Portability is crucial for me, as I frequently carry my clarinet with me. The K&M 15228 stand is simply superb; it takes up almost no space in a bag or suitcase while providing excellent stability during use.
The clever design allows the legs to be stored inside the clarinet's bell, making it easy to transport without worrying about losing parts.
Although the stand is extremely lightweight (approximately 0.15 kg), the build quality feels solid. It doesn't feel fragile at all, and I expect it to last a long time.
For its price, it's one of the most practical stands you can buy. Of course, it's not designed to protect against major impacts, but it does its job perfectly for rehearsals, concerts, or practice breaks.
Highly recommended for all clarinetists looking for a compact, sturdy, and intelligently designed stand.
