The Hercules

The K&M and Hercules both got a lot of good feedback here. In the end, I went with the Hercules because it was less expensive, and it seemed like it would be easier to get the tuba in and out of it.

Recommendations for a Tuba Stand?

Hello all! I just recently bought a Wessex "Luzern" 5/4 tuba. I work from home, and would like the idea of periodically taking breaks from work to practice. Ideally, having the tuba ready to play in my home office would be ideal. I've heard it's a no-no to put the tuba down on its bell, and floor ...
