Subj: Re: [kl] Another stand question and a case
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 22:00:43 -0400

I use an Amati stand for my bass (a Buffet to low C) -- very wide spread on
the legs, about 5.5 lbs., and it folds up. The case I use is a 5" diameter
by 27" long ripstop nylon case meant for transporting a tripod that I got at
a photography store. I couldn't find the Amati stand, however, when I was
researching the web for this message, but the Hercules DS561B (not the
DS560B) stand looks similar (but with a smaller footprint for the legs). Or
maybe you could find someone who would sell their Amati.

Good luck with your search,
Jeff

Subject: [kl] Another stand question and a case

I may be looking for a bass clarinet stand soon (hopefully). I had a K & M
before. I didn't really like the way it was setup and it was heavy for me.
Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that I can fold up (at least to a
degree) and won't be very heavy. I need something stable. Also, I use a peg
stand and want to be able to keep it where I play it rather than moving it
to put in on the stand (another reason I don't like the K & M). The Hercules
looks good; has anyone here used it and have any comments about it? What
else is good to look at? Do any bass stands come with carrying cases?

This depends on how good my birthday is to me this fall. I want to replace
the
(musty) case before getting a stand, but it depends on funds. For cases, I
like the Pro-Tec case. Other suggestions? My bass is a 1-piece body Bundy
(Eb key on the bell).

Thanks!

Rachel
