Comments on: Instrument stands for doublers: mini-reviews and a wish list http://bretpimentel.com/instrument-stands-for-doublers-mini-reviews-and-a-wish-list/ Saxophone, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, folk and ethnic woodwinds Tue, 15 May 2012 15:55:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Nathaniel Bermanhttp://bretpimentel.com/instrument-stands-for-doublers-mini-reviews-and-a-wish-list/#comment-2602 Nathaniel Berman Wed, 04 Apr 2012 05:40:29 +0000 http://bretpimentel.com/blog/?p=73#comment-2602 I recently played in an extremely dark pit, where the pegs were all but impossible to find for quick switches after looking at my more brightly lit stand. I used glow in the dark spray paint on the tips of the pegs, and it made them much more visible, both due to the slight glow as well as the fact that the translucent paint has a slight white tinge. And, the paint did NOT come off inside my instruments at all, as I had feared it might. It seemed to work equally well on wood and plastic, as well as on one peg I have that is some sort of rubberized material.

They are competitively priced and do ship internationally. I hope you find something that works for you. I often use The Woodwind and the Brasswind here in the US.

Something like the K&M base or one of the Blayman bases should work well, since you buy the pegs separately and can choose whatever you need. Hi Marilyn—thanks for stopping by.

I am now trying to find a combi stand for 2 clarinets and a flute and came across this very useful item. Thanks. There is still no decent stand out there as far as I can find.

I used to have a difficult time locating them in the dark during a show until I put a small ring of neon electrical tape on each of them.I like the fact that they're each small and portable, and that I can position them wherever I want, in any number of possible configurations. I also like that I can use their clarinet stand for oboe or english horn.I agree with your comment on the K&M bass clarinet stand. It's HUGE, and I really wish it was black.Still looking for that perfect bassoon stand... I’ve always been a fan of the K&M individual instrument stands.
