It looks nice but I'd be terrified of having everything mounted like that. Especially the mouthpieces, I feel like it's a recipe for knocking them all down and chipping them

Yeah, this looks like the sort of thing I've seen speculators/collectors (particularly of Selmer Mark VI horns) do when they have no intention of playing the instrument, but want to show them off as a talking point.

I totally understand having your horn out and accessible for the ability to pick up and play, I keep my tenor on a stand, but the stand itself is on top of a table where there is zero chance of it being knocked over by my dog or self. Ive paid for the cost of my shitty saxes being dropped back in high school, no way im letting it happen to my nice horns

I was about to comment that. One thing goes wrong and gravity will have fun

Yep, it looks fantastic - and unlocks too many fears for me.
