Hi, folks. I'm thinking about getting a saxophone stand with an upright peg to hold a clarinet, and I'd like to know if there are reasons not to rest my used wood clarinet on something like this. Most of these stands, even the otherwise-metal ones, seem to use a wooden peg for the clarinet holder (also capable of holding a flute; not an issue in my case).
I'd like to hear what sort of experience people have had with stands like these, whether there may be concern about damage to the inner surface of the clarinet, whether one peg can be trusted to fit any bore diameter, and so forth. I was also wondering if it might be helful to sleeve the peg with terry cloth, both to prevent scraping and to soak up some moisture. Any thoughts?
