K&M 15213 Trumpet Stand 5-Leg

I never go for cheap stuff, the reason is particularly in small items like a stand, or accessories suffer constant use, it makes sense to spend few Euro/Pounds more than end up with something you need to replace after a month or even weeks.

K&M is a brand that stands out for its quality. I have had Speaker stands, mic stands, and trumpet in this case.

Its well made, will not scare you it will fall over, it has padding to protect your instrument from any kind of scratch to the inner part of the bell.

The folding legs and screw in, may be used from other manufactures as well but K&M has a decent screw system and it wont rust. Yes, I have seen fellow players with some seriously wear off stand. This one will not give the wrong impression to a good event.

Would recommend it to anyone, i already have been asked million times where i got it from, and the brand was enough for anyone to spot it. Thoman had the best price too.

I use this product mainly when performing in an orchestra or using multiple trumpets in a performance/audition. The product is very good overall, fits a trumpet players needs perfectly and eliminates all the worries such as trumpet falling over, one of the legs of the stand breaking etc. Very easy to assemble, assembled in less than 5 seconds. Very compact design and easy to store. I store it in the bell of my trumpet and it fits in the case perfectly. I have had this product for around 3 years now and hasn't shown any sign of wearing. The stand also looks nice as well. Would highly recommend the product.

I use this stand mainly for when I need to practise at home, altough it's most useful when outside at any place where you might need to leave your instrument to do something else and putting it back into the case everytime takes too much time and effort -also you can't just leave it on a flat,rigid surface as it might damage your instrument.

This stand does what it should do and it does it very well. It's heavy but not too heavy, just enough to keep the trumpet steady. 5 legs also makes it near-impossible to tip over due to any possible bump from the side. Also, the edge of your bell doesn't touch the metal legs even if when pressed.

The legs are designed in a way they can fit into the stand and then taken out, this makes it possible to carry the stand in your trumpet's bell in its case.

Overall great product.

On the pictures it looks a bit fragile, but in fact the legs are very very sturdy. Because of the five legs, it requires much more weight to be pushed over than a three-legged stand. Only risk is that other people drop stuff on it or stand on it. Against those brutes only the instrument case can provide some protection.
For transportation, the legs are folded together and stored in the inside of the cone.
The legs are connected to a large, metal bolt, which screws into place in the bottom of the cone. Somehow it is very satisfying to unscrew the bolt, expand the legs with a flick of your hand, and swivel the bolt back into the cone. The cone may be carried inside the bell of a trumpet or cornet.
Great stand.
