mate stubb Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Mine wobbles maybe 1/4" side to side - enough to feel if you are checking for it, not noticeable on a gig. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.Honey Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Could someone who has the stand measure how long the 'horizontal bar' of the stand is? See the red arrow in the picture. I'm trying to figure if I could use this stand for my keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDP Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Well I recieved the K&M 18880 from Full Compass (quick shpg, 10 days) with 2 stackers. Very disappointed in this stand. It is light enough, but so is my QL-642. Unlike the rock solid stance of the QL, the K&M has lateral movement which would be disconcerting on any unsteady stage, but it also displays a spindly or rotational wobble. I was hoping to use this stand as a 3 teir but at anything above mid height I would not trust my Virus TI2 Polar on top. It is being returned and I will just have to settle for an L config with 2 QL-642's whenever I need that 3rd kbd......MUCH less expensive as well.

xKnuckles Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mine wobbles maybe 1/4" side to side - enough to feel if you are checking for it, not noticeable on a gig. I am so pleased that you have said this, because mine also does this and I have been wondering if I had not put it together properly.... It is never a problem when I am playing, but I seem to remember some people here saying that they do not use the crossbar. As mine already has this wobble, I cannot imagine ever being confident enough to remove that crossbar. I would love to hear from some of the people who have removed it....is your stand rock solid - with or without it? "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

AnotherScott Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well I recieved the K&M 18880 ...with 2 stackers. Very disappointed in this stand. It is light enough, but so is my QL-642...I will just have to settle for an L config with 2 QL-642's whenever I need that 3rd kbd...... A pair of QL-642's is about 40 pounds. A three-tier 18880 system is about 9 lbs. The K&M always felt steady enough for me. Maybe it behaves a little differently depending on the weight of the boards you're putting on it...? Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 First time you use this stand it is a little scary. I seems the more weight you put on it the more solid it feels to a certain point. This is from Saturday. Not sure how much weight I'm riding. A Kronos-88 is probably around 60 lbs. The XK3c is fairly hefty. The FA-06 is really light. No problems. I'm guessing I've done about 300 gigs on this stand. The spring pins that act as a stop keeping your boards from coming forward come loose. That is the one design flaw I have found. It wobbles if I grab the stand and rock it sideways so I don't do that.
