Hello everyone!

I'm considering buying the Ultimate Apex stand for my keyboard (a Ketron SD1), to replace my Quiklok QLX-21. It's really the most beautiful stand I've ever seen.

I'm already aware of that "danger" if someone bump into the sides of the keyboard, but I'll be very careful about that.

The question is this: anyone using this stand with the same keyboard (Ketron SD1) could please tell me if it is safe to use the standard clamp and tribars? Or should I go with the long clamp and tribars?

I read about Scott Yee using the long tribars with the Tyros... but with the SD1, would the standard ones be OK?.

About this stand, now there's even a silver model!

Thanks is advance!

Luis Santos

The Apex will work fine with your SD1 , even if you use the standard bars..

Yes! It looks great and works great in most situations. Just be careful when you mount it on a surface which is not flat or rigid.

I used the Apex stand with the Tyros and both a Motif ES 88 and a Korg Triton Extreme 76 with no problems. Never had a balance problem nor an accident. Even when playing on the water!

I use the Apex with both the PSR2000 on top and a Roland VR-760 on the bottom - no problems using the standard tribars. (the 760 is a pretty hefty 76-key board too).

I have an X stand and a table-type. I always go back to the Apex because it's easy to use and transport. Lately I have only been using one keyboard and putting my laptop on the upper level - works great.

Hi Luis.

I used the Apex with SD-1 on top an 9000Pro on the botton without problems. Today I use only with Tyros, also without problem.
The only problem, like said José, is just you must be careful with the surface.

I use the Apex for my SD1 and it works fine. Easy set-up, built in handle, solid, and looks great.
