Testimonials
“I use a double peg with a base made from heavy steel, and painted black. I have had these pegs for over 20 years, and they are as sturdy and attractive now as they were when I purchased them. I have a triple peg in my office that holds three antique clarinets, and I also own a bass clarinet stand - which holds either my bass clarinet or basset horn during lessons. In fact, I soon became irritated when the students would swipe the stand for use with the orchestra, so I purchased a second stand for the university!”

“I ALWAYS use the sturdiest instrument stand possible. I love using the Herb Blayman stands. They weigh a ton, but are worth schlepping around. They have a very small footprint, and are rock solid. I have seen countless episodes where people using other types of stands with legs or what-have-you, get things caught on them or trip on them and boom!”

“I have been using a Blayman stand that holds a bass clarinet + 4 soprano clarinets. It never, never, never, absolutely never falls over and holds lots of things besides what I use it for. It is safe, easy to work with, allows FAST changes from one instrument to another, etc. Herb Blayman makes his bass clarinet stand to have two wings. Each wing can have a number of attachments. I have an E-flat peg and three B-flat pegs, but he also has flute pegs, oboe pegs, etc… So in the space of about 1 foot square, I have a bass clarinet and 4 clarinets. His stands are not cheap and they weigh a ton, but they serve the purpose for which they were designed quite nicely.”

“I bought my Blayman stand because my piccolo once slid off my lap while I was playing my flute! I like the stability of the base, the flexibility - I have pegs for alto flute, flute and piccolo - and the simple, elegant design. All three of my instruments stand at exactly the same height, and the pegs unscrew easily for packing up. Every flutist who does some doubling should have one.”
