So I'm PRETTY sure based on my recent google searches that Blayman stands and pegs are a thing of the past.
As someone who owns a blayman stand with multiple holes for instruments, and appreciates it, are there any pegs that are compatible with the stands?
I'd love to add a flute peg to my current stand.
Thanks in advance for whatever I learn as I continue to get older and older and (hopefully not TOO much) stuck in my old ways!

The company and remaining old stock was bought sometime within the past few years. They are reintroducing the bases and pegs with seemingly minor alterations—I would have to think the new pegs will be compatible with the old bases, but I'm sure the company would be happy to confirm. A post on their website from October 3 of this year states they "will have new pegs for Flute, Alto Flute, Bb/A Clarinet, Eb Clarinet, Oboe and English Horn in 3-5 weeks."

I always loved the Blayman pegs and stands and have used them through many types of gigs over the years. I always felt that the instruments was much safer and more secure than with any other pegs that I tried. It has always been well worth it to carry them to gigs despite the bit of weight, since that weight was what kept my instruments secure and safe.

I use these bases and pegs interchangeably with Blayman.

I really like the Valentino Flute/Piccolo peg. The piccolo sits up nice and high, so you're not reaching far down to get it. I've also added a bit of glow in the dark paint to the tip of the pegs so I can see them in the dark.

Years ago I was playing a show in Philadelphia. Had a bunch of instruments, clarinets, saxes, flute- a real haul.
Finished playing and loaded my car with all the instruments and stands.
Drove home, 20 miles going 70mph on the PA turnpike.
WHen I got home, I got out of my car and was horrified; my Blayman stand was on the roof of my car! When I was packing up the car, i put it on the roof, and forgot about it.
By some miracle, that stand didnt fly off. I was nauseas-thinking about how lucky it was that it didnt fly off, smack into someones windshield.
My blayman stands are blessed.

Whoa, Sal, what a story! Thank goodness the weight of the Blayman kept it on the roof.
After packing up once, a friend wasn’t so lucky when he left his piccolo on the roof of his car. Searched the route multiple times, but never recovered it.
