Detail 01
In-bell support
The horn sits over an upright post inside the bell rather than resting in a cradle. Nothing touches the slide or lacquer outside.

HerculesDS420B TravLite In-Bell Trombone Stand
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A folding in-bell trombone stand from Hercules at $71.76. Under two and a half feet folded, aimed at players who gig and travel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pit and gig work where the horn goes down between charts
- Marching and travel players packing light
- Doubling on a second horn during a set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a floor cradle rather than in-bell support
- Anyone parking a horn permanently at home, cheaper options exist
- Bells too small or oddly shaped to seat on the post
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
11 inch base radius
A 22 inch spread on the floor. Stable, but plan for it in a tight pit or crowded stage.
Detail 03
34.2 inch height
Bell sits near waist height, so the horn is grabbed standing and the slide stays clear of the floor.
Detail 04
24.4 x 4.6 inch folded
Collapses to roughly a music stand tube. It goes in a gig bag or beside the case, not in a pocket.
Detail 05
2 lb
Light enough to add to what you already carry without rethinking your load-in.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nothing included but the stand; no case, bag, or mute holder
- 02Check your bell throat clears the in-bell post before a gig relies on it
- 03Folded length is over two feet, confirm it fits your existing bag
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it hold a bass trombone?
It supports from inside the bell, so fit depends on your bell throat and horn weight. Test it at home before trusting it on a gig.
02How small does it fold?
24.4 inches long by 4.6 inches wide, at about 2 pounds. It travels alongside a case rather than inside a pocket.
03Does it touch the slide?
No. Support comes from the post inside the bell, keeping the slide and outer finish clear.
04Is it stable on carpet?
The base spreads 11 inches out from center, which is a wide footprint. Set it on flat ground and check it before walking away.
