BEST Table-style Stand!!

Magilla66 27.03.2019

NOTE: This review has been updated as of 31 July 2021.
I have been using this stand for over 2 years now, and can say that it is (a) the most unique, (b) sturdy & light, (c) compact, (d) keyboard stand that can adapt to any size keyboard. The stand is sturdy enough to attach Triad-Orbit clamps, joints, and other Triad accessories, including a laptop platform plus Lenovo Legion laptop, without tipping or feeling unstable. I have been so impressed, that I have bought a second unit from Thomann - they've got the best prices and availability!

This is my very first order from Thomann - I ordered this stand and the two stacker kits A + B (18881 & 18882).

The 18880 stand was easy to assemble. Instructions in English were clear, with descriptive diagrams.

A little disappointed when received, as parts could be heard rattling around inside: knobs, washers, and screws. No parts bag, so they must have been loose when packaged by K&M.

After assembling and adjusting the height to a standing position for playing, I set my 60-pound Korg Triton Extreme88 on it. Looks nice in situ; hope it's rock-steady when I jam on songs like Highway Star or Carry On Wayward Son.

PROS
- Quick assembly / height adjustment (tool included)
- Lightweight, collapsible for transport
- 2nd/3rd tier stackers

CONS
- Fixed stacker width (need trays for smaller modules / keyboards - 18819, 18824)
- May wobble sideways with heavy keyboards while playing

/TLDR: Good stand, but not 100% great. Varying stability bar lengths would allow for different main keyboard widths/stacker widths.

Super lightweight... But sturdy!

yipsiotis 03.04.2021

Been using this almost daily for over a year with my studiologic sl88 studio, no problems whatsoever.

Pro’s:
Light
Sturdy
Quick to assemble

Cons:
Doesn’t easily adjust up and down.
Needs a flat surface to stand on.

I have used a lot of keyboard stands over the years, playing in different places each day... so far this is my favorite one..

Great stand!

ProfWacko 24.01.2020

This is a very good stand solution for anyone looking for something lighter to carry around.

My Crumar Mojo XT fits great and it's very solid.

Now I need a lighter throne to go with.

I bought this stand after it was recommenced by a friend, who has used it for 15 years with no problems. The stand is of excellent quality, and hosts my Nord C1 organ without any stability problems. The inclusion of the stability bar with the keyboard stand is a good idea, however not even necessary even for the organ; without the stability bar you can take the stand down in seconds and fit it into a very small space as it's very compact and convenient. When packing up the stand, try not to loosen the screws excessively as they can come off, but apart from that this is a great stand which I'd highly recommend and will last you years.

Absolutely brilliant

Michael5328 04.02.2015

strong, portable, folds up very compact, sturdy, unshakable music stand no matter how heavy you play on the keys, absolutely brilliant for home use or performance use, very easy to fold up and carry or put in the car, absolutely fantastic, best keyboard stand or digital piano stand I've ever owned and I would buy it again if I had to.
Especially fantastic for heavy or big digital pianos or keyboards. When it folds up it is very compact and easily carried.
Looks perfect too.

Stable and compact

Hepcat McSwing 11.01.2021

Very nice stand that folds up pretty tight. It is very stable, even without the cross brace (which I don't use because it takes up relatively too much space and uses up relatively much set-up time. Especially with heavier keyboards, the board itself will provide enough structural support to the stand. In terms of stability, play room, transport space and setup time, you can't beat this stand.

Great keyboard stand

David B. 812 16.05.2013

Light, easy and quick to fold up, I like it a lot and so much better than the x-stands I often use. It is pretty stable as well especially since it is a light weight stand. One thing I really like about is that you set up the height just once when you first set it up and I haven't had to tough the height adjustment since. I have the 2nd tier stackers that fit on this as well and they work great.

Surprisingly good stand!

NeilD 24.05.2013

Considering how lightweight this stand is, it's incredibly robust and well made. Lots of adjustment possibilities, and folds up tiny. Highly recommended!

Great stand, I hope it doesn't break over time when touring and moving it around a lot. It's very lightweight but feels sturdy enough to last a long time but i'll have to see after a couple of months/years of touring with it.
