Re: Double Stands

FWIW, I have a double Blaymann stand which I modified to hold my C and Eb clarinets as well. Four beasts on one stand for those occasional works that require them. Usually, however, it's just my Bb and A, but the Blaymann stand is sturdy and my clarinets are always safe.

For my Concerto and R13 clarinets, the Hercules stand does not work very well. While it does hold each clarinet securely, the knob at the top often becomes caught in the bore and when I pick the clarinet up, the stand remains attached--not fun for fast changes.

I also carry a K&M folding stand in my Bb bell which I use in wind ensemble gigs. Very easy to set up, secure and frees my hands to mark of switch music between numbers. Doesn't add much weight either.

So, for orchestra, I recommend the Blaymann, pegs may be unscrewed and removed for more convenient carry (I use a small canvas sports bag ) and for band, the K&M stand stored in the bell in your case. Works very well in my softside, lightweight double Yamaha clarinet case.
