Great for long rehearsals or practice sessions. I leave mine out all the time so I don't have to put my horn up in between practice sessions.Also fits guitars!

Really nice quality and a lot heavier then expected. Displays and holds the horn very securely protecting the horn from dents and scratches. Just do not leave the horn on there for a long time if you plan on playing it (unless you are already playing everyday) because it will collect dust inside the horn and if you have a screw on bell it can get stuck. But that was my boyfriends issue which had nothing to do with the quality of the item, just a fair warning of what could happen.

No instructions as to how to set it up, but I figured it out from looking at the picture on the box. I don't have a problem with it not being balanced, as some reviewers have mentioned. My double horn sits very nicely on it, and I appreciate having the horn in full view rather than in the case. It serves as mute testimony to my need to practice. LOL. I'm glad I bought this.

I just purchased this stand and I am very impressed with how well built it is. If you look at the picture on the side of the box, it looks like the photographer is not a horn player. I would never leave my horn sitting in the stand as shown. I place my horn with the center peg in the throat of the bell, with my blow pipe angled over the Hercules logo on leg A. Then I tilt the horn slightly to lightly hook the top of the bell with the padded latches on legs B and C. Depending on your horn you may want to move the blow pipe a little to the left or right of leg A to get the best center of gravity. You do this by slightly tilting the horn up a tad. To me the horn feels 10 times more secure. I am not a professional player, I take my horn to work with me, and practice when the store is empty. I really prefer this stand to placing my horn on the floor, or leaning it against a counter, and waiting for an accident to happen.

My horn teacher has used a Hercules stand for the past 4 years. She loves it and suggested that I may want to invest in one. She further told me that spending my money on anything less than a Hercules would be a waste, so if I wanted a stand to buy this one. I am quite impressed with the fact that I feel like my horn is being cradled as well in this stand as it is in my own hands. The arms are adjustable so that it will caress any horn, not just one model. This is the most universal horn stand I have ever seen, and I've seen a Paxman, a Holton Farkas, a Conn (6D and 8D) and an F.E. Olds all resting comfortably in these stands.

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!

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.
