On-Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy-Duty Folding-Z Keyboard Stand

Product Information

Now, this wouldn’t be much of a list of keyboard stands without mentioning an option from Yamaha. They have an abundance of options out there, but this single tier X-type stand is among the best that they have to offer. The optimal height is when your arms are parallel to the floor while your fingers can rest comfortably on the keys. Portability

As for the question as to which of these is better, the answer is none has any big advantage over the other. Assembly does not really have to do anything with quality. It boils down to the material and overall construction of the stand when it comes to quality and durability. If the stand itself is low quality, it would not matter whether you assembled it or it came assembled. There is no significant price difference either between these two. However, if you think that assembly would be a hassle or perhaps you would not be able to do it then go for a preassembled one. What is the difference between an X-style and a double X-style keyboard stand? The main reason why the Omega keyboard stand deserves the top spot is due to its impeccable durability and it’s sturdiness. Being made almost entirely out of welded steel tubing, you can easily fit any keyboard ranging from 25 keys to 88 keys on it and not have to worry about it.Double X-type stands are a little more stable and stronger for more intense use. If you plan on playing shows with your keyboard stand and you want an X-type, then I’d definitely recommend getting a double x design. It will be able to handle all that shifting and moving a lot better than a single. Alternatively, a double tier keyboard stand is great for producers who like to have two keyboards at the same time that do different things when writing or playing a song. Maybe your bottom keyboard is a traditional soft piano that you write chords on, and your top one has a lot of audio effects for writing melodies on the fly. Coming in as my overall favorite is this table style keyboard stand from Konig and Meyer. K&M has built a great reputation for themselves over the years and it’s easy to see why with this very well built stand.

Keyboard stands are almost as important as the keyboards for a comfortable playing experience. Having a reliable stand will not only make your playing technique better but also will make playing your instrument more comfortable and fun, motivating you to play more and more. In summary, before you commit any cash to the first model you see, work out what you need from a stand and narrow down your choice from there. From A-Frame stands to Z-Style stands, you’ll discover plenty of options to support your keys, but one is bound to prove better than the rest for you and your kit. We’ve touched on this already, but if you’re tall beware some X-Style stands, because you’ll forever be brushing your legs against theirs (and not in a flirtatious way).

Keyboard Stand

Another very important consideration in terms of weight is the stand's weight capacity. It should have a generous weight limit to accommodate those big and heavy keyboards. The weight limit is usually mentioned in product specifications. If you are looking for something truly heavy duty then go for something like On-Stage 2 Tier Pro Heavy-Duty Folding. It is a sturdy stand for 2 keyboards and has a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds which should be ample for keeping the heaviest of the keyboards. Moreover, it is also highly portable so you can fold it and carry along on your journeys. Value for Money
