Recommendation on instrument stands

[SimonettiTubaCollection]

I am looking for some stands for the V&E Simonetti Historic Tuba Collection for tubas/sousaphones/euphoniums. We have so many different types of stands but most makers don't make them anymore. We have recently acquired a Hercules and a K&M sousaphone stand but are looking for other brands to get some stands from. Any ideas? What are some stands you like? Thanks!

What an amazing collection !
And making wooden stands by a local carpenter, kinds of shelves ? It will be easier to clean and it will be safer for your instruments.
Something like that from www.wengercorp.com:

Interesting question! Most people here use stands for holding the horn during practice or between sessions, but they would not be trying to create a public display.

In addition to the examples above, this stand from Wenger offers more options for display, which might help show off some horns better:

We have the same idea but you had in the first, Mr Werden.
It's the same in action :

But it costs a lot of money...

Just For Brass have stands that hold a tuba or euphonium (bell down) for display. If they're not still available, I think these would be pretty easily made in your own shop. These are called "Rok Stands for Tuba and Euphonium"

I made one of these a while back... it works very well and was easy to make.

Thank you all for the suggestions! We were looking for cheaper display options under $100 since we do have a lot of instruments. We do have quite a few of those bell down displays and are looking for someone who's willing to make them for cheaper.
