K&M 18873 Universal Holder

I purchased this in combination with K&M 19742, a universal tablet holder for use on my K&M Spider pro keyboard stand, though can also be used on Spider or Baby Spider pro stands. The universal holder is honestly built like a tank. I think it will probably outlast the Spider pro! It connects into the grooves which allow the keyboard arms to continuously adjust for height, meaning you have virtually unlimited range of height adjustment for the universal holder. Paired with the universal tablet holder, you can use a tablet to control parameters of your keyboards, display setlists, sheet music or chord notations. I've used this combination for two years and over 25 gigs and its always worked very well for me. K&M might be slightly more expensive than other keyboard stand manufacturers, but you get some great accessories, superb build quality and over the years this makes for great value for money. As always the service from Thomann has been brilliant, responding quickly to any queries, delivering on time and with great packaging of my purchases. Their 3 year warranty is also greatly appreciated, but with K&M build, it's not really required!

The holder clamps onto the stand perfectly, offering a firm and stable grip. I am using this with the K&M 19742 Tablet Holder and there is only one single shortcoming on the handle/screw end where the tablet holder mounts - the horizontal grip is quite loose. No matter how much you tighten the handle, screwing on the tablet holder, the resulting nut&bolt construct spins too loosely around the Y axis. This results in the tablet holder tilting left or right every time you push with your finger onto the tablet off-center. This forces you to use the tablet super lightly or to hold the tablet holder with your other hand to prevent it from spinning uncontrollably. An additional rubber washer (or a pair) or something similar might solve this issue, still have to check that. But other than that - quality made, no compatibility issues or mounting/clamping problems thus far.
