John -
I have the Hercules stand, which may the one to which you refer. It is heavy steel construction with a very wide-spread base. My euphonium rests in it on a 60 degree angle, and I am confident that the horn won't fall. My trombone sits on a stand next to the euphonium. I do have two dogs, and I guess I'm lucky that they never go into the music room except when I go in to practice.
