Trumpet tip, Trumpet Stands.

This video takes a look at several types of Trumpet stands. The main point is to find one that is sturdy and fits your particular needs. Be sure you never leave your horn on a stand during a break if there are young children near by that can get to it. Don't leave it sitting out in any situation where it possibly can be knocked over. Put your horn away is there is any possibility of it being damaged!

Thanks and great tip about when playing around kids.

I too am a K&M stand guy. My only deal with them is the legs are made of pot metal and I've had broken legs before. Most likely reason is I use a T shirt on the trumpet one as a cushion so the horn will get stuck. Putting a toe/foot on a leg to hold it down while I pick the horn up has in the past caused a bowing back/forth of a leg then over time they break. Thanks to Connolly of New York, I keep a stash of legs at home as a broken K&M leg is easily changed out by unscrewing the center screw and removing the cap that holds the legs in, then the broken leg just lifts out,etc. Connolly in New York distributes these stands and has supplied me with good legs and has been nice enough to spot them for me, but buying them is cheap also. After sending them a pic of a broken one they just send me 3-4 good ones. I'm liking the felt ring idea.....maybe I'll go that route now,heh.

Am I the only one who doesn't like how he throws everything around I get he's trying to show toughness of these products but really pushing it off the table is not my ideal way of approaching that

[@PhilMargolies]

+matthew b No, you're not the only one. Some of his other videos also exhibit trumpet abuse, and he's not demonstrating toughness in those.

[@Rufftips]

No instruments or equipment was harmed in any of these videos.

Cool video man, I play cornet and I am pretty much the only brass player I know so these videos are a big help! Cheers for making them!

[@ericdaniel323]

Thanks so much for your videos! I enjoy them, but you made me very nervous "playing hockey" with your horns. I wanted to add that Hercules makes a folding single horn stand a little like the K&M. I was always worried about scratching/dinging my bell by storing a K&M in it, but with the Hercules, the only parts that come in contact with the horn are coated in rubber, and there is a thin storage bag, so I don't worry about taking my horn out and finding little dings in the bell anymore!

Ezra S No worries everyone made it home safe to their family that night

[@Fwlr2004]

Miss you Jon!

[@Rufftips]

ericdaniel323, Thank you for adding to the information, excellent review. I have never had dings from traveling with the stand in the bell. I have dinged my horn when setting it on the stand at a bad angle. Looks like the Hercules stand won’t do this. Is this stand sturdy? Will it stand up to the table hockey test? Thanks again have fun. Jon

[@adrianogalvanvergutz8842]

Does the Piccolo trumpet fits on the Hercules Stand?

[@Rufftips]

Ah yes the standard greeting. Do not be offended it is not a personal thing it is simply my greeting. I could say something about the kid in all of us or that we must not loose our inner child but I shall refrain.

[@MichaelBxl]

Hi, do you know if the flugelhorn K&M stand fits properly Yamaha 8310zg flugelhorns ? I have read some problems with some Yamaha models

[@Rufftips]

MichaelBxl I am quite sure they fit that horn just fine. Purchase the stand from an outlet that do a refund or exchange. Best, Jon

[@MichaelBxl]

Thank you :-) buy the way I love your videos

[@Rufftips]

MichaelBxl well thank you very much

[@jbtrains]

What would you recommend if I was to use either a mello or trumpet stand thing for a marching baritone

[@Rufftips]

not sure you will find one that will fit in that bell. Best, Jon

[@ChaplainAcosta]

Flugelhorn stand might work. It works for my Olds Flugabone really well.

[@wjdrkssh8775]

Sir... im not kid anymire...

[@dwarflord6274]

정건희 shut up

[@coolflutist5467]

trumpets don't need stands; you can sit the trumpet's bell on the floor

[@jeremydavalosmusic]

Looking at it the wrong way could knock it over if you just put it bell down.

[@dwarflord6274]

Cool Flutist are you crazy

[@blakeorr7604]

This is a sin.
