Re: extended floor peg for bass clarinet?

I made a longer peg for use when standing. I used 9/32 drill rod It's a little larger (.28125") than 7mm (.2755") and was a snug fit but worked fine in both my LeBlanc and Rienouour Bass clarinets and is a lot more available in the US than metric. I also got a 36" length of .281" (9/32) pultruded carbon fiber rod It appears to be as stiff as the steel rod but is considerably lighter. Its more costly than a metal rod ($20.49 from goodwinds.com) Not including shipping. For an end cap I used something called a vacuum cap from the hardware store. You can also use one of the small toy "Superballs" from a "Dollar" store. Drill it partway through for a snug fit.
