I play in a senior citizens band (New Horizons) in Iowa City, Iowa and
will pass along one of the adaptations that one of our band members has
come up with for holding her bass clarinet. She went to a music store
that handles primarily guitar stuff and bought a guitar stand. It is the
type to hold the accoustic type guitars, is light and stable and works
quite well. Cost about $18.00. Might be worth looking into.
