A-Stand

[losmusicanos]

I'm gonna buy this stand for ± 130 euros. When I think I wanted to buy a Quik Lok stand for 3 keyboards at 300+ euros! :eek:

The Stagg triple stand:

The Quik Lok double stand (with 3rd and 4th tier in option):

I forgot to ask a question...

Would you know a better or a cheaper solution for 3 keyboards?

I have the impression nothing can beat it at this price.

Haven´t used any of Stagg´s keyboard stands, but I personnaly I don´t trust their quality.. but that´s based on their other products so..

Yeah, I would definately not trust the stagg stand...... That doesnt look very sturdy, and also would you be using a 88 keyboard with it, if so youve got to make sure that it will support and fit it...

I own a quick-lok 2 tier stand... and I use it with a 88 key- Kurzweil K2600X and it holds up awesome.

Hope you find what your looking for =)

Actually I already have a double brace stand for 1 keyboard from Stagg and I'm happy with it. I also have a 2-tier quik lok stand but I'd like to have 3 keyboards on the same stand.

I have no 88-key, if I had one indeed I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about that stand. The heaviest keyboard I have weighs 15 kg (don't know how many pounds it makes).

I'm just a bit skeptical for my JD-800, cause it's much deeper than my other boards. But I have 4 keyboards so if the JD-800 is too deep for that stand, I'll leave it alone on another stand.

My experience with the A-frames is that they don't do well in the long run with heavy boards. Your JD-800 will wear out the collar locks faster than you can say "catch the falling keyboard before it hits the stage". I had an A frame just like the one in the top photo and it dumped my Korg DSS1 right onto a concert stage, breaking some of the internal key mounts.

If you must have three tiers, you'd be better off with an APEX.
Purchase the additional Super Clamp with extended arm bars for the JD-800 and then you'll have three tiers.

Thanks for your info. I'm still looking for a good 3-tier stand then. I'm not too sure about the APEX... Here are some other options:


That one seems still less reliable than the Stagg:

Another 3-tier stand (but the difference between the 1st and 2nd tier is too big):

Another one here but they say it's for the sit down keyboard player (it makes me laugh.. how can a sit down player reach the highest tier? LOL)

Or this one (but without the lower keyboard and VERY expensive):

Hm, how much are the stands? I looking for a new one too.. with either 2 or 3-tier.. have anyone tried the quicklok x-stand with 3-tier? experiences?

[ChrisMcCoy]

This is your best bet right here

I've owned the quicklocks and the a-frames. They both wear out eventually.

[losmusicanos]

Yes, the Ultimate stands seem great, I just can't find any in Europe (and don't have paypal and no credit card to buy in the USA). Well I'll keep watching eBay for one in Europe.

Or maybe I'll buy an A-stand and stick some rubber on the tiers to prevent the synth from sliding. It seems to be more than necessary.

Thanks for your help anyway ;)
