HerculesDS503B Velvet Peg for Soprano Saxophone / Flugelhourn
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A velvet-covered peg for soprano saxophone or flugelhorn. It adds a resting spot for a narrow-bore horn; it is a peg, not a standalone stand.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Doublers adding a soprano position to an existing sax stand
- Flugelhorn players who put the horn down between tunes
- Cheapest way to add one more horn slot to a setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing something that stands on its own
- Alto, tenor or trumpet, which are different diameters
- Players wanting the horn protected rather than parked
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
Peg, not a stand
It gives the horn a place to rest. Something else has to hold the peg up.
Detail 03
Soprano sax and flugelhorn sizing
Shaped to a narrow straight bore. Wider or differently tapered instruments will sit loose or not seat at all.
Detail 04
Around $21
Far below the cost of a second stand, which is the point — it extends what you already own.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm it mounts to the stand you already have before ordering
- 02Peg only — no base, no legs, no stand included
- 03Keep the velvet clean; trapped grit is what marks lacquer, not the fabric
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this hold a trumpet?
It is sized for soprano sax and flugelhorn. A trumpet's leadpipe and bore differ, so a secure fit is not something to count on.
02Can I use it by itself?
No. It is a peg, so it needs a stand or mount to attach to. On its own it will not hold anything upright.
03Will it fit a curved soprano sax?
Curved sopranos balance differently than straight ones. Check the bell shape and how the horn would seat before ordering.
04Does the velvet damage lacquer?
Velvet is the soft option specifically to avoid that. Wipe it out occasionally — dust and grit caught in the pile are what scratch finish.
