Home made tuba stand
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:15 pm
I've had some of the pieces for this cut out for quite some time, but found some inspiration in an earlier post. I thought I would post a few photos of my design to possibly give other ideas. This was made mostly out of recycled oak pallets. I wanted something hefty to potentially transfer some vibration in to the floor. I also have a student who wants to use a stand to have the ability to stand up and play. These two design considerations were incorporated. Our new hall has a special flooring system designed by the acousticians to be more floating than previous concert hall flooring systems, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. I think my next iteration of the stand will be to use the wood species used in the hall, maple and sycamore.
