The usual Hercules quality, but a loose fit
I absolutely adore Hercules stands - they've set a standard for me when it comes to instrument stands. I own a lot of them - for guitar, piano and now, this one for saxophone. And this is the first one that has left me wanting... more. It folds super-fast and neatly, comes with its own carry bag. A small fold out spacer to lift the bell away from the stand and increase stability. But, where I've found it lacking - is the foam U bracket that holds the horn itself, the main part of the stand. It is VERY wide and alto saxophone will have a loose fit, even those with a wider bore. I use it with a Yanagisawa AW-O1 and P.Mauriat 67R and both will wobble and slide to one or other side if bumped ever so slightly. I will try to squeeze and make the bracket fit the form a bit more tightly, but the stock format is just too loose for a firm, safe grip.

Holds the saxophone and is sturdy
There is not much to say more than the title. It is a sturdy stand and it holds my saxophone. I ask no more of it.

Very good
These work well. You have to know the trick of depressing the chrome studs to open / close the arms. Not difficult once you realise they aren't rivets. Very robust and stable.

Pleased with my Sax Stand
I needed an inexpensive but solidly built sax stand to hold a tenor sax. I already owned a Hercules Bassoon stand which has been a more than solid performer over the years. I had high hopes for the sax stand, and was not let down.
I love the locking mechanism for collapsing the stand. It is solid, and the stand folds up nice and small. I also love the carrying case it comes with. I can see that it might give out under heavy use taking it to many gigs, but, I am treating it carefully and it's not being transported that much.
All in all, I'm very pleased.

Great
I really didn't realise how much I needed this stand until I got one. I'm completely dependent on it, it's very portable. Going to a from gigs is made much easier when your stand fits into your saxophone case. Not only is it portable, but it is also very stable when it's folded out. The rubber tips on the legs mean your sax is not going anywhere.

Easy-to-carry around and sturdy saxophone stand.
Excellent Hercules saxophone standard.
Easy to carry around.
Very little space consuming when closed even it's not the "travelling" model.
One CONS only...
With tenor saxophones with a large bell... it may be tricky to place the instrument on the stand.
The stand holds perfectly "large bell" tenor saxophones... it's just tricky to place the instruments on it, because the "U" space brace is a little tight.
