Spider Stands

Spider Stands™ and interchangeable toppers for trumpet, piccolo trumpet and flugelhorn, including the LED-lit Broadway models for dark stages and pits.

SPIDER STAND™ FOR TRUMPET

As Hirschman Mutes did with our plungers, buzz mute, and PEP (pixie) mute, we started by looking at a product category in need of improvement and asking: “How can we make the best-ever product for today’s trumpet players?” We’ve tried just about every trumpet stand on the market. Three-legged stands tip over. Metal stands are heavy and take up valuable space on stage and in your case. Some stands that store inside the bell are extremely heavy. Ultralight stands leave you wondering whether your horn is about to hit the floor. Our starting point was a discontinued six-legged stand and the result is the new Hirschman Mutes Spider Stand™—one that keeps everything musicians loved (compactness, lightweight, stability) while solving issues players have tolerated for years.

The Hirschman Mutes Spider Stand™ for Trumpet includes the stand with an adjustable-height Trumpet Topper.

Hirschman Mutes Spider Stand for Trumpet

Built Stronger

Every component was redesigned for greater strength, stability, and durability, and the feet are larger and grippier.

Adjustable Height

Dial in the proper fit for E♭ through B♭ trumpets, flugelhorns, and rotary-valve trumpets.

Soft Touch, Better Fit

Soft rubber topper and leg inserts won’t damage your horn like plastic-feeling contact surfaces, and the longer, taller leg inserts accommodate a vastly wider range of bell diameters.

Easy to Use

A hex-shaped center post that is easier to grip and turn, conventional “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey” operation (the reverse of the original design), and a bottom coin/key slot that makes the stand easy to open if overtightened.

Swappable Toppers

Toppers for Flugelhorn and Piccolo Trumpet are available (sold separately). Playing on dark stages? See the LED-lit Broadway Spider Stand™.

BROADWAY SPIDER STAND™ FOR TRUMPET

The Hirschman Mutes Broadway Spider Stand™ for Trumpet includes the stand with the adjustable-height, LED-lit Broadway Trumpet Topper, designed for performance on dark stages or in orchestra pits, such as those in Broadway shows, theater productions, and touring productions.

During a stage blackout, a trumpet player may need to put the instrument down quickly but have difficulty seeing the stand. The Broadway Trumpet Topper addresses this problem with a faint blue LED built into the very top of the stand.

Hirschman Mutes Broadway Spider Stand for Trumpet with LED topper

Find It in the Dark

A faint blue LED built into the very top helps you locate the stand during a stage blackout without distracting the audience, conductor or other players. It sits flush with the top, so your bell rests on soft rubber and never touches the LED.

Simple and Sealed

The on/off switch is reached through a small opening on the side with a finger or the eraser end of a pencil. The electronics and battery are permanently sealed inside (not user serviceable) and provide hundreds and hundreds of hours of illumination; when the battery is eventually depleted, the topper remains perfectly usable as a standard trumpet topper.

SPIDER STAND™ FOR PICCOLO TRUMPET

BROADWAY TRUMPET TOPPER FOR THE SPIDER STAND™

The Hirschman Mutes Broadway Trumpet Topper is designed for trumpet players who perform on dark stages or in orchestra pits, such as those in Broadway shows, theater productions, and touring productions.

During a stage blackout, a trumpet player may need to put the instrument down quickly but have difficulty seeing the stand. The Broadway Trumpet Topper addresses this problem with a faint blue LED built into the top. The light helps the musician locate the stand in dark conditions while remaining inconspicuous to the audience and other players.

Find It in the Dark

A faint blue LED built into the very top helps you locate the stand during a stage blackout without distracting the audience, conductor or other players. It sits flush with the top, so your bell rests on soft rubber and never touches the LED.

Same Size, Same Feel

Similar in size to the standard Hirschman Mutes trumpet topper, the Broadway version retains the same soft rubber exterior, instrument support, and height adjustability.

Simple and Sealed

The on/off switch is reached through a small opening on the side with a finger or the eraser end of a pencil. The electronics and battery are permanently sealed inside (not user serviceable) and provide hundreds and hundreds of hours of illumination; when the battery is eventually depleted, the topper remains perfectly usable as a standard trumpet topper.
