I know of more than one! Go to your local music shop and see if they have
any clarinet stands or any clarinet combo stands. Most of the time, a
clarinet stand is just like a trumpet stand, just longer, thinner, and a
wider base.

It also depends on what you are going to use the stand for. If you travel
with your horn, I'd go for the "Pack-A-Stand" one. I don't know what company
makes it but it's cheap, reliable, and fits into your bell! It's the one I
have, and though I don't recommend using it for daily use or outdoors, it's
a great temp. The problem is it's all plastic and once wind begins to blow
or someone knocks your clarinet, it can fall, mostly because it's really
light, but it works for a general purpose concert setting temp.

The only other company I can think of off the top of my head would be Konig
and Meyer. I also have one of these, and they are all wood pegs and metal
base. They are very stable, strong, and more designed for constant use. I
know there are many more, and sometimes you can find a "sax-clarinet" combo,
"flute-clarinet" combo or "oboe-clarinet" combo, if you double on any of
those.
