K&M stands are known for quality excellent, and this stand makes it a lot convenient to store your horn during rehearsals and gigs.

But the best thing that users like about this stand is that the stand legs screw into the top piece and the whole thing can be stored inside your bell.

Although it fits in the bell of the horn while the trumpet is in the case, some may find it a little difficult to get the trumpet out, with the weight of the stand in the horn. A better option is to put it separately in the case. In some cases, it could leave a small indent in-front of the bell, but I guess that’s not a big deal for many.
