Hercules Bassoon/Bass Clarinet Stand vs Gear4music SDP-2 Stage Piano bundle: which should I buy?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
Buy the Hercules stand if you need somewhere to rest a bassoon or bass clarinet; choose the Gear4music SDP-2 bundle if you want a stage piano. They serve entirely different jobs, so they aren’t direct alternatives.
The Hercules Bassoon/Bass Clarinet Stand is an instrument support, not an instrument. At the supplied best new price of £58, it’s the relevant choice if you already have a bassoon or bass clarinet and need a stand; check compatibility with your particular instrument before buying.
The Gear4music SDP-2 Stage Piano bundle includes the piano, a stand, a pedal and headphones. Its supplied best new price is £250, and it’s the relevant option if you want a keyboard setup rather than somewhere to park a wind instrument.
The practical decision is simple: choose for the job you need done. The Hercules won’t give you a piano to play, and the piano bundle’s included stand shouldn’t be treated as a bassoon or bass clarinet stand.
