MMM, I just received and set up my 18950 stand last week. I'm using the 18952 stacker set and they slide into the front-to-back hollow crossbars of the 18950. Each stacker is held in place by a single thumbscrew which would make set-up and disassemble easy.
Since the hollow crossbars on the 18950 are welded in place, the only method for changing the distance between the two stackers is by expanding or contracting the width of the entire stand. As a result, using the hollow crossbars might not work for whatever you are planning to set on the second tier if adjusting the width of the stand is not an option for you. However K&M makes adapter 18954 -- buying two of those that might solve that issue because you could place those wherever you wanted. The hollow interior of the 18954 is the same as the hollow crossbars on the stand. Again, the 18954 comes with a thumbscrew that would be loosened for removal of the stacker. I bought the 18954 to hold a music stand assembly.
K&M's website has a lot of detailed info on their products. I found it very helpful in determining what pieces work with what attachments. I also sent them a question by email, and got a thorough response the next day.

Twinkle twinkle in 2nd grade -- does that count?

Thanks for the replies above.
It sure would be easier if you could place "any two keyboards" side-by-side to play and compare them, but that would be a whole lot of inventory...
But just THINK about what a great toy store that would be for us!!!
Old No7
Anyone here remember the old Lyon and Healy store that was in Chicago's loop? The piano floor (third floor IIRC) was a dream, with dozens of all kinds sitting side-by-side to try.

I've been really lucky and don't have to lift a finger or contact anyone to get free stuff. I have been informed that my Order no. 18372018182 is arriving.

Every winter my aging skin allows new cracks to open near my fingernails, and particularly in the thumbs. Nightly applications of lanolin help but don't eliminate the problem. It's usually painful to use those fingers to play, although I'm sure it's not anywhere near as painful as what you are experiencing. But like Mike stated, giving up music is not an option for me and just hearing something resulting from my own efforts makes me happy.

I have the L1 compacts but so far have only used them to saturate my house. Haven"t gigged with them.

When are these expected to be available?
I ordered on Jan 11th and was told to expect shipping by mid to late March. I read on another forum that someone who just ordered last week received an expected shipping date of early to mid-April.

The program generates the grooves and you can alter the amount of 'jam' and humanization.
Agreed; I have Rock DM and there is a setting for "drunk". Does the Reggae app have one for stoned?

The EP-25K among others from Mission Engineering also has dual outputs, and dual independent polarity switches that might be necessary for some setups.

You could get 2 Studiologic MP-117 MIDI Controller Pedal Boards, have more notes and $1,000.
That doesn't have a pedal length long enough for decent heel toe footwork. And you'd need to add the cost of an expression pedal.
And what is the raised crossbar at the back? My real B3 pedals didn't have that.That's a heel rest.
Agree, it's not cheap and it isn't too difficult to find some used Hammond pedalboards.

The PC4 has come down a bit in price at Thomann - £1358 at the moment.

I have a non-business UPS account and recently paid around $80 to return a Maschine MK3 to a vendor. The vendor said they would deduct their own shipping charges from my refund, which turned out to be about $18! But in all fairness, I'm sure I've been reported numerous times to law enforcement as well.

I heard an expected date of early March from one vendor -- perhaps that an average of everyone else's guesses?

I placed my pre-order today for the 73 key Pro. I don't know the MSRP prices and can't share the price I paid, but those numbers are probably in the ballpark for MSRP.
-
Yay! A 73 key version

Thanks-- just what I needed.

Alto Music -- 15% off everything I was interested in (Kurzweil and DSI), plus no sales tax if shipping to most states. Now I need to close the wallet before I spot anything else.
K&M 18950 - second tier options?
in The Keyboard Corner
Posted
I just fiddled with that today. It isn't difficult using the supplied Allen wrench; just loosen the bolt without removing it and adjust. It's a bit more tricky if you need to adjust how far the stackers extend forward over the lower keyboard in a front-to-back direction -- to do that, that bolt needs to be removed, along with the two ratchet wheels and spring.
When I first set up the second tier, I didn't see the paragraph in the instructions that described how to ensure the ratchet wheels should be aligned on both stackers, and as a result the angle on one stacker was alway slightly different than the other. Re-orienting the ratchet wheels solved that issue. If you need to adjust the stackers in a front-to-back direction as mentioned above, it will pay to remember the orientation of those ratchet wheels when fitting everything back together.
Bottom line for me is that adjusting the angle of the stackers, as well as the height of the upper keyboard over the lower one is relatively quick. Adjusting the front-to-back orientation of the upper keyboard to the lower one might take 10-15 minutes or so.
