dimensions fit most keyboards....height adjustable....plenty of room for your pedals......and.......definitely a keeper for home use


keyboard stand

I have one. Yes, why not? It is multi purpose, too as you mentioned.

This greatest stool in the world goes with it. It used to be $8.95 just a few years back.

in no way shape or form would I ever trust my kb on a stand like that from Walmart..

But if I did ever decided to use this style of utility stand very unlikely it would be one of these.

bottom pic looks like an iron board over a X stand?

He probably regrets not buying the extended store warranty on the Ironing Board after it collapsed.

Donny........they look like Jungle Bars you'd find at the children's playground in some park. If I had to go with one of those stands, I WOULD buy the Walmart one.

Now......it was said both humorously and seriously (for home use).

And this is said "seriously" also. I would never use one of those type of stands (drunk comes by and knocks your keyboard right off the stand). And especially not while I still have 3-4 precious USS tubular stands that they made years ago that I use for my stage work. Setup time: under a minute Keyboard protection: 5 stars Versatility: 5 stars again

Mark the A-Frame stands are some of my favorites also..
can you take a pic of your setup with the A-Frame?
I've tried them all.....My main stand is an IQ2000..

I'm playing mostly piano and accordion now so the stand is buried in the corner of the room. This one made by Jasper (Germany) is the same. The old USS stands even have a "t-stand" setup. The sides are an inverted T and as many tiers as you need going up the "T" sides. Setup time even better.......probably about 12 seconds.

This one is the real tall version. I use the "shoulder height" ones for two tiers.

I still use several USS A-frame systems; I keep one set up at home, and one folded and in the garage ready to take on gigs. Setup time is ~5 seconds. And someone years ago, when moving to a retirement home and needing to downsize, gave me enough parts to make 2 or 3 more (haven't used a lot of those parts yet). Found 2 photos (from a few years back) showing my rigs with the A-frames in use:

I love having wide open space below for pedals and such (although I don' t bring/play MIDI organ pedals very often any more)...

Thanx everyone for the pics...I used to use an A frame years ago when playing multiple KBs in bands and had the time to set up before a gig,....but later on found it cumbersome to carry an A frame setup take down etc, for in & out jobs vs an Apex or K&M but always went back to a sturdy X double tier X stand with a separate laptop stand which works for me ..

I tried so many setups like this vintage KORG i30 with a quick QL695 lok stand & others but always returned to an X stand lol..

That USS Apex was the WORST stand I ever owned, in terms of stability. There were two very volatile points (from each side) that could topple the rig over, regardless of kb size or weight. It had a serious design flaw in this respect. Sure, it looked cool, and if you were not set up near people drinking or dancing .... maybe, it'd be safe, but I was always worried about it.

SORRY!

Might go to the store.

ENOUGH PASSWORDS!

That's exactly the way (and height) my setup was. But I also used a third keyboard to my right that I managed to set up on a tier between the two keyboards to my front. Those stands were fantastic....the whole setup fit in one carry bag and weighed less then Tiny Tim.

Donny....you've been around long enough to know what you're comfortable with, but......an X stand? I don't get it.....unstable and nowhere to put pedals down.

Don't misunderstand, the few times I play out now with my arranger I use a simple restaurant tray stand. But I'm constantly, every minute, concerned about it falling off. Never had those "worry" thoughts when using the USS stands.

My next questions goes to a new reply box.

There's something I never understood.........why companies sell them and WHY musicians buy them? These stands with a column in front of you and the tiers branching off from the central column. Are people that desperate for "carrying" convenience and less weight that they use these risky stands? And........no room for foot pedals? How do you function as a OMB without......foot pedals?

Almost forgot, those stands were so versatile I even set up a microphone arm on the top of the left frame. Just put the mike in it and pull it down. You can see the mike stand crossing my chest in my photo.

????? What'd we miss?

I would buy from Walmart if the product was useful to me. I use the Ultimate Support IQ2000 with an On-Stage boom attachment. I always stand to play and I only use a sustain pedal. Quickest and easiest setup that has a solid foundation for my keyboard. I thought the boom mic on the stand would create noise, it doesn't. Roll off the 100hz and below and have a good mic and then you are set.
