Carbon Fiber Standing/Sitting Peg
Carbon Fiber Standing/Sitting Peg
For many, a strap is not an option when playing standing up. Either they cannot use a harness, or they simply don't like the angle of the bass clarinet when being "hung" from a strap. All good, I've got your solution.
The Carbon Fiber Standing Peg from WoodwindDesign
This peg came from a request I sent to Gijs van Leeuwen (the brains behind WoodwindDesign in The Netherlands), asking him if he'd be interested in making a lightweight standing peg that didn't wobble. (Every single standing peg I have ever tried wobbles when playing the instrument. I can't stand it.)
Well, he took me up on the challenge/request, and invented this peg. And it's damn near perfect.
- It is modular — you can remove the thin interior peg and use it by itself as a sitting peg.
- It's lightweight — the carbon fiber sitting peg weighs less than 1/4 of my regular sitting peg. Hell, the ENTIRE peg system weighs less than my sitting peg weighs. (For reference, my Selmer peg weighs 4.1oz/116g; this sitting peg weighs 0.9oz/26g; and this full standing peg system weighs 3.6oz/102g.) Insane.
- It's wobble-free — the carbon fiber tubing in the standing peg produces ZERO wobble when standing.
- It leaves no trace — both the interior sitting peg and the main standing peg come with a plastic cap that will not mark up your floor.
One size fits all. Seriously.
The peg will work for any size bass clarinet (Low Eb or Low C), and any size human. (Though to be fair, some of these guys would have had to deal with a little wobble in the extension, but it would still work!)
The Carbon Fiber Standing Peg is strong, durable, adjustable to anyone's height, and easily transportable in your case. Exact diameter of the peg insert (for your bell) is 7mm. Be sure to double-check your peg to ensure it's the right size. But even if you get it and you aren't satisfied with the fit...read on:

Tariff Season Is Here! Starting April 2025, this product is $7 pricier (a 6% bump), all thanks to new U.S. tariffs on stuff from the Netherlands. Apparently, international trade disputes are the new reality TV. I'm not thrilled either—but hey, at least your bass clarinet peg is now geopolitically significant.
On the bright side, you’re now helping fund global economic diplomacy every time you play your bass clarinet. You’re basically a hero.

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!
