Hi again! Just to explain myself further...I am a college student who does
not own a bass clarinet. I'm using the school's Selmer 37. It's a
wonderful horn and I'd love to give it the best stand possible, but
unfortunately the budget is a little tight at the moment. When (and I mean
WHEN not if :) ) I buy my own horn, I'll be sure I've saved enough money to
buy a proper stand as well. Curious to know what the professional bass
clarinettists on this list think: comparison between the Selmer 37 and the
brand new Buffet Prestige low C model...hmmm...-Andrea F. Caccese
