I like this 24” Standard Polybandstand from https://polybandstand.com/#bandstands
[url]https://polybandstand.com/#bandstands
But this company is on shut down.
I also like the $49 price.
Anyone know of other suppliers with a similar product and good price?
I only need 5 stands.

Do you happen to know how long they've been shut down? As some indication of how long before they might open again, since there's no indication on the website.

Yeah, I saw that before I posted. Not the question I asked.

I do not know how long. Just found the page in the last day or so.
I called and emailed with no reply.

Back in March, they had this message up:
I get the feeling they're a really small operation...
EDIT: Some cursory googling doesn't turn up any info on the company, but (based on results from The Wayback Machine) it looks like they've been around a while.
Whitbey, if you don't need the stands right away, you might want to give 'em a week or two. Otherwise, the Humes and Berg "SWING-IT" stands look to be somewhat similar.
WE WILL BE CLOSED 3/11 - 3/19 FOR SPRINGBREAK VACATION

I have the Humes& Berg and they look very similar.
There aren't enough different pictures on the Polybandstand site to see what they really look like.

They're OK but I have the short ones and nobody likes reading so far away.
These are one piece, the desk is attached and folds with it.
What I really want is just a front that hides a Manhasset.

You use pants for one of these:

Polybandstand is going to be open soon. They are going to get me 5 - 24" white stands in a month. They are upgrading some equipment and are still not full speed for a while.
They responded faster then the place that was open.
A story of the slowest.
Around 1975 when I was still in High School I ordered a Miraphone mouth piece from the music store. Never showed up. Until…. About 1993. The music store had changed hands twice. I just happen to be at the music store looking at sheet music and a box appeared from UPS. They opened the box as it was from Germany and in the box was the mouthpiece I ordered. I overheard this and told my friend the owned the store about the order. He gave me the mouthpiece. So remember; when someone tells you the music biz is slow, know that it is normal and 18 years is slow.

A group I play in recently ordered from TatiHouse / musicstandbanners.com
While not at all a traditional big-band style stand, it looks pretty good. Use it with whatever stand you want... I guess except for that double-wide above.
Being cloth, it folds up and is very lightweight to lug around (fits in my gig bag next to the slide).

Those banners look like they're not very compatible with stand lights.

Nor perhaps trombone slides held near-horizontally?

Good morning,
Just a note to let you know that www.polybandstand.com is not closed. Not sure who told you that?
The 32" is preferable for adults and older students and musicians!
Have a beautiful day!
