[Trombone-l] Wenger Gig Stand

[Jon Brummel]

Wow.  Don't know about current retail-I paid about $100 for it and the  
thing is the most sturdy stand I've come across.  It's a beast- when  
setup properly, it won't go anywhere.

One con: it can be a little sussceptible to a rear fall depending on  
the angle you set it up at.  That said-its the Humvee of gig stands,  
not light, big profile, but is a beast.
