell "U" cradle is tight allowing the horn to be turned slightly to the left and, with a slight offset of the neck, puts the horn in a good playing position. Height and distance between upper and lower cradles is adjustable allowing for low Bb or low A horns. It's not tall enough for stand-up playing so …

When our bari player at school broke his collarbone, I hunted for something that might enable him to continue playing during his recovery. This stand adjusts easily and holds our school bari securely, and the student was able to play sooner than he otherwise would have. It wasn't an ideal arrangement, and would probably not work for shorter students, but it worked just fine for us.The stand folds up easily and includes two spots for Hercules pegs. It would be an excellent stand for a musical pit with quick changes from bari to other woodwinds if you have the pegs.

This stand is very sturdy and a quality item and is a good value. One thing that is not obvious from the description is that their are only two height adjustments, the sliding square rod has a hole at the top and the bottom and you have those two choices with the locking lever. The rest, on the other hand, is fully adjustable and will lock in any position. I am sure the designers made it this way to guarantee that the height adjustment will not slide under any weight. If I had to pick another nit, the foam that holds the bell has a gap in it, unlike the foam on the rest. These are all minor points, however. This is a very secure and heavy stand and I am very impressed.

I've had this stand for a couple of months, now. This seems to be a good stand, and I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.The stand feels well built and sturdy. I don't have a fear that it may tip over easily and I have ordered an alto/tenor Hercules that should be here next week. I guess that's a pretty good endorsement. It may replace my Hamilton, which I've used for many, many years, and I plan on writing a review for the alto/tenor stand after using it for a couple of months.I have found only two negatives with it, and they are fairly minor.The part that the bottom of the bell rests against moves every time you pack up the stand so that you have to re-position it the next time you set it up. The other thing is that the spring pins that you push in to release the various folding parts …
