You can even purchase an extra tube that allows one stand to function for either.Screw on Bell holder allows for left to right adjustment if the bell on your saxophone brand is off center.4 leg design compared to most stands 3 leg design is much more stable, less likely to tip over.Carbon fiber is strong and will not break easily, also seems to hold up well over time.The whole stand weighs only 1.1 pounds!.The tubes will easily fit into the bell or in a side pocket of a case, the bell holder can be stored on the bell in the case – no extra bag for the stand needed.Carbon Fiber tubes sized precisely so they fit nested perfectly into one another to save space.Great features of the Woodwind Design stand: Check out the photo gallery below, or the video from Gijs as well.

After putting together a bulk order for a number of NYC saxophonists I received a newer updated stand, and I am very pleased that Gijs continues to improve and upgrade the design, the newer design is even more ingenious (and lighter!) than the first.

I have been using the stand nearly every day for 2 years – each stand has a unique serial number and my first stand was #4! The stand has held up beautifully and is in almost like new condition. With Woodwind Design’s new carbon fiber stands I carry a baritone stand in my case every day – while barely adding any extra weight – quite the life changer. The horn of course got battered and dinged, which as a baritone player you almost get to the point where you can live with it. I have had plenty before, big solid steel ones, and even the lighter K+M plastic ones, but without a car it just wasn’t feasible to carry them to gigs, especially if I had a bag, music stand, and bass clarinet! So the horn inevitably got put onto the floor between sets and sometimes quickly put down all too harshly if there was a quick instrument switch mid song. His stands in my opinion are the best option for baritone saxophone available.įor many years I traveled around New York City and the east coast playing gigs and rehearsals without a saxophone stand. Gijs is a woodwind player himself, but also a tinkerer and inventor. Its being incorporated more and more into many instrument cases – although beware, some case manufacturers offer a carbon fiber “finish” that looks like but is not actual carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is quickly becoming a very popular material, not only for its sleek futuristic look but also because it is incredibly strong yet lighter than many metals of the same weight. We mentioned the stands a couple years back. In the last few years however he has developed new carbon fiber stands that he crafts in his workshop (garage?). As far as I can tell he has been around for a while, mostly making specialty stands for woodwinds, especially clarinets out of interesting materials, often beautiful woods and other materials. Gijs van Leeuwen is from the Netherlands and has created a company called Woodwind Design. But today I would like to review a product that now goes with me to every rehearsal and gig. From a business perspective it makes sense – baritone products are larger, harder to make, need to be able to handle more weight/force and of course are harder to sell since there are less baritonists out there overall. This is true for brands of horn, mouthpieces, cases, and perhaps especially instrument stands. There are never as many options for a baritone saxophonist as there are for the other saxophones.
