Great, super-lightweight music instrument stands that are LIFE-changing for those of us who have to travel with heavy instruments! These are well-made, ingenious innovations that because they are constructed with modular carbon-fiber pieces, are incredibly lightweight! We purchased 4 clarinet pegs and one large bass clarinet stand. I've had them for several years now, and will NEVER go back to the heavy, clunky, hard-to-transport stands of the past. I break down the bass stand and it fits, in pieces, inside my case!! The clarinet pegs are so much flatter than ANY other clarinet peg that it fits inside the instrument, or inside the case. Again, sturdy... even after accidentally stepping on them..they flex, maybe a leg falls off - magnetically attached - and I just pop it back on..and voila! So far, the world has not changed, but THIS is the future of instrument stands!
Gijs is VERY responsive via email and answers any and all questions! He's the designer and builder, and takes these things very seriously. I highly recommend his products!
In my experience, this vendor will stiff you, should you received a defective item.
Executive summary: I ordered a pricey item from this vendor. It took 5 months to arrive. It was damaged and he clearly sent it to me in that damaged condition. The vendor refuses to take any responsibility for the damaged goods that he sent out. And it turns out that he engages in other, dishonest business practices.

Carbon Fiber Bass Clarinet Stand
I have the large stand and it has worked well for several years now. It doesn't fit in the bore of my particular bass (Selmer 37), but I was able to have a friend sew a bag for me. I appreciate how lightweight it is!

Thanks Lori, when the tubes do not fit inside your bass clarinet, they still might fit between the upper and lower joint in the case. At least that was the case with my (narrow) German system bass.

Replacement parts arrived promptly
I needed some replacement parts due to them being misplaced and WoodWindDesign responded quickly to my request and I had the replacements within a few days and for a very fair price for shipping to another country (UK)! At all stages, the standard of service I received was great.
I own a bassoon and a contrabassoon stand designed by them and both are of exceptional quality and unbelievably lightweight. I would recommend WoodWindDesign to any professional, or amateur musician both for their products and for their service. Thank you WoodWindDesign!

WoodWindDesign low A baritone saxophone stand
I have been using the WoodWindDesign low A baritone saxophone
stand for the past year and a half. This turned out to have been perhaps the best accessory that I have purchased for my baritone.
This stand has opened up a new practicality and ease of function in a sax stand. So light, it fits right in side the bell without virtually no added weight. It is easy to assemble and provides a very stable support for the horn.
I have had various stands since first receiving my Mark VI baritone in 1964: Hamilton stand (with the bell ring 👎🏻); LaVoz, not bad, but heavy and Hercules (buoy and not comfortable to transport). The WoodWindDesign stand has been far and above any other stand I have seen or used.

Very lightweight
Most conventional baritone sax stands are heavy.
Since I do not have a car, this problem was pronounced.
This stand is very light and easy to carry.
The design is cool too.
I highly recommend it.

Best stands I've used
I have a tablet stand, tenor and bass trombone stands, and a bass trumpet stand from WoodWindDesign. They are all fantastic! They pack down small and fit with the rest of my mutes/accessories without adding a lot of weight. They're very stable and durable. I get compliments and questions about them in every group I've played with. They also match my carbon fiber trombones very well. Can't say enough good things about these.
Great product (barisax-stand), very light. Fits in the sax, no extra bag needed anymore.

The lightest-weight boom stand I’ve found. Disassembled, the stand is very compact, slightly longer than a drumstick. Highly recommended to place reflector or glow-in-the-dark nail polish at the segment ends, though, to prevent accidentally separating the segments when you only meant to adjust. When that happens, you need two hands to reassemble, which is a pain mid-set. Easily avoided with reflector tape. The rubber components are extremely temperature-sensitive, and will expand and contract dramatically. I keep a glass of ice water handy for when the stoppers expand too big to be removed/inserted into the segments. I used to keep pliers, but ice works better.

HI Rebecca, Thanks for the review and feed back. I do not understand completely what you mean with heat sensitivity of the rubber components. Could you mail me about that to look for a solution? Needng Ice water does not seem to be very convenient when using amps etc.

The bari stand is very light and comes apart enough that I can fit it inside my bari case. Its very convenient to have this bari stand with me at all times without having to think about packing it separately or about all the extra weight of other bari stands I've used. It's an excellently designed product and I look forward to using it for years to come.

Very lightweight and fit inside the instrument
The stand is very lightweight and fits inside the barisax which makes it easy to transport. There is a learning curve to setting it, but once you have it down, it becomes pretty easy to do so. The stand is so lightweight though, with the barisax on it, I am a little afraid it might get knocked over more easily. This has never happened though.

Hi Carl, thanks for the review. Indeed there is a learning curve, but as a woodwind player, you;re bound to be used to practicing ;-) >
And again indeed, it seems too light to be stable, but that is only a feeling. The four legs combined with the centered weight of the instrument make an extremely stable combination.
Of course nothing is completely fool proof, so look out for that elderly, very friendly but a bit clumsy colleague in the orchestra pit!

The bass clarinet stand is by far the best one you can get if you travel a lot because it is by far the one with has almost no weight at all. I highly recommend it!

The plastic part breaks easily. There is no warranty. It's too expensive for the quality.

Hi Tiago, sorry to hear that you are not content with your bass clarinet stand. I hope you have been using the stand to your content until the moment the lower support broke. You mailed to me about this problem a few days ago. The order is from November 2020, that's 3 years old. I do not feel that it is a material problem after a few years of service. The plastic part that broke does not break from itself, When it seems to break without impact, it is very probable that the impact was before. someone could have stepped on it, without you noticing it. The part is available at a reasonable price in my opinion, € 25. Indeed shipment to Canada is expensive.
I can try to ship it with a "nomal" order to a customer in Canada or US, and ask to ship the part to you with domestic Post to avoid the intercontinental costs for you. Let me know if that is acceptable to you.

They sell very clever products. The bass clarinet stand is great, small and lightweight.
