The model # is 14945 I think they actually call it "King Size" (maybe they should call it BAT-sized)

9/24 **update**: got a great price on the small one but still need a 14945 for my new-to-me big ass Holton, so looking for at least one of the large very nice K&M stands.....or a tip on where to shop

I'm sure you've seen this: https://www.thomannmusic.com/km_14945_k ... aender.htm

but with shipping and import fees... yeah, I'd be looking stateside. I'll keep my eye out for ya.

Thomann won't ship to the states. K&M flipped my enquiry to a stateside distributor who said they won't sell to me, said I could get it from any number of music stores....without naming a single one. They gave me three e-commerce references, two were camera sites. One of the three listed it, out of stock, 6-10 weeks estimated delivery.

It's probably one of the ones you checked, but I found it at B&H Photo, but it's a special order and not cheap: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... size.html/

I think I got mine from them back in the pre-tariff days when it was a lot cheaper. If you can swing the price, might be worth a call to verify they can get it and by when.

Not what you're looking for, but this might serve as an interim solution: https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/denve ... BKkzgMhvdh

B&H Photo is pretty legit. I've bought a few things from them. One thing to keep in mind is that they are observantly Jewish and ordering is disabled on Shabbat and major Jewish holidays.

I placed an order with Thomann on September 10 and received it September 18. Tariffs paid online prior to delivery through UPS. The only additional hassle was that signature was required on delivery, which meant heading to a local Staples store to pick up the package when I missed the home delivery attempt the day prior.

yeah well here's what they e-mailed me the very next day (I am in Colorado USA)

Sounds like like it's a K&M restriction and not a Thomann restriction. That might limit getting anything from them through other vendors as well.

Both B&H and their main competitor, Adorama, have been branching out beyond camera equipment for a few years now. Both are great companies, and Adorama is usually the first place I look after my local camera store.

Both are also closed on all Jewish holidays, not just the major ones.
