Dave Pierce Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hey all! Only long-timers here will remember me. I seem to have tried to rejoin the conversation a couple of times, but I haven't been a regular participant here since something like 2012. I've been watching the threads go by, and it appears to be the same amazingly cool place it always was, only with a bunch of names I don't recognize, haha. I finally replaced my Hammond XK-3c with an SK-1, and I thought it would be polite to say "hello again" before I started asking folks about patches, and smaller/lighter two-tier stands, and posting replaced keyboards for sale in Garage Sale. (And yes, I intend to do all of those things.) So, um...."hi!" It's been a long time. Hope you guys are well. Life is good here in the Bay, still gigging, and not as much as I used to, which is by design. --Dave Quote Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Analogaddict Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 smaller/lighter two-tier stands, Welcome back! Check out the Stay music stands. I use one with for instance my MODX7 and SK1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 K&M 18880 + 18881 stacker is super-light two-tier, and sets up fast. Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Adan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The SK1 has been around so long, I wonder if Hammond is working on an update (not what a new purchaser wants to hear, I know). That the recently issued SKX has basically the same engine suggests no. It would be nice to have better non-Hammond sounds, especially the AP, but Hammond doesn't seem too interested in pursuing that.

MuzikTeechur Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 K&M 18880 + 18881 stacker is super-light two-tier, and sets up fast. If you prefer a 2nd tier that is adjustable for tilt/angle, the part number is 18882. Quote Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

ajstan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 K&M 18880 + 18881 stacker is super-light two-tier, and sets up fast. If you prefer a 2nd tier that is adjustable for tilt/angle, the part number is 18882. +1 on the K&M 18880. Actually, both the 18881 and 18882 are adjustable for angle. I have the 18881 stacker. The 18882 stacker includes an adapter to add a third tier. The biggest issue for me is the protrusion of the second tier over the bottom keyboard. Wish it was about 2" shorter. I end up raising the second tier higher and angling it downward to offer more open key area on the bottom board. Some turn the second tier around and/or drill holes to bring the tiers closer together. All-in-all, I'm totally satisfied for my one-board stage rig with a Nord Stage 3-88 (42 lb. + 5lb. for the brackets for the Nord legs which I leave on), although I'll use the second tier at home when I'm not programming patches on the bottom board. I set it up with the supports 18" apart. Super light, quick setup, sturdy, virtually invisible on stage.

Well, first of all, I would be remiss if I posted yet again without acknowledging the OP, so "Hi Dave" - it looks like I joined after you took your sabbatical but it's nice to meet you! AnotherScott - thanks, I'll probably wind up trying that after I finalize what my top board will be to make sure I don't need the full depth of the arm. One cut and a new hole for the pin for each arm should do the trick.
