RCA PCK400072 Acoustic Guitar Stand Folding

The RCA PCK400072 folding trumpet and cornet stand solves the specific problem every brass player on the move has encountered: you need a stand for the instrument, but carrying one more piece of gear is one piece too many. The answer here is a stand that lives inside the horn itself. Folded down to 7 x 2.7 x 2.6 inches and weighing just 1.6 ounces, it drops into the bell of a trumpet or cornet and disappears until you need it. Unfolded on a flat surface, it holds the instrument securely enough for the practical use case it's built for — setting the horn down between tunes at a gig, in a rehearsal break, or in a pit orchestra scenario where dedicated stand space doesn't exist.

The high-tech plastic construction is the right material choice for this application: it's light enough to not register as added weight in the bell, and it's formulated specifically to avoid scratching or chemically reacting with the lacquer and silver plate finishes common on brass instruments. The trade-off for that compact, lightweight design is stability — this is not the stand you use when you need to leave the horn unattended in a live environment where it might be bumped. It's a working musician's convenience tool, designed to earn its place in a gig bag by being genuinely invisible until the moment it's useful. For trumpet and cornet players who already own a proper floor stand at home and just need something portable, this does exactly that job.
