Re: Alto Clarinet and Contra-alto clarinet stands.

Contra clarinets, especially the straight ones, are too tall and heavy for any reasonable stand.

A double bass stand might work, but it would need to be modified to hold the bottom securely, to hold the instrument up fairly straight and to strap the upper end securely.

The Quodlibet Sax-On stand, which holds the entire weight of the instrument, might also work. See the thread at http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=277604&t=269885.

I believe there's a tuba stand called the Weight Lifter, but I couldn't find it through Google, among all the actual weight lifting sites.

I bring a blanket and put it over the instrument case to lay it horizontal. If you can borrow the percussionists' table, that always has a rug on top to let you lay down cymbals and tambourines quietly.
