. . . Euphonium Stand. I’d like my newly acquired Double Bell to have somewhere to live too!
Quick plug for Bloke’s waste-not-want-not practicality and willingness to share his knowledge:
I wasn’t doubling enough to justify the expense or clutter of a euph stand, but several years back, Bloke mentioned using a Hercules french horn stand as an inexpensive, lightweight, super compact euphonium stand. I bought one on eBay for $10ish dollars, and believe I neglected circling back to thank Bloke for the advisory.
Very utilitarian for performance (less so, I’d imagine, for general sitting-out/display, because it’s ‘wide’ instead of ‘tall’): inexpensive, lightweight, folds small, deploys quickly, and holds the horn securely and accessible in a very stable, horizontal (low CG) position.
Thanks (very belatedly), Bloke!
