Product Features

• Durable Construction: Features bright chrome plating for maximum durability.
• Instrument Protection: Equipped with a rubber bell cup to cushion instruments and prevent damage.
• Stable Design: Lightweight channel design for legs ensures stand stability.
• Compact Storage: Folds to a compact 12 inches for easy transport and storage.
• Versatile Use: Designed primarily for trombones, but also suitable for Bb and C trumpets and cornets.

Setup Instructions

1. Unfold the Legs: Gently pull the three legs outwards from the central column until they are fully extended and locked into position, forming a stable tripod base. Ensure all legs are evenly spread for maximum stability.
2. Adjust Height: Loosen the adjustment knob located on the main shaft. Extend the upper shaft to the desired height. Tighten the knob securely to lock the shaft in place.
3. Position Bell Cup: Ensure the rubber bell cup is firmly seated on the upper shaft. This cup provides cushioning for your instrument's bell.
4. Verify Stability: Before placing an instrument, gently test the stand's stability on a flat surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Carefully place the bell of your trombone (or other compatible instrument) into the rubber bell cup.
2. Balance: Ensure the instrument is balanced on the stand. The stand is designed to hold the instrument securely, but proper placement is crucial to prevent tipping.
3. Removal: When removing the instrument, lift it straight up from the bell cup. Avoid pulling or twisting forcefully.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the chrome-plated surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Rubber Components: Periodically inspect the rubber bell cup and leg caps for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain instrument protection and stand stability.
• Joints and Knobs: Ensure all adjustment knobs are functioning smoothly and securely. Do not overtighten. If joints become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the stand to its compact size and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

• Stand Instability: Ensure all three legs are fully extended and evenly spread. Verify that the stand is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the instrument is properly balanced in the bell cup.
• Difficulty Adjusting Height: Loosen the adjustment knob completely. If the shaft is stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the inner shaft and work it up and down. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
• Bell Cup Issues: If the rubber bell cup is loose or damaged, it may need to be re-seated or replaced to ensure proper instrument cushioning.
