Re: extended floor peg for bass clarinet?

I don't remember because it's been a while since I've measured... is the Selmer also 7mm? I know the Buffet is 7mm, but I know Selmer USA (and Bundy) use a close inch measurement, can't remember if larger or smaller, and at least for a while Selmer Paris used that same size. I've tried mixing and matching a Selmer and Buffet but can't remember if one was too loose or one was too large.

Re the wood peg, my first long peg was made of wood. I recommend adding a ferrule, at least near the end but preferably a few more, down to a bit below where the metal rod reaches. An ugly but functional way to do that is using hose clamps.
Sliding on and off might be nice, but there's no problem putting it on a stand with the long peg (I've done that many times). Unless you're scared of doing that, or your stand doesn't allow it I guess.

I later made one from stainless steel rod and also for a few others. I make them from slightly larger diameter and only turn some length to fit the holder. They are less flexible that way.
