Tuba Stands?

[Wyvern]

Ideally, not looking for a playing aid but for something to "plant" the horn in to avoid laying it down on the floor or on the bell.

You are talking about the wrong sort of stand!

Another problem is that there are some imitations out there, and the pictures that are linked into this thread show genuine imitations. Here is what the real deal looks like:

I have a king-sized K&M stand for my RM Bayreuth and a regular tuba-sized K&M stand for my Miraphone 191. Wherever my tubas go, they go with me because I'm not gonna put my horns on the floor. These stands are very stable and it takes more than a little bump to jostle them around.

I also have a genuine imitation I purchased by mistake but for which I currently have little use. It works, but it just isn't the same as a K&M.

I guess I'm also a wimp since I use the K&M playing rest at home and the Baltimore Brass playing rest on the road because it's lighter, more portable, and easily adjusts low enough to be used with a standard chair and my Bayreuth. I'm 6'1" with long legs and a shorter torso.

My avatar shows my practice setup with the tubas, stands, and drum throne.

Thanks for the info folks. I just bought the K&M stand at WWBW. Seems to be priced about as good as anywhere else.
