ABSTRACT:
A stand for supporting a musical instrument, such as a sousaphone, tuba horn or other large instrument, in playing position for use by children too small to normally handle such instruments. The stand has an upright standard with a parallelogram mechanism mounted near the upper end thereof, which mechanism is spring tensioned to counter-balance the weight of the horn or other instrument placed thereon, so that the horn may be raised and lowered substantially, with a minimum of effort on the part of the player, thereby enabling the horn, if it is a Sousaphone, to be brought into position around a musician who may be seated in a chair. If the horn is a tuba, it may be conveniently positioned in front of the musician. Regulating mechanism is provided to properly tension the spring to counterbalance horns having different weights. Horn engaging mechanisms are provided to engage the horn and hold it in playing position. A crank mechanism is provided to properly tilt the musical instrument to the proper degree so the instrument will occupy the proper position.
