Before you buy, it’s worth considering if you just need a single clarinet stand, or are you going to need a stand which holds another instrument, such as a flute, as well. Either way, you will need a stable stand which has a good solid base or a tripod design. Padded pegs for the instrument to sit on are a good idea, as this prevents your instrument getting scratched. Make sure your stand fits inside your instruments case of gig bag if you frequently travel with your instrument.
Hercules Stands and K&M both have high quality offerings and are about the best available.
Known for their robust construction and innovative designs, the Hercules DS640BB clarinet stand is a solid, heavy-duty stand, and has a velvet covered peg. It comes with a bag, which is handy because it probably won’t fit in your case. König & Meyer offer high-quality stands with excellent stability and durability. The K&M 15228 Pavilion stand is well-regarded for its foldable design and gives good stability from the 5 metal legs. It can also be stored insdie the bell of the clarinet which gives good portability. If price is an issue the Nomad NIS-C043 stand is an excellent choice; the folding design collapses quickly, but isn’t quite as stable or robust as the Hercules or K&M models mentioned above.
If you want a really compact stand, the Hercules DS440B clarinet stand is a good option as it fits inside the bell of the clarinet. Alternatively, the K&M 15222 Compact Clarinet Stand is a good quality stand 4 leg stand which is small enough to fit in most cases.
