I bought this wonderful Hercules stand for my flute, and it is the best I've ever owned. I've played flute/piccolo for over 30 years, and have resisted buying this stand because of it's weight and slight bulk. I always had the plastic, compact stands before, which are unreliable when you are switching fast between flute and piccolo. I tended to knock my flute over (although I've become quite adept at catching my flute as it was falling!) Crazy, huh? I finally changed my mindset when my Sankyo flute actually did fall all the way over during a musical, and now has a permanent dent in the headjoint! I had to buy something sturdier! I feel completely confident in this stand, and no longer worry about my flute falling over every time I reach for it. Don't wait until your flute falls and becomes damaged! This stand is very sturdy, with rubber pads on the feet, and it folds up for storage. The velvet on the removable peg is a real bonus, although it doesn't come off for cleaning. My husband has the Hercules tenor sax stand and the Hercules baritone sax stand. They are all very study and totally reliable. Hercules stands are somewhat pricey, but so, so worth it!!

As a band director, I recently purchased this item for use in my classroom. The stand is consturcted of quality guage steel and is quite sturdy. Being that I often play many different instruments with students, it is nice that it holds multiple instruments.The only negative is that the top peice threads into the tripod for storage. These threads sometimes become loose and you have to periodically tighten the top part. If you use it mostly in a stationary location you might want to put some lock-tight on the threads.Good product, would recommed to students and professionals.

This little guy is like all Hercules products.. built very very strong.... I did get the other flut stand that sits inside the foot joint but it barely lasted 2 minutes. The hinge pins did not last... I am waiting for a replacement for that one. This 540 model is not quite a portable but definitely totally dependable and well made.

This is a good stand but it's a bit of overkill for a flute. Would look for something lighter in the future. This will never fall apart, I'm sure!

Really nice stand for the flute - I like the weight and how solid the legs feel. The peg is covered with velvet, so it won't scratch the instrument. The flute does, however, have some wobble as the peg is a bit smaller than the interior of the flute. (If you look at the headjoint, it can move several inches back and forth due to the extra space around the peg.) Although the wobble can be a bit unsettling, I'm still confident in the stand because of the weight/solidity of the base. Would be perfect if the peg were slightly bigger.

Der Hercules Ständer für Flöte und Klarinette ist sehr flexibel und sehr große Stabilität.Ich habe zwei Ständer für Flöte und Klarinette bestellte.Er ist sehr gut gebaut und sehr fest.Da wackelt nicht und passt einfach gut für beide Instrumenten.Der Schutz des Instrumentes ist auch gut.Also sehr zu empfehlen!

We got this for our daughter, she had a high-end Yamaha flue. It fits perfectly on this peg. The idea is not just to hold the flute, but after you are done playing, and you clean the flute, you still want it to really DRY OUT before you put it back in the case. This is the way to go. (Don't leave it flat, someone will sit on your expensive flute, or they'll put a book on it, or worse...)Very Happy. We'll look into adding a peg to this for a piccolo; that will be nice too!

We were looking at a portable stand for my daughter's clarinet. This portable stand works great, protects the bell, and provides a stable place for the clarinet.Two legs fold in and the peg unscrews which makes for easy storage and portability. This base of the stand itself is also is universal for some other instruments if you chose to order different posts to screw onto it.The base has decent weight to prevent the instrument from falling over. It won't prevent it from falling if it gets knocked, but not many stands will.My only concern is the tightness of the legs. Right now, everything is tight, but I am concerned that with use, the legs my loosen and start to flop a little. I may be premature with this, since right now it is rock solid and I really don't see any obvious failure points.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good stand without spending a fortune.UPDATE 04/02/2011: My daughter has been using the stand for a little while now, taking it to school in her backpack and the stand is still rock solid. Nice stand.

This stand totally rocks for use at home, but it may be too bulky or heavy for someone who needs to on the road with it a lot. Hercules makes the best music stands, they are strong, well balanced, and heavy enough to prevent tipping. We have this woodwind plus a number of acoustic and electric guitar stands from Hercules. These stands are so sturdy that our music instruments can sit out and ready to play, and we don't have worry about knocking them over at all.My son uses the Clarinet Pad-Savers to keep the clarinet dry inside and the stand to keep it safe in the open, and his fine wooden clarinet sits out near his chair to be noticed and played frequently. Plus the upright clarinet takes up little space, is pleasant to look at, and ready to play.I love our Hercules stands. I'm buying another clarinet stand today. Highly recommended tis brand of music stand.
