Will this stand hold an Alto Flute?

I think it is too large and heavy to balance on the flute peg. I am unsure whether you could you one of the other pegs. As the other answers stated, you could purchase an interchangeable alto flute peg.

I believe Hercules offers an alto flute peg for separate purchase. The alto peg can be used with this stand (the pegs are interchangable). But you might prefer to purchase the Hercules alto flute stand, which also has separate peg holes for flute and piccolo but puts the alto flute in the center for added stability. Hercules DS562BB Alto Flute Stand is currently available of Amazon (Dec 3, 2014).

It *can*, but I wouldnt. The peg is too narrow, and the flute wobbles. Having said that, the base is heavy enough to keep it upright, but the wobbling makes me uncomfortable. It'd be too distracting to have on stage or in a pit with me. Someone else might be able to suggest a different peg; most (all?) Hercules pegs are interchangeable.

I have this stand and I think it would work well for a banjo. It worked for my old Ovation guitar (which had the rounded back) and it works with my new guitar. The tongs might stick out a bit, but that would not hinder it from working well.

The case is sturdy, but the main part of the stand fits in there pretty snuggly and once you add the base it is a tight fit. The folder would probably fit just fine but I don't think the flute would fit in the case. The main part of the stand is very heavy and quite substantial. Obviously this is a good thing from a quality standpoint. But it is a very heavy stand. I have been thinking about trying to get a different case simply so it has a shoulder strap and is a little easier to move around. But then again, I am also lugging a bassoon.

It will work with any regular hi hat stand. Something like this would work fine: Gearlux Double-Braced Adjustable Hi-Hat Cymbal Stand

Though I don't know the dimensions of a flute case, but the metal plate is quite big and heavy, and the case seems to support it without any problem. So probably you can add not specially heavy or big things to it.

It can be. The stand is definitely heavy enough to hold the oboe without it falling over but keep in mind that pegs are designed to fit a flute and are more narrow than the end of the oboe so the oboe may fall slightly to one side. I used it for straighter bore shakuhachi flutes which are 18-24 in in length

Yes. The stand is a little unsteady for me though, so I'm going to wall mount it. It kind of rocks back and forth, especially if you have a heavy razor. It holds my Merkur Futur; but the weight of the razor make the stand even less steady.

This stand holds my violins and mandolins. It might fit a viola but not a cello. I recommend you to see whether they make a larger one. I find it rugged enough for my purposes and am quite satisfied with it.

For sure. I have a Moog Source, which has similar dimensions to the Little Phatty, that i use on my stand. it works good on both the top or bottom. I also have a Moog Opus III (which is bigger) and that works fine on this stand as well.

It depends on how wide the instrument is. If you measure it I can let you know.

It should work perfectly for that. I love this stand. It's solid and stable, unlike most portable music stands.

I used mine to hold my ukulele, and it works fine. The hooks can be turned so that they will fit all sizes of instruments.

I believe the HOHNER GOLDEN MELODY is the standard 4 inches long. This harp holder will accommodate up to 4.25" x 1", so yes it will work.

It will hold my Arban Trumpet manual. A bit late but unavailable for answering. Hope this does help.

The flute and the alto flute seem to have the same foot joint, however the length and shape of the alto flute might necessitate a longer neck on the stand in order to accommodate balance problems. Hope this helps.

It's identical to the flute/clarinet peg. All the Hercules stands I've gotten come with identical flute/clarinet pegs and can be interchanged with other stands.
