Subj: Re: [kl] Bass Clarinet Stands

The current Woodwind & Brasswind catalog lists three commercial bass clarinet
stands. You can save some money if you make your own. The three are fairly
pricey -- Blayman ($140), Konig & Meyer ($89.50) and Grow with Me ($79). There
is a picture of the Konig & Meyer on page 111 of the current catalog (you can
view it at their website if you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader). WW&BW has their
entire catalog online.

I have the K&M stand. It weighs a ton, is awkward to carry (particularly if you
are also schlepping a bass clarinet, a soprano (clarinet, that is) or two and
maybe a sax, and takes up some space when assembled but it is built to withstand
a small thermonuclear device and works quite well. Both it and the Blayman can
be used as bassoon stands. (In fact, that may be their original design intent.)

Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
