Are you talking about a support for the instrument while playing? If so, I know of a stand made by a guy in Texas named Bruton. Sorry I don't have any contact info on this for this guy -but if I find it I will pass it on. He makes the stands himseof. They are extremely heavy duty. I think once that he told me he uses the springs from car hoods in them to hold the horn up!! He also makes a sousaphone stand called the sousa-cradle that is extremely well put together.
I beleive this guy lives around Troy Texas - he may still be the band director at Troy High School.
If I was buying a stand - which I do not use one, I would buy one from Mr Bruton.
