Hercules DS561B Basson/Bass Clarinet Stand

Very durable and the most affordable stand for a bassoon on Amazon. I was very impressed to have gotten a stand for a bassoon. I have used it during a practice and I felt like the bassoon was safe and convenient to grab once I needed it. I highly recommend this stand as it will last you. I decided to also by the stand bag as the bassoon stand was bit on the heavier side and awkwardly shaped which is understandable as it’s a meant for holding a heavy and long instrument. Overall this is a definite buy if you play the bassoon it comes in sooo handy.

I purchased this for a low-c bass clarinet. It works well, my only complaint/suggestion to the manufacturer is a rubber retaining strap, the kind that is on some guitar stands would be included or as and option. I think this would significantly reduce the chances of knocking the instrument off the stand. For now, the neck strap wraps around ok.

Very well made and sturdy. The best one I could find out there. Wish it had some kind of strap to secure it even more, but definitely does the job.

If anyone is curious, yes, it WILL hold an alto clarinet as well as a bass clarinet. It doesn't fold up as small as I wish it would, so I won't worry about taking it to rehearsals (where I switch back and forth between the alto and the bass), but it will be very helpful for concerts. Just don't extend the top if you need to use it for the alto.

This bassoon stand is pricey, but worth it. It feels very strong and durable. My bassoon feels very stable and secure on it. It folds up very compactly for transport. It is a bit heavy, which is good for holding the bassoon, but adds significant weight when you're traveling with it.

Nice stand for large instruments. Legs provide good footprint for stable hold of the instrument. Stand came quickly and was easy to assemble and move around while being pretty cost effective.

I’ve used Hercules stands for years, previously using a set for my saxophones, and I got this one because I started becoming more active on bass clarinet. The adjustable arm makes it super easy to rest a low C bass clarinet and recently come to find that it also supports contrabass clarinets as well. It looks a funky at first, but the stand is stable holding up my paperclip. It also folds easily so I can carry it in a drawstring bag. One recent caveat that I’ve found is that - maybe it’s a natural consequence of using it with my paperclip, the base area that holds the spring part has worn out a little so the spring isn’t held in it’s nook when I rest my contra. The arm still has another support below it so it’s lean is limited and won’t fall over, but was initially disappointing to find out. However, the stand still does well in holding my low clarinets.

A real professional gear. Recommend any of their stands

pratique, solide, stable facile a plier et transporter un peu lourd.

guter Halt sehr Stabil
