Currently, I have 2 trumpets and a cornet, one day, I'll get a flugel horn to complete my collection, and this stand will be perfect to be able to have them all out together on stand. This setup feels more sturdy than the single cornet stand that I have already. And whilst it's good to have a separate stand for each instrument, it gets cumbersome when having to deal with the full set. This stand strips down easily, though not quite as nice as the type that fit into the bell of the instrument, the triple posts more than make up for that. Once I purchase a good flugel horn, and a case for all three instruments, it should suit my needs perfectly when I need to have multiple instruments at once.
