This listing is for a TAMA RoadPro Double-Braced Straight Cymbal Stand that’s in very good condition. This two inch area (highlighted with the arrows), is a stationary extension of the tube that doesn’t move in or out, however the additional multiple tube in tube extensions work fine, extending this stand to about 6’ high. This stand works quite well, and is ideal for a variety of settings, although one area of the tube is dented slightly. Regardless, the tube fits easily and perfectly into its adjoining piece, and extends as it should.
