Re: Bass clarinet peg slipping :(

There is a nice carbon fiber bass peg with a rubber tip on eBay for less than $20. I got one as a backup and it is quite nice. At the same time, I also use a neck strap (an extra long one by Neotech for~$25). If you get one of these, be sure to order one with a snap hook for added security. BTW, the strap has a very comfortable neck cushion.

However, I have found that using both a peg and neck strap at the time gives me an anchor-solid instrument with the four points of contact (peg, strap, thumb, and embouchure). My fingers are very free to do their work.
