Re: Standing Bass Clarinet Peg

The standard peg is 7mm diameter, so use that diameter where it fits in the receiver.

I'd suggest you use a much wider diameter steel rod for the remainder if it's for use whilst standing as that won't flex as much, so any steel rod over 8mm up to 10mm maximum drilled to take the 7mm section at the top end and then cut the thicker steel rod to the required length. If you find they're a bit short for standing playing, then raise them on a block of wood.

You won't be making any alterations to the existing floor peg nor instrument by doing this. The Wolf Super End Pin should fit onto the end of the larger diameter steel rod provided you don't go over 10mm diameter.

Brass, nickel silver or carbon fibre rod will be far too flexible, as well as far more expensive than steel.
