Pardon me for changing the subject. First posting from a lurker...Today I
purchased a used bass clarinet (a Selmer, in decent shape, as far as I can
tell) and am really excited to be playing it after 34 years! I play in a
community band (have been playing the Bb for a few years) and will be the
only bass clarinetist, so I intend to practice hard to demonstrate the beauty
of the instrument (well, maybe that won't be for awhile yet *chuckle*).
Anyway, I tried to get a stand for the bass and the Sam Ash store I went to
did not have one. I called Woodwind and Brasswind and the only 2 they had for
the bass were $70 and $89. Having spent most of my extra money on the
instrument itself, I cannot afford those prices right now. Does anyone know
where I might start looking for a more reasonably priced stand, or do I have
any choice in the matter? Thanks for your attention. Back to lurking...
