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.

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.
