I like the stand, it is quite sturdy. Even though it’s tall, I find it quite safe and little risk of dropping my tenor sax. Also convenient - don’t have to bend to pick up the sax. Good value

Great standup stand for my Tenor.Using it to double with a guitar onstage.Interesting how your playing changes without the instrument weight on your body.

Excellent stand, very light but stable. Much lighter than i expected and will not be a transport problem as folds up quite small in two easy to assemble pieces. Takes all the weight off for stand up or sit down playing, which is why i got it due to back injury. Very impressed with the quality and very comfortable to hold your sax while you're playing it. Very happy and would recommend this stand to anybody with shoulder neck or back probs from weight of sax. It also takes a lot of pressure off the fingers as you're not trying to control the movement of the sax at the same time as playing it. 10 out of 10 from me.

I started using a tall stand for my alto sax when I was playing a lot of guitar. This allowed me to take a solo quickly without switching instruments. I originally started using the OnStage Stands version, as the Hercules version wasn't yet available. I used that stand very effectively for several years. More recently, I added tenor sax to my repertoire. As a fan and owner of other Hercules stands, I decided to give their tall sax stand a try.I was immediately pleased with this stand for several reasons. One, it is very sturdy and well-made. The OnStage Stand was, too, but the Hercules seems a cut above in quality. The hardware is all solidly constructed. The knobs work smoothly and easily. The mechanical gripper that holds the bell is surprisingly sturdy and works very well. I tested it and analyzed it closely to make sure it was safe for my very expensive instruments. I have come to really trust the mechanism, much more so than my previous OnStage Stand. I have had my alto sax fall off my old stand (not fun). I don't feel I have to worry about that with the Hercules at all. It really works.The only real weakness, for me, is that the angle of the instrument on the stand is less suitable for playing. The OnStage stand has a slight forward tilt to it, which makes it very good for leaning over to take a solo. The Hercules stand holds the sax upright. While this is actually not a bad thing, it takes a little getting used to. With the height set perfectly, it's playable. I recently did a concert with a very fast switch from tenor to alto sax. I wore the alto and did the tenor solo on the stand. It worked fine, but the angle didn't feel quite as natural.The only other thing I've noticed, is that although the sax is held very securely, the base has the potential to be slightly less stable since the sax sits slightly off-center. As long as you are careful to align one of the three legs on the side of the sax, it's stable. If you have the "open" side facing the sax, however, it wouldn't take much force to tip the stand over towards you. This is something to take into account if you don't have much floor space, or must set up near the dance floor (if you've worked in clubs, you know what I mean). This is probably more of an issue with a heavy tenor than with an alto. But either way, with proper care, it shouldn't be a problem.Because I like this stand so much, and I feel it's much more secure than my old OnStage stand, I will be purchasing a second Hercules for my alto. Even with the minor nitpicks, I think it's a better stand. The gripping mechanism is the major selling point for me. It makes switching instruments faster and less stressful. The whole stand also folds up very nicely, making it easier to transport. It works great for either tenor or alto, with just one easy adjustment. All in all, this is the best sax stand I've owned and I'm very happy with it.EDIT: I purchased a second Hercules stand for my alto. It is every bit as good as the first. I must retract my comment about the "tilt" issue. For an alto sax, the angle is just fine for playing with the instrument resting on the stand. I don't think the angle is significantly different from the OnStage version, I simply wasn't used to playing a tenor in that way. The alto is easier, but the tenor is perfectly workable. I've performed this way many times and have grown more accustomed to it.I will never go back to my old stands.
