Well, a few months ago I came on here and asked

"Quick question......Where can I get some more information on these Trumpet Stands, I know I have seen a page in the products section, but I can't find it again, does anyone have the link please, or anywhere else I could get some Info ?.

I really want to get some, but putting "Trumpet Stands" in the search box of google doesn't really help much, so searching for any for sale is a bit of a problem."

Anyway, a few days ago I managed to secure these from fleabay, attached to a rather nice set of 3800's..............

 

And am expecting them to arrive in the next couple of days; Obviously these aren't the same Trumpet Stands as the ones that I believe were made for the later speakers, that the speaker sort of "Hangs" from.

Anyway, as soon as I get them I'm going to get as much info from them as I can, and post it here, as it seems that not much seems to be known about this particular stand other than a Part number that is listed under the 3800 description as "Type 8906007", which is of no use when put into any search engines.

I know it's being a bit of an Anorak, but it's taken 3 years to get some of these.

Mission accomplished.

Cheers Paul

What is to besaid about the trumpet stand.

Was it one and only, or did it come in many sizes ?

Was it aluminum ?

It seems almost impossible to get hold of them today.
I havent seen one for sale in Sweden since I started this hobby.

Wondering if the tool for it could be relocated and somebody could start a small manufatoring of it again....

Everything is possible, the problem will be to make a perfect casting form, which will have to be permanent, to make more pieces, second, the pieces will have to be machined and polished, third, anodized and polished again. Then the speaker mount will have to made and attached to the trumpet stand.

I presume it could be done somewhat economical, if at least 100 pieces was made. But then it would be a copy, and most collectors on the forum wants originals, and selling 50 sets will be nearly impossible

The trumpet stand is cast aluminium, then brushed in a circular motion. So one would have to find the original mould.

Is it definitely cast?

Another method is 'metal spinning' which with the correct  former could give a good result.  Metal spinning is used for all sorts of products like this - from lamps to aircraft parts.  Brushing while still on the lathe would give a perfect finish. A former could be made on a wood lathe quite easily.

I would certainly buy a re-produced trumpet stands, most likely 2 or 3 pairs

for me it wouldnt be worth it spending so much time several years to finally fint a pair on ebay and bid something high,1000 Euros for them, ( Which I asume they will go ro in a couple of years )

You're supposed to be at work today!

Can you see casting marks on the inside then Jacques?  I've not seen original stands - I have another version which look similar.
