The New Bass Sax Stand Has Arrived<\/h3>\n

This story picks up where Part 1<\/a> left off. The new bass saxophone stand that Andreas Kaling<\/a> designed has arrived from Germany.<\/p>\n

Note: All photos, unless otherwise noted, are by M. Margison.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Photo by: H. Kahlke<\/h6>\n

My dog Buddy acted as a secondary Customs inspector and wanted to inspect the package prior to opening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was one very well taped up box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing moved during transit. There was not a peanut out of place!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Andreas filled the extra space very well\u2014unfortunately not with a “directions for assembly” sheet. This combined with my lack of spatial ability made assembling the stand way more challenging for me than it would for the average person.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Did someone say peanuts?” Yes, he did actually eat one before we could get it away from him.<\/p>\n

Buddy is 14 years old and is suffering from a form of doggy senility. He also has the beginnings of renal failure. Oh, and BTW, those are not tumors on his side; they are fat pockets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’re already beginning to see my spatial retardation. I’m trying to figure out where this will go. I can’t picture it in my head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oops, I suddenly find myself reading the packing material. Too bad it’s the sports section. I really don’t care for sports, no matter what language it’s in. \":mrgreen:\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow! Talk about lots of bubble wrap. This is really well packaged.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I finally find box that contains the main part of the stand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah yes, now the spatial retardation is really becoming obvious. Yes Helen, the thin pole has to slide into the larger one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, but where is this supposed to go? I don’t get it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n

I decided to start from the bottom up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s coming together now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point I’m guesstimating where the best position for the lower support brace would be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Project complete! Yeh Helen! Well done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cymbal stand alone is nearly as heavy as my bass. I’m guessing it to weigh nearly 15 lbs, but I’d have to put it on a scale to say for sure. (BTW, the bass is 18 lbs according to one of Buescher’s ads of the day<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since these last 2 photos were taken I have made some adjustments to the height of the lower support brace and to the positioning of the feet of the cymbal stand. Both of these changes\u00a0have made the stand more stable, and both are visible in the photos that will be presented in the third, and final part,\u00a0in\u00a0this Series about Andreas’ bass stand.<\/p>\n

While the idea\u00a0for the stand came from Andreas<\/a>, he worked together with a metal designer who helped turn his ideas into reality.\u00a0Ferdy Rose<\/a> is the builder of the stand, and the man who helped improve on Andreas’ original ideas.<\/p>\n
