RE: Blayman stands are back!

John and Ed,
I certainly can't argue that the Blayman bass clarinet stand is quite secure and is used extensively by professionals --- and the ability to add pegs is nice (I drilled and tapped the base of mine to accept two pegs). But as a frequent doubler/tripler/quadrupler, the K&M is much handier (as it folds and is lighter) which is important to me when I'm also lugging two, three, or even four other horns, plus maybe a music stand and sometimes a bagful of small percussion equipment, from my car to a gig (which could be many blocks from the parking spot). I suppose the ideal solution would be to have both types of stands available. By the way, Larry Bocaner (retired Washington DC National Symphony Orchestra bass clarinetist) makes his own B.C. stand which looked pretty good to me and might be worth investigating.
