[Trombone-l] Leaving a horn on its stand

[Richardson, Timothy Mr. DAC USAG Franconia DPW]

Tom has a really good point.

In warm weather (and sometimes in cool) a soft rubber stand top can stick to
the bell.  As you lift the horn, the stand comes with, then drops away
toward the slide.  I've had it hit my slide.  A little bit of cloth will
stop that.

hahahahahahahahahaha Thanks Steve,
Though I will freely admit, I do own a
"multi"-Trombone stand (holds 7 Trombones), & is secure enough that even if
only 1 Trombone as large as a Contra is on the stand it will not topple, &
it still folds up.
But I do have to watch it when used in public as the too-curious onlookers
like to get too close to "see how it works".

But seriously, as a multi instrumentalist full time, there are always at
least 5-6 instruments on stands in my house 24 hours a day.

Back to the original poster's question, I agree with Eric; you're going to
leave one instrument on a stand for longer than a couple of hours, esp in
the warmer months, put a rag/towel/cloth/etc on the stand particularly if
you have a softer support top.

YMMV.

Tom
