"Despite the stand's plastic and metal construction, the legs are made of a strange, metal-powder casted material that snapped after 3 years of use."
"It also disassembles with ease for convent storage in the bell of the trumpet."
"This is an awesome stand!"
"The felt pads definitely keep the trumpet from getting scratched, but there is another way it could get damaged."
"When disassembled, it fits well into the bell of my trumpet without doing any damage."
"Holds my trumpet and flugelhorn nicely and is quiet to use, not clanking if I don't line the bell up properly."
"Anyway I order this stand and from the second I pulled it out of the box It felt very well built and sturdy and I noticed that there was padding and a rubber tip to ensure that the inside of your trumpet would be ok, it also was very stable with a trumpet on it and very convenient, it folds up quite nicely and could fit in your case either in the bell of your trumpet or if you have a pocket on your case it could fit in it as well I highly recommend this product especially if you're a student I'm a college student and I write a lot of notes on my music and it's nice to just put down my trumpet and write my notes without even worrying about someone stepping on, or if I'm going to drop my trumpet and for this I do put my nice instrument on it without worrying about scratching a ring on it I'm very happy with this product."

"The case keeps the horn in an upright position rather than the tradition down position I am used to, but this is to leave room for the MASSIVE pocket which holds my straight, cup, and Harmon mutes with plenty of room to spare. I have my Giardinelli Heavyweight pro horn in the case right now, and it fits fine even with its longer valve casing!"
"Bought this case for my son since his last case had started falling apart."
"Not so with this case."
"The side pocket is larger than most cases. Be aware, that all that "stuff" in your case, will make it heavier than your much smaller case most horns come with, that have no storage :) We were a bit surprised...but if you need to haul your "stuff" with you and be ready to play, and you play alot, this will do the job nicely."
"The original case was worn out and my other trumpet case was to small."
"I am able to fit all my extras in the case."
"I am impressed with the quality, construction, and weight of the case."
