I made one using a microphone stand and a U-shaped tool hook. I screwed
the tool hook into a small piece of wood, and used a small electrical clamp
(for attaching conduit to a wall) to attach that assembly to the shaft of
the stand. The instrument rests on its peg (rubber tip required), slightly
inclined toward the mic stand, and is cradled just below the neck by the
tool hook. It worked very well when used for quick changes between bass
clarinet and bari sax in a pit band last summer. You may have to adjust
where the hook grabs the horn on a Selmer, due to its register mechanism; I
have a Noblet.
