With the intention of making stands that much like A&F drums, the simple design of old marries the engineering and application of the future. The 2 year project involved studying over 100 vintage stands. Diligent work was done to refine the elements they really loved of these old stands while completely redesigning those that just didn’t hold up.

Why Nickel vs. raw brass on all of this?

Nickel was what the finish on all the hardware from early 1900’s and over time takes on this beautiful aged tarnished much like the vintage hardware you see today. Brass is too soft of a metal to sustain the wear and tear of hardware and raw brass would offer too much friction between sliding components.
