Questions & Answers
There's no need for anything else, but if you want to use one for the sake of the brass, go ahead. Otherwise, keep in mind that this creature's head is soft and unlikely to harm you.
We have a Yamaha B flat trombone, and it fits perfectly in the palm of our hands. This display has been a huge success for us.
This is a fantastic piece of writing.
There is a bass trombone, but it isn't a bass trombone.
Selected User Reviews For Hamilton Trombone Stand, Black Finish
br>br>As soon as I saw the cone when I opened the stand, I knew it would be too much. In response to a question about this item, someone stated that their jazz band and bass trombones use it. br>br>When I put my bone on the stand, it began to tilt to the side. It stayed in place and held its ground, but it's not a good feeling to see a $3,500 instrument on such a flimsy stand. This works much better with a tenor trombone.
Still, it appeals to me. br>As for the complaint about stripped threads on the tension adjustment screw below the cone, it's possible that the screw was left out. Mine isn't stripped, but it hasn't been tightened in a long time. It doesn't seem worth bothering with because the adjustment range is so small. My tenor compresses the spring, and I adjusted the center post at the base so that the slide ferrule just touches the floor, providing a little more stability, though it seems to be fine with the trombone simply sitting on the cone without any ferrule support. br>br>One could set the legs to the first detent, but that isn't secure enough to prevent a minor bump from spreading one of the legs to the second detent, potentially tipping everything over. The first detent is either an inherent artifact or a design flaw in my opinion, as fully extended legs provide more stability to the frame and overall stability of the stand. In either case, it's a bad idea with a high risk of failure.
I lost my ability to return or have it replaced last August, despite the fact that it is lightweight and folds up nicely. I'll have to eat the loss because it happened a month after I bought it. br>br>The height adjustment locking mechanism's threads have stripped. I initially assumed I'd misplaced the screw that holds the height of the small pole in place and ordered a replacement from another vendor online; however, when I tried to screw it in, it wouldn't go in because the female threads had been stripped. When I examine the stripped threads more closely, I notice that the part with the female threads is made of what appears to be pot metal. We wouldn't call this a high-quality alloy. br>br>I would stay away from this brand and manufacturer because the product appears to be subpar.
I should have paid attention to the negative feedback. The bell is held in place by a poorly designed piece - Both trombones lean, but because the larger bore tenor is heavier, it is more likely to fall if not lined up so that it leans toward one of the legs. I wanted a second stand so I could keep both my trombones out at the same time to get used to switching between the larger mouthpiece/bore and the smaller one, which is now a struggle for me and takes weeks of adjustment. I don't know if the designers ever tried putting the top piece upon which the trombone rests into an actual trombone; it almost looks like they just used a piece from a trumpet stand. It will suffice for my needs, but if you plan on using it as your primary stand for gigs and the like, I recommend looking at other models. I am returning it and replacing it with a different model. My other trombone stand, which dates from the late 1980s and is missing a screw, still works great and keeps either trombone secure and vertical.
It's a great trombone stand because it folds up so easily. Solid and dependable. Because of the soft material, it doesn't require a sock, but I wear one anyway to protect my instruments. I purchased two of these stands and will most likely purchase a third now that I own three trombones. This stand is suitable for a student tenor trombone, intermediate tenor trombone with f-holes, and a professional tenor trombone with f-holes. My Jiggs pBone, as well as the attachment. Because I don't own a bass or contrabass trombone, I haven't tried this stand with one, but I'm sure it can handle them.
Keep a trombone or two on stands to encourage your child to practice; it's amazing how much more frequently a child will practice when they don't have to take a horn out of its case and then put it back when they're done. For long tacet passages, I bring one to performances. I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy one, but every trombonist needs a stand, and these stands are just as good as any.
The rubber bell cone is spring loaded, so everything seemed great until I used it in band practice. When I lift the trombone off the cone, it springs back up and comes to a halt with a louder-than-expected audible pop that sounds like a wood block. The bell amplifies the sound and reflects it to the floor, which disperses it even more. Wow! What a shock, and certainly not appropriate for a concert hall. Even a house can be a source of irritation. Due to an unfortunate design flaw, I must return it.
" Well, it's a hard, scratchy plastic with VERY sharp casting seams, so maybe mine was exposed to direct sunlight for a week. " To make it bearable, I'm using styrofoam padding and a crown royal bag, but I wouldn't buy it again. Without some extra padding, your instrument's finish will almost certainly be damaged.
