windup keyboard stand

does anyone know of a keyboard stand that is adjustable (height) with a keyboard on it? because of physical issues i need to be able to alternate between standing and sitting , with out having to remove the keyboard from the stand completely...ive done a bit of a google on it but not much seems to come up..
thanks

The only thing I've ever seen is www.solidstand.com but that would probably be a transportation nightmare for most of us. Although they now produce a motor-driven X-stand that might be interesting.

I use a 31" hi stool so I can sit or stand without adjusting the keyboard.

....a "BIT" expensive?????? Wow.

LOL @ UD...yeah!

I guess it all depends on the base you are working from ...
t.

How much does it weigh? If physical issues force this on you, how worse are they going to get if you have to schlep around a very heavy motorized stand?

looks like its about 22kgs, about the same as a g70/pa1xpro/s90es...its not the lifting of the keyboard thats a problem, its a problem with either sitting or standing for prolonged periods in essentially the same position...its to do with a couple of lower discs....but im thinking its gonna be way too expensive so i might have to try and invent something????!!!!! [yeah rite ]
cheers

Did you check out their new X-stand? It's about half price (still too expensive for me)and half the weight.

Pnuematics or hydraulics seem to be the way to go. Let us know if you invent anything.

i wrote to them and got a reply that the x-stand is 27 lbs but the come-apart is 45.. since there are at least 2 pieces, seems it would be lighter to carry each than a 27-lb X. Also..come-apart should be a lot more stable and a lot better looking. As long as we're spending WAY too much money for either version, if push came to shove I'd go $700 for the come-apart before I'd spring for $400 for an X-stand with a motor.

I GOT THIS EMAIL REPLY FROM CRYSTAL AT SOLID STAND: All 3 versions of the stand are made in America and they all have a very reliable, heavy duty electric motor attached to them which is the whole purpose of our stand being able to move up and down without removing your keyboard. There's no other keyboard stand in the world that has this feature. It is very solid as we have not had ANY complaints from any of our customers over the past 3 years of the stand not being all of what it is, SOLID! Our only feedback is just how much our customers love the stand. We pride ourselves in standing behind our product 100% and customer service is our priority. The Freedom Breakdown stand has 5 separate pieces to it - 2 arms, 2 legs and the main tower. There are wing bolts that are used to attach the arms and legs to the main tower - 1 wing bolt for each arm and leg for a total of 4 wing bolts. It takes about 1 minute to assemble and 1 minute disassemble the Freedom Breakdown. The entire stand weighs approximately 35-40 pounds. I don't have the weight of each arm and each leg but the main tower has the motor attached to it so it would actually be your heaviest piece. Once the Freedom Breakdown is completely assembled, it is as sturdy as the Freedom Stand. I WOULD THINK IT TAKES MORE THAN A MINUTE TO ASSEMBLE 5 PIECES WITH WING NUTS. SHE ALSO SAID 45 LBS FOR THE UNIT ORIGINALLY.
