Hercules Stands DS543BB Flute/Clarinet/Piccolo Stand with Bag

What more can I say! It's the best stand out there. I used some other cheaper, smaller stands but they were either of terribly low quality or I was worried about them getting knocked over. None of that here! Thing is sturdy as a...well, whatever is sturdy! Sure, it's a bit bulky to carry around to and from rehearsals, but it's worth it!

I play the oboe and English horn, so I bought this stand for a piece where I have to switch in between instruments. The stand is incredibly sturdy and easy to set up. You can fold it and make it easier to transport in a backpack. I sit next to a piccolo player, and I let her use the third peg so that it doesn’t go to waste. Her piccolo sits well on it and the stand has made both of our lives much easier while switching instruments. I love this product!

The Hercules Clarinet stand is outstanding. It is designed to provide a lifetime of use or at least several years worth. It is known in the music industry as gold standard. My son stand by this brand and used several Hercules products throughout his musical career. A+++++

Good, quality stand. Includes carry bag and three removable, velvet covered, upright holds for instruments.

I highly recommend this, as it's very sturdy and will not easily tip over, if at all, and holds three instruments at a time, so I can set up my flute and clarinet for lessons, and not have to dismantle and reassemble in between lessons, but it also has the third spike to hold my student's instrument while we are going over theory, etc. I replaced one of these "spikes" with the flute stand by the same company that has the spring loaded mount, which I prefer for my flute, but the ones that come with this work fantastically well too. Nice fabric covers each spike, so no chance of scratching or otherwise marring expensive instruments. I love this and only wish I had known about it years ago in my music studio. It would've saved many minutes over the years of dismantling and reassembling instruments in between various lessons, as I never leave my flute especially laying on a surface because of the risk of it being handled by a younger student, or being accidentally knocked off by students or parents. This allows me to rest the instruments on it in a corner on the floor safely, rather than having to set down on fireplace mantle, couch, or piano bench, or dismantling to store in case...

I play c flute, alto flute and piccolo. It is good to have one stand that can accomodate 1, 2 or all 3 instruments at a time. Sturdy and I have no fear it will topple my instruments.

I'm using this for my Yamaha plastic recorder set and it works great. The alto fits on the thinner spike (I haven't tried the soprano yet but I rarely play that one), the tenor and bass fit on the thicker spike. The thicker spike is a bit short for the bass and the bass is heavy enough that if it's the only instrument on the stand it will fall over if I'm not careful.Appears to be sturdily built, and overall appears to be good quality.I wish it had a different locking mechanism for the arms, the buttons are hard for me to push down far enough to close it up for traveling, but I really like how compact it is for taking to gigs.

My flutes and piccolo sit nicely. I never have to worry about them falling over.
