Botch. Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I've got a Standtastic, an Invisible (no longer made), Ultimate Support A-frame, and a couple of those X-style stands, and far and away prefer the Standtastic.

Reverend Rhythm Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Ultimate and Quick-lok come to mind. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythm n beatz Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Are these two companies products really 'sturdy", Years ago I had an invisible which was lost in a move. The invisible is what I mean by sturdy. I'm going to look into the Standtastic. Might be what I'm looking for. Originally posted by DKeenum: Ultimate and Quick-lok come to mind.

Dave Bryce Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 If you get an x-stand, I vastly prefer the reinforced double-x ones to the flimsy single-x models. As I am not what one would call a delicate keyboard player ( ), single-x stands are pretty much useless to me. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Affiliations: Cloud Microphones • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I like the Quik-Loc basic stand for single keyboards and you can add expantions to it. I don't really care for it as a double keyboard stand because the tiers are not stable enough. Robert This post edited for speling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Zeger Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 These K&M stands look built to take a pounding: http://www.ultimatesupport.com/km_mixer.html The one on the left looks too wide for a 61 note keyboard, but the model on the right might work. I have a K&M double-X keyboard stand like the one Dave Bryce mentioned. It's very sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhythm n beatz Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Thanks for all the advice. I see all the pictures and links. I've done some searches around here and the Standtastic gets good comments. The K&M series looks good too but I have to look for some user comments. Thanks My studio is my instrument RnBeatz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABid Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 That is the one I have but I butchered it a bit to make it more useful. I took off the second keyboard tier so that I have better access to my Roland Fantom. This also lets me use the right side of the Fantom for my computer mouse. Reversed the monitor arms and now they slant forward and hold my Yamaha DX200 and AN200. Switched the small tables so that my computer keyboard sits on the right and the other holds my XL-7 or any new piece of hardware that I am learning. Lowered the video monitor stand and placed my sampler on it with a monitor sitting on top. This way I found a use for those shelves underneith. They no longer hold just manuals. Now one holds my SCSI CD ROM that connects to the sampler. This stand really helped me get organized into a nice working environment. I cannot afford nice studio furniture so this was a good alternative. Robert This post edited for speling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Of the X-stands, I have a Quik-lok and an On Stage, and the On Stage feels a good bit more solid than the Quik-lok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Azzarello Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I own two Invisibles and a Standtastic. I like the Standtastic a lot better because it allows me to: Adjust the heights of the "tiers" independently Is far easier to setup and tear downAdjust the width All in all, the Standtastic is a pretty well-designed stand. Musician's Friend often has them on sale, but the shipping can get you (I think they're considered over-size because of the length). If you can wait for a "free shipping" promotion you'll be better off. Pat http://www.patazzarello.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dementia13 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I just bought a platform stand from Musician's Friend, and they wouldn't include it in their "free shipping" deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fiala Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'll second the motion for Standtastic. It's quick to set up, easily adjustable, and is rock steady, even if you are pounding out Jerry Lee Lewis riffs! Tom F. "It is what it is."

daBowsa Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have a Standtastic 2-tier stand in its original box (home use only) which I'm about to ebay for some holiday cash. I'd gladly do a deal with a forum member instead - dabowsa@yahoo.com if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythm n beatz Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Thanks all, I think I have all the info I need. I'm going to call around and see if anyone in my area has one displayed so I can test it in person. I'm leaning towards the standtastic.

I still use my Invisible stand I bought in 1987. That thing is a rock! I also have a Quick lock X type stand. The Quick lock is easier to transpor and fold up, but it tends to sway quite a bit when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
