Re: Stands for bass clarinet

Hi davyd

I play with 3 groups, 2 of which I require all 4 instruments - mandolin, mandola, clarinet and bass clarinet. One does music from baltic, scandinavian and klezmer genres and the other is even further reaching including klezmer, celtic, American, Canadian and French folk music. I'm a great admirer of Andy Statman who began playing bluegrass mandolin, then discovered the clarinet and is now superb on both instruments. I'll never be in his class having started so on woodwinds so much later in life and have had a professional career outside of music which has fortunately enabled me to afford the quality of instruments which far exceeds my skill level! But I love playing all these instruments and all these varying genres. And best of all my fellow musicians value my contribution to the overall musical envelope.

Whatever, it's both figuratively and literally a pain carting around all these instruments and trying to find space on a stage to keep these instruments stable and secure on their separate stands. Hence the search for an ideal solution with one lightweight but stable and secure stand which will hold these diverse (but expensive) instruments within easy reach for quick changeovers.

Cheers, Danny
