K&M 15252 Recorder Stand

I generally like K&M products and look for that name when looking to buy musical accessories. This is a light, easy to set up and pack away and very portable stand for alto (treble) recorders. I got the stand they make for soprano (descant) recorders and that is good too.

Cute little stand that holds a treble/alto or tenor recorder quite well (though with a little more wobble than I'd like, especially with the tenor). Well made, looks professional, and the slightly rubberised peg takes good care of your instrument. Folds up very small; a little fiddly to mantle/dismantle (screwing/unscrewing the collar), but doesn't take long.

However, if you're getting more than one, consider instead the K&M 17710 base, which can take several recorder pegs. (The K&M 17786 peg is the same size as this.)

K&M 15252 is sold as being suitable for a tenor recorder and it is not suitable. The stem on the stand is far too small to engage with the bell of the recorder and offers no support to the instrument. In other words I have been missold this item.
Furthermore, I have been obliged to register and open an account for this transaction and I don’t want one.
Dreadful service and to date no satisfactory resolution. Very disappointing.
