Sousaphone floor stand. Found btw

Post by EmptyCase »

[*]If anyone has a Sousa floor stand they’d be willing to part with let me know. I have this really nice 20k from the 30s/40s that I’d rather not have laying on the floor of my bedroom.

Bump. Still looking for one used. Ideally if somebody had a Yamaha Airlift stand...

If someone has one used, those K&M "butterfly" stands (actually, a copy of a very old American design) can be used to sit beside the sousaphone reach through the donut, and comfortably play it without having to hold it.

(The neck has to be rotated to the left, and the bell has to be rotated to the right.)

Thanks for the tip! Using a K&M "butterfly" stand sounds like a smart way to play the sousaphone comfortably. thats really nice idea I am unable to find one so i will create one.

Truth be told, I would probably be in the market for one (used cheap - either K&M or USA old old). I can imagine some jobs where I could be sitting down playing a sousaphone for a couple of sets, even though I'm addicted to my compensating E-flat with the recording bell.

I bought one of these and it’s worked great so far.

I hope you find a Sousa floor stand for your vintage 20k soon. Keeping it off the floor is a good idea!

I have a Hercules floor stand and a Wenger wall mount I’d be willing to part with.

I’ll have to check in on pricing if you’d like either.
