The Yamaha CS8W Double-Braced Boom Cymbal Stand combines stable support with precise, flexible cymbal positioning. Its 16.9" boom provides extended reach, while the Step Free Tilter allows smooth, continuous cymbal-angle adjustment. A Hinged Boom Tilter Clamp secures the boom arm from three sides for firm, repeatable positioning, and the Quick Release Nut simplifies cymbal installation. Yamaha's Sound Enhanced Cymbal Washer provides two options for adjusting cymbal response, while the retractable boom converts the CS8W for straight-stand use and more compact transport.
