Mounting Prince Alto

First, please check if the bell of your saxophone fits properly into the upper bracket. As it is right now it will fit the bell size of most alto saxophones nicely, but you may own the odd one out. In that case, contact us and we will replace it with a custom stand for free!

The bow support is adjustable to keep it from interfering with keys or protection brackets, but may also be used to slightly alter the angle of your instrument once the stand is mounted. 

This particular stand is designed  to be mounted with the diamond shaped wall-plate straight up, but of course you may deviate if you like. To mount it you can put in the top screw first, straighten it out with one hand, and mark the other holes and put the screws in.

Especially with drywall it is of utmost importance to find a spot that offers solid footing for the screws, and has a stud or beam directly behind it. For stone walls you will have to drill holes  with a ¼ inch drill bit and insert the wall plugs and screws. The little caps are to cover the screws. Put hem on the tip of your forefinger and place them over the screw’s head. Then, with a twisting movement of your finger feel for their proper position over the slot, then just push them in. Use some glue if all else fails.

If you use a cordless drill for the screws, make sure its chuck doesn’t damage the coating.

If for some reason you are not sure how or where to mount it, please contact us or get some professional help!  

To keep the rubber in good shape you could occasionally put a little bit of silicone spray on a soft cloth and give it a gentle rub.
