5.0 out of 5 stars Hercules DS561B Stand, October 16, 2010

This stand is by far the best one I've found for the money. It's really solidly built, and has padding in all the right spots. It also accommodates Bass Clarinets with either low Eb or the low C extension. The bottom part that the bell rests on is made of synthetic rubber material that grips the instrument, but does not scratch the instrument. The top section is much wider than it needs to be though, so it's a good idea to rest your bass clarinet on the bell... not on the end peg. This makes it less likely to move around. It also fits Bassoons and some Alto Clarinets.

The Hercules is an excellent bassoon stand. It's rugged, extremely stable, and compact. I've even used it in a pinch for contrabassoon while in the opera pit. It's the best I've seen.

I am a percussionist and have been all my life. But I have also always loved the bassoon. It is the most beautiful instrument in the orchestra. Three months ago I began lessons on the bassoon. I am certain I have done things in my life that were more difficult; I just can't remember right off what they were. At any rate, one learns rather quickly that a stand is indispensable. After checking local and web vendors, I decided to purchase this stand, primarily for the cost. I found it is quite easy to spend considerably more for this item. It works well for my bassoon, however it is now holding my wife's bass clarinet at the community theater where we are currently presenting "Oliver". I recommend this stand for its security, ease of handling, and cost.
