Re: Stands for bass clarinet

A former repair person built me one many years ago and it fits into my Wiseman case where the Bb clarinet would go. I bought a small snare drum tripod, he welded a piece to the far end of one of the legs so the peg would fit in and not slip out. Then he made a swivel C so the bass can lean against it on the top of the rod that the snare drum would sit on. It folds nicely and is pretty secure. I do tie my swab around it when I leave the stage so it can't be knocked off if someone walks into it by mistake and tips it. The secret is to find a "small" tripod, most I've seen recently are larger and heavy. You can probably see it in a picture I've recently posted on my facebook page titled John Williams, showing all the clarinets I have to play in this weeks concert of his music. It's on my I phone, I just e-mailed it to you. Let me know if you got it. I don't know how to put that pic on this web page from my i phone, sorry, older generation. I was proud I was able to send it to your e-mail address, I think. :-) ESP eddiesclarinet.com

PS. it's possible to make one out of a folding music stand but it won't be as strong as the one I have because the folding stands are not as strong but it will work fine unless someone knocks into it of course.
