playing while standing

[carel]

who of you boys and girls, is sometimes playing while standing; with one foot on the pipes-case?
I discovered that I can reach the gear much better.

I have tried this many ways, both with contraptions and without. They only way this can work is that you need to contrived something that allows you to maintain both feet on the ground. This is what the old boys (Doran, McPeake et al) did. Any stick-and-prop thing leads to tremendous fatigue in the standing leg. I know this arrangement may be seen in many old photos and postcards, but I cannot imagine they could maintain that posture for long.

Apologies if a little off-topic. Anyone play in this style, cross legged?

I use the cross-legged position when I need to take a leak.

[PJ]

I can play cross-legged, but not if I want to play regulators.

I usually play while kneeling on the floor. But I have a practice set, so.....

You can see what looks like a saxophone strap, combined with a popping valve.
