Re: Hercules DS552B tuba/euph/baritone stand
Hi,
I have one of these. The original intent was to take it on gigs to help avoid some of the near disasters I've had. However it is just to much to carry with all the other stuff I usually have so it stays at home to keep a horn on in my practice room. That said, it is very well-designed and solidly constructed and will support much more than what you propose. I like it but just not adding it to my bag of gig stuff.

Re: Hercules DS552B tuba/euph/baritone stand
Mine came with the horn (a larger E Flat). It works great holding my instrument. I usually leave my tuba resting in it when not in use. I haven't tried my euphonium in it yet. My initial thoughts are that the euphonium would be too small to be supported properly. I will take a look at it later and post on it. I will try and add a picture.

Re: Hercules DS552B tuba/euph/baritone stand
I have one also, I keep a Tuba on it in my practice room. Very sturdy but too bulky to lug around to rehearsals and gigs. I haven't tried putting my Euphonium in it but I'm guessing it would work with a little readjustment.

Re: Hercules DS552B tuba/euph/baritone stand
Here is my B&S pt-22p tuba in the stand. The lower horizontal bar was in its shortest configuration for both my tuba and my Adams Euphonium. The vertical bar fit better when lowest around the throat of the euphonium, but the lead pipe did not allow it to sit in this position.
Both horns felt sturdy in the stand, but I don't think I would leave my euphonium in it. There is very little clearance around the lead pipe area. Perhaps I am being overly cautious, as the neoprene grips seemed to hold it- it just looks too small for the frame.
