Another great clamp made by Meinl! The MC-1 is a great addition to the MC line since it provides great stability and its really easy to use/mount. This clamp is magnificent to mount cowbells, tambourines, blocks and other assorted percussion instruments. One important fact is that this clamp doesn't weight much, making it a breeze to carry. In conclusion I totally recommend this clamp to anyone that is looking for good quality hardware (clamp) without braking the bank.
