So after much booze this evening, I'm being the true band nerd and have been thinking about pit orchestra's for the last 2 hours, as well as big band.
Typically when I'm doing pits, I'm either Reed 1 or Reed 4/5. Usually the low ones because I'm one of a handful that own and are proficient on the low reeds. With Reed one this isn't a problem as I've made my own piccolo, flute and clarinet stand out of a wooden footstool so that they are a bit higher off the ground. Goes between my knees and I have great access without having to reach to the floor.
Problem comes mainly with bari sax in the low reeds as well as in big band. I love my Saxrax but the bullhorn is a bit awkward with minimal wiggle room. Just wondering what you guys use.
