This is a Hercules trumpet and cornet stand. It has a foldable, compact design. It can be stored in the bell of the instrument, saving space and making it easy to carry in a case. The five-legged base provides a low center of gravity for stability. I've used it for several years, so there is some wear and tear, but the flocked and rubber parts are still in good condition, and there are no issues with protecting the instrument. Please understand that this is a used item and check the photos. The listing includes the stand only, no box.
