I am trying to find a stand that will hold my Bb, A and Eb clarinet all together. Recommendations?

...so that if it's knocked over, three clarinets fall down instead of just one?
I'd buy three individual (K&M) stands. Probably cheaper than a "biggie".

I have the Hercules 3-peg stand (comes with 2 pegs for clarinet/flute and 1 for piccolo). I switch out the piccolo peg for another clarinet peg and use that. Works fine for me.

I use a modified K&M double oboe/cor stand http://www.howarth.uk.com/pic.aspx?pic=./wo/ObKMDouble.jpg&pid=34132 and added a central peg to it so it can hold either:
two oboes and a cor anglais,
two oboes and an oboe d'amore,
an oboe, oboe d'amore and cor,
an oboe and two cors,
oboe, cor and Bb/A clarinet,
oboe, Bb and A clarinet,
oboe, Eb and Bb/A clarinet,
Eb, Bb and A clarinets,
C, Bb and A clarinets,
Eb, C and Bb/A clarinets,
piccolo (with a special peg that fits into the top of one of the oboe pegs), oboe/cor/d'amore and Eb/C/Bb/A clarinet,
or any combination of three instruments.
When using the pegs for oboe d'amore or Eb clarinet I made a thick high density foam spacer that fits on the peg to make a thicker base so the peg doesn't stick in the bore.
Never had a disaster with it yet and I've used it since 1998.

If this is for studio use rather than as a piece of portable kit, I use a thick slab of natural tree (Turpentine Gum, Syncarpia Glomulifera), roughly oval in shape, waxed and polished, with 3 dowels glued into it. I had a woodworking friend turn up some trumpet shapes in nicely figured wood, these fit over the dowels and provide a steadying base for the instruments. It won't fall over unless you bring a dump truck.

I also use the Hercules stand with 2 pegs. I add a spare one when using my Eb or C clarinet.

Another vote for Blayman. The slab that holds 3 pegs is indeed heavy, but does the job on the rare occasions I use it (for Bb/A/C, with the C on an Eb peg).

K&M makes a four-peg base with interchangeable pegs for a wide variety of instruments, including soprano clarinet, Eb clarinet and soprano sax. I've used one for years.
Best regards,

I'd say get the Jeanné stand and pegs. It's just as durable, but a good bit cheaper. It's what I use and it works great. It would take a lot to knock these over.
If you want a lighter base, Valentino makes a lighter 3 peg base that you could use. The Valentino base can be ordered at JL Smith (flute company in Charlotte, NC). I found Weiner had the cheaper prices for the Jeanné stuff.
(I'm not affiliated in any way with Weiner or JL Smith).

I have a two clarinet blayman stand that I adapted for four clarinets--A, Bb, C and Eb--by having two more holes drilled in the empty corners which were then threaded to accept C and Eb pegs. It is rock solid and very stable and holds all four of my soprano clarinets very safely. It also takes up very little space on the floor..........
