Re: FHRED or BHOB

I guess I'm not able to send the photo. Perhaps it's helpful just to know that if you, or some one you know is handy, it's possible to make a FHRED-like device. The tricky part was finding a way to attach it to the clarinet, since it doesn't have a ring like an English Horn. My teacher used an alligator clip (the black ones, used to bundle thicker stacks of paper), threading one end of the part you squeeze through the metal post of the device and allowing the other end free, so that you can open and close the clip, but it is still firmly attached to the post. The alligator clip is attached about 1 inch below the top end of the post. The top end of the post has a rubber stopper that rests against the clarinet. The rest of the device is essentially a long threaded rod, with an oval-shaped linkage to another threaded rod (this allows you to adjust the height) and, at the very bottom, a black rubber cap so the post grips the chair it rests against when in use. I hope that helps!
