There is no one definitive answer to this question. Some saxophone players swear by their saxophone stands, while others find them to be unnecessary or even a hindrance. Ultimately, it is up to the individual player to decide whether or not a saxophone stand is right for them.
Whether or not you can sit on your instrument case depends on the type of case it is. Hard cases are generally made to withstand being sat on, while soft cases are not. If you're not sure, it's always best to err on the side of caution and not sit on your case.
When playing the saxophone, it is important to have a good saxophone stand. This will help you to play the saxophone correctly and also to protect your instrument. There are many different types of saxophone stands available, so it is important to choose the right one for your needs.

I jumped on this stand as well because I've had fantastic luck with the Hercules alto sax flute/clarinet stand and the Hercules flute stand in the past and because the other stands (especially the alto stand) are so incredibly sturdy.The bari stand, however, has a few issues. The two side legs are definitely wobbling. Additionally, there will frequently be an illogical catch as the vertical portion of the bari extends; I have to adjust the catch lever two to five times before it extends fully.It's wonderful that the bottom part that touches the bari may be adjusted to the right height for your instrument. The keywork and tone holes in bars vary widely, especially in the low C range, so I enjoy that. I used a paint marker to indicate the desired location so that it always strikes the sax's reinforced joint.There should be a threaded hole drilled in the other leg for a flute or clarinet peg, and I wish there was.Strong and effective alto/tenor assistance is provided.If my were lost or stolen, I would purchase once more.

This stand is really nicely made and is ideal for an alto or soprano performer. Given that the bow rest's height can be adjusted, it ought to work well for soprano and tenor as well.You may install the peg on either side of your curved sax or add a second peg, and the stand is sturdy and foldable, making it easy to use and transport. It is also fairly priced.However, the stand does have one little issue that may be easily fixed. The soprano peg's bell rest is adjustable, allowing you to find a comfortable fit with the padded ball resting pleasantly in the saxophone's body and the bell resting on the bottom support. The friction cam lock, however, that holds the support in place is not firm enough. As a result, the bell support keeps slipping until the saxophone's whole weight is supported by the body's padded ball. Very bad.Simple application of a short stretch of tape (I used vinyl electrical tape) around the peg shaft at the desired location would fix the issue. By doing so, the modification is effectively locked in and the extra clearance is absorbed. Even with my very heavy Selmer S80 S3, there is no more slippage.

This stand is high-quality, highly durable, and reasonably priced. There are just two height adjustments, which is something that is not immediately clear from the description. The locking lever gives you those two options, and the sliding square rod has holes at the top and bottom. The rest, on the other hand, may be locked into any position and is completely adjustable. To ensure that the height adjustment would not slip under any weight, I'm confident the designers constructed it this way. If I had to find one more flaw, it would be that the foam holding the bell has a gap in it as opposed to the rest of the foam. But these are all quite minor issues. I am quite amazed by how sturdy and safe this stand is.

When you need three or four instruments available, this is a suitable choice. The only complaint I have is that the sax supports are exactly the same size and must be assembled with the tenor lower support going in the lower recess and the alto lower support going in the higher recess. The bell support on the saxe you use for tenor is made to fit the alto and is too tight to allow ease in and out for the tenor, yet this works well for the saxes' different lengths. This one will need to be gently bent in order to fit the tenor bell.

To fold a Hercules sax stand, first lower the desk to its lowest position. Next, remove the legs from the desk by unscrewing them. Finally, fold up the desk and legs until they fit snugly together.
Typically, a used saxophone can be sold for anywhere between $200 and $2,000. The price will depend on the condition of the instrument, as well as the make and model. Generally speaking, older and more well-known brands will be worth more than newer or less popular brands.
A saxophone tune-up typically costs between $50 and $100. The cost will depend on the type of saxophone and the extent of the tune-up needed.
A saxophone should be serviced every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often it is played.
To ensure your saxophone stays in good condition, you should store it in a cool, dry place. You should also avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. If you're not using your saxophone for an extended period of time, it's a good idea to store it in a case.
There's no definitive answer to this question - it depends on a variety of factors, such as the climate, the type of saxophone, and how well the instrument is maintained. In general, however, it's generally not recommended to leave a saxophone out of its case for extended periods of time, as this can lead to damage.
