I have various kinds of Hercules stands, and they are all well-made and sturdy. This alto flute stand also works for a bass flute. I wish the stand itself were just a little taller, but it works! Now, I need them to make a stand that has pegs for all my flutes - bass (which, as I said, the alto peg works, but I wish it was a bit longer), alto, "C" flute, AND piccolo! (Put that on my Christmas wish list!)

I have been looking for an alto flute stand for a while. This stand allows me to attach my flute and piccolo pegs to it as well. The alto sits close to center on the stand and does so very securely. Added my flute and piccolo as well and found it even MORE stable than my older Hercules stand (however, that one was even better than most on the market).I have tried many different stands and find that Hercules stands are, by far, superior to any other stand that I have tried. Most other stands that I have tried aren't as "heavy" as the Hercules, tend to be wobbly and instruments do not sit as securely. The bases seem to be too small to prevent tipping when loaded with multiple instruments.

I did have also by the add-on holder for the concert flute, but it screwed on easily and both flutes are held securely.

Pros: Folds nicely. Balances well, and seems sturdy enough, but of course since weight is a concern in a travelling accessory, it's not the kind I'd want to leave my flutes stacked unattended on in the pit or onstage (I'd leave that to a Blayman, for example, but that's just me, who also doesn't want to carry that much weight around!). I also purchased the C flute peg, which works well.Cons: Came with wrong rubber tip on alto peg, so I couldn't actually fit the alto over the tip-- making it useless for the single occasion I've needed it. I've not addressed that with Amazon yet but expect they can replace it for me. There was no bag anywhere in sight, which doesn't bother me except that I paid for it.

I recently purchased an alto flute for a musical pit orchestra I played in. I knew the instrument would fall off of my lap (and be difficult to work with) so I ordered this stand. It came very quickly, and it is great. It's very heavy so I'm not worried about it falling over if I bump my alto flute and it has a padded stand so I don't worry about damaging my flute putting it on and take it back off. Great item. In the future I will look at purchasing the flute and piccolo pegs for this stand - great idea.

I bought this for my bass flute. It is strong and sturdy enough to handle the bass, although it leans a little because the peg is not wide enough. In addition, I wanted to be able to put additional pegs on it so that I could store the bass mouthpiece on another peg (since the mouthpiece is on a crook, it will not drain when the flute is standing on end) and my concert flute on a second peg. Although I couldn't find info that said you could add pegs, in fact, you can. There are two other peg screw holes so that you can add the other pegs.

The stand works very well for my alto flute, either with the straight or curved headjoint. The stand is very stable, even on carpet. I don't think I would trust any stand less stable or secure for a curved headjoint alto flute. I am quite impressed with my Hercules stand and would highly recommend it.

Really, these things are the ugliest damned stands. If you like having your alto flute look like a piece of Caterpillar farm equipment, then this is the stand for you .... another thing really annoying is that it never stands straight up perpendicular to the ground... it's always on a slight angle, which is annoying and does not promote even drainage of moisture... if your Eb key is on the low side, it could actually make that wetter! Also it's really heavy....

The alto flute stand is exactly what I was needing! Easy to assemble. Added a C flute stand to it and it works great!

The center nut does not fit with the other instrument stands, they can only be placed on the legs. The middle stick is very thick and is not suitable for a regular flute, only alto.
