Stagg WIS-A45 Foldable Stand for Flute or Clarinet

PERFECT, good sturdy product. My Son's oboe is safe on it. He has had so many near misses. Or he has broken the reed at church because he is swinging it around. Now his oboe has a home. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR OBOE and Clarinet will fit it. Easy to transport as well

Considering the price this is a great, sturdy product that does the job keeping my flute safe and handy for practice sessions. It fold easily and light enough to pack/transport.

Excellent item

Comes in a box, is necessarily heavy, and requires you to screw it together (no tools required); which is simple enough. I was surprised that the cone section was metal, thinking it would be soft and protective, and although I have no complaint - had I designed it, I think I would have probably covered areas of contact with something soft. This is an inexpensive product which does a basic but essential job. I used to free stand my clarinet in between uses and knocked it over a number of times, on one occasion breaking a new mouthpiece that I just paid £70 for. So a stand is a good idea, get one, especially if you are using a quality instrument and want to keep it in one piece. Look at other options, but for a budget solution, this ticks the box and I have no reason to give it a bad score. Recommended 9/10

This is a great stuff! At last I have always wanted one! I kept fed up with every time before I started to play, I had to setting it up and then when I finished playing with the Clarinet, packing it up in the box and keep it safe. Got this product, so I can play it straight away and put it away with out any packing! Make sure the room is dirt free! This product is a good value from Stagg, well made and high quality, very well balanced when putting the Clarinet on the stand, it will not fall which I am quite impressed. When I was trying to find a stand and I wasn't looking for a "high-end product" because any stand does not need any high wearing as it is only just standing still and resting for the Clarinet or Flute.

As innocent internet consumers we often purchase with undue trepidation when confronted by a new name or product. So it was with baited breath that I awaited delivery of what I hoped was not yet another knee jerk 'bargain buy'. I need not have worried. I have various Hercules stands for guitars and one for my tenor and there is no doubt they are substantial pieces of kit... if a little on the heavy side. So my immediate reaction when the postman thrust the parcel into my eager hands was, "It's a bit on the light side, innit?" Well, yes it is when compared to a heavier stand... so what? The only relevant question is 'does it do the job?' and if it does, then the reduction in tonnage is a most welcome plus for the peripatetic horn blower. The build quality is a tad less robust than the Hercules - but then as the Hercules is a tad over-engineered I guess that makes the Stagg spot on. It has an adjustable bell rest, for alto or tenor, and a nice sized knob to screw the upright to the well splayed tripod foot and goes together well. I have Stagg guitar cases for a Strat and Yamaha G623 - both well made still going strong after many years service and I am pleased to say this stand is of like quality. Of the two sax stands I think I prefer the Stagg - and not just because at 10 quid inc. p&p it is half the price of the Hercules - but because it is slightly quicker/easier to assemble/disassemble and is a simple but aesthetically pleasing object in itself.

Used for clarinet really great price superb quality excellent

I was worried about ordering this because of the comments about it not being suitable for a flute but I took the risk thanks to a measurement provided in another review. "The size of the spike that the flute slides onto is 16.5mm in dia,hope this helps." Our flute sits on it absolutely fine and it is stable. Since the flute has been out on the stand at home(next to the music stand) daughter is now playing and practising much more regularly. When it was in the case it was 'out of sight, out of mind' or she couldn't be bothered to get it out. I bought the stand on the advice of her flute teacher and she was spot on, my daughter is playing more often again at home now. Good news for up and coming gradings!
