Hercules DS552B Low Brass Instrument Stand

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A floor stand for tuba, euphonium or baritone horn. Worth it if your low brass currently lives in its case or on a chair.

Product studyHercules DS552B Low Brass Instrument Stand

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Tuba or euphonium players who set the horn down between pieces
  • Band rooms where horns get parked on chairs and knocked over
  • Home practice spaces where an open case eats the floor

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Trumpet or trombone players — this is sized for low brass
  • Players who need a stand that packs into a gig bag
  • Anyone wanting one stand shared across brass and woodwinds

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 01

Low brass sizing

Built around a large bell and a heavy horn. A smaller instrument sits loose and can tip out.

Detail 02

Floor stand, not a case

It holds the horn upright between playing. Transit and storage still need the case.

Detail 03

Holds one instrument

No second position for a doubling horn, and no dedicated spot for mutes or a mouthpiece.

Detail 04

Around $110

Above a generic folding utility stand. You are paying for a cradle rated to hold a heavy horn.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your bell diameter and horn weight first — low brass sizing varies a lot
  2. 02Nothing is included beyond the stand: no bag, no mute holder, no extra peg
  3. 03Use it on flat, hard floor; thick carpet lets a heavy horn lean

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this hold a tuba?

It is built for low brass, which covers tuba, euphonium and baritone horn. Match your specific horn's bell size and weight before ordering, since low brass instruments vary widely.

02Can I use it for a trombone?

A trombone is not low brass in the sense this stand is shaped for. The cradle is sized to a large upright bell, so a trombone will not seat securely.

03Does it fold up for transport?

It is a floor stand meant to stay set up in a practice room, band room or on stage. Treat it as a fixture rather than a travel accessory.

04Does it come with a bag?

No. You get the stand only. Budget separately if you need something to carry it in.
