Carbon Fiber Standing/Sitting Peg

I am not a peg person but this thing is great. I will need a peg for certain situations, and this is the best one I have ever come across.

Thanks Michael, the peg works great!

Exactly as advertised. I’m 6’4” and have no complaints.

The standing peg is light weight and upon initial examination seems to be well-made. The exterior piece separates from the height adjustment portion to reveal a sitting peg. I have yet to try it seated but during my first try with it extended I was pleased to find that it was very stable on my new Backun Alpha bass clarinet. Of course, I was nervous to try this with the fear of it “giving out” and having a bass clarinet calamity in my living room, but with a generous twist of the adjustment ****, the bass clarinet felt very secure. There is not a lot of wiggle either which I was pleased with. My only moment of concern was the first few times adjusting the peg and hearing a crunching sound…

I was nervous that it might have cracked. There is no crack but a scratch along the carbon fiber exterior (I’m not concerned). The cracking sound I attribute to the pieces “settling in”.

I took the whole thing apart and checked to make sure that nothing was cracked.

Overall, I am pleased with this product and hope that it lasts a very very long time!

The peg works amazingly and feels so much more freeing than a neckstrap or harness. Being able ti stand and play (even at 6'4!) is great for group or solo performances as it makes breathing easier and playing feel much more natural.

Thrilled with the sturdiness of this peg! Used it with the basset horn, and it was perfect.

This works wonderfully for standing using a Selmer Model 33 Low C bass clarinet! The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect would be the ability to quickly switch from standing to seated. If using the carbon fiber extension, you need to remove the narrow (standard) peg housed inside that extension from the bottom, which isn't a quick process. Switching between two different pegs is an easy enough solution, so consider that before tossing your original peg.

I have been recording and presenting on bass clarinet this yea. The neck step was beyond cumbersome, as the instrument was sometimes hard to balance. This adjustable carbon fiber peg is just what the doctor ordered, as it has already made an abundance of difference. Great product that is serving me well!

Purchased this floor peg for a contrabass clarinet. Perfect fit and exactly as described. Thanks!

I was in the market for a standing peg and came across this offering on Earspasm. I don't usually perform standing up but thought this might be a good thing to have "just in case." I scoped out things online and found many fine purveyors of clarinet accessories who also sold standing pegs. But...I did not know which size would be appropriate, 12 inch? 16 inch? 18 inch? The best feature that distinguishes this peg is the "all in one" feature when it comes to length. It took the guess work out. I've used the peg a few times and found it to be easy to work with and felt very solid. I did not think that it would feel as secure but it does. I do wonder about the longevity of the plastic screws but we'll see. Great product!

The review title says it all

Nice! And arrived quickly.

this was the exact standing peg I was looking for. it's not cheap, but definitely high quality. its nice and lightweight and fits in storage pouch of of Bass' case which is great. VERY sturdy

Thanks Mike. I finally got my Bass back from servicing. Been using the new stand. I love the flexibility, its strength and being wobble free. So good to be standing to play!!! Cheers. Idris Harries, Queensland, Australia.

Service was quick and professional; it's always a pleasure to work with the good folks at earspasm!

Strong, light peg and easily tall enough - perfect!

I love this carbon fibre stand so much that I bought two! It is light weight and durable. I mainly use it for my Leblanc paperclip contras. They fit perfect and are wobble free unlike the factory pegs.

Works perfectly!

This is the best standing peg I've ever used, hands down! Lightweight and doesn't wobble at all. Well worth the money.

Finally i have a peg that i can use sitting on any chair with my paperclip contrabass clarinet.The peg that ame with my contrabass was too short and would wobble.Even a standing bass clarinet peg from 2 other suppliers would not give the height or the stability that this peg does and is very light and fits in my contrabass case.I can't get the screws on top of the stand tight enough to get the security I want for the contrabass in the standing position ,the peg bends a little when it is the standing position but doesn't wobble.If I were to use this standing I would need the added security of a harness.Very Happy.

Turns out that my peg is 8mm. Also turns out that an 8mm peg will fit easily into the standing peg!!
Absolutely love this peg.

Also, for anyone without the peg attachment, my bass didn't have one originally but my local shop attached one now on my bell.

The carbon fiber standing peg is the best one I have tried. It is easy to switch instruments and has been ideal for my students to use as well.
Thank you!

Hi, I really love the design of this peg, however, it doesn't seem to fit the model that I own. I currently own a Jupiter JBC1000N and the peg's diameter is too small for the bell. The provided metal peg is closer to about 9-10mm in comparison to the 7mm carbon fibre peg. I really want to enjoy this product but sadly I own a bass clarinet that isn't part of "all bass clarinets" An update on the specifications for the exact measurements would be useful to avoid other people from making the same mistake.

I love this peg. Just as advertised, it does not wobble. I don't like neck straps, harnesses, contraptions… so I need a standing peg. Previously, I tried carbon, titanium, and steel rods, and they all flexed more than I wanted. Maybe I had the wrong grade of titanium or carbon, but I doubt a different grade would provide the stability of telescoping carbon tubes. If you want a stable standing peg, don't shop around or DIY it. Just buy this peg.

Mike's review of this carbon fibre peg for bass clarinet was bang on and it is exactly what I was looking for. I no longer can blame the stability of the bass clarinet when I stand for the comedy act that follows. It's really stable! The peg arrived in New Zealand within the period I was expecting. Michael runs a great service for us bass clarinetists for sure. Cheers

Arrived fast, great product. 10/10

I really enjoy this standing peg! I will say that I wore through the rubber bit at the bottom of the peg rather quickly.

How would you attach this to a bell of alto clarinet that does not currently have system in place. Had been using a neck strap put can be clumsy at times

It gets the job done and there's no wobble in the stand! Very sturdy. A purchase well made!

This stand-up instrument peg is everything it's billed to be - strong, stable, lightweight and long! This all adds up to much better tone and consistency when I'm playing on stage. I love it!!!

I haven't been able to find anything to work with my alto clarinet but this works amazingly well. Thank you!
