The lightweight and portable TravLite Trombone Stand from Hercules Stands is a safe place to rest your instrument wherever you go. The easy-to-set-up design provides a strong, stable base with a telescopic tube for easy access to your trombone during performances and practice sessions. The stand's contact points are covered in velvet to protect your trombone's finish from dents and scratches. When it's time to wrap up, the telescopic tube withdraws into the shaft, and the stand folds down into a compact bundle, tucks into the included velvet bag, and fits snugly within the bell of your trombone. Safely stored inside your instrument's bell, the stand doesn't take up any space in your instrument case.
