Neewer Z-Style Keyboard Stand - Heavy Duty Steel Construction with Solid Locking System, Support Stand for Piano Keyboard Instrument

Product Information

Central Arm – these are attractive looking keyboard stands with a higher level of functionality. The central arm is easily adjustable and doesn’t make your setup look like an eye-sore. More times than not, these types of stands are only available in a single tier option, which brings me to the next style… 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).

A-Frame: The A-frame in stands is known for its light weight and high stability. These stands have A frames on the sides and again resemble a table. This gives you a lot of leg room so such a stand is ideal for those who play piano or keyboard while seated. A lot sturdier than X-style, they are becoming very popular nowadays. Other than that, you really can’t go wrong here. With Yamaha as the name behind this stand, you can be sure it’s a worthy investment.The optimal height is when your arms are parallel to the floor while your fingers can rest comfortably on the keys. Portability

You can go for a stand with screws to secure the keyboard to prevent any accidents. Also, you can go for a sturdy designed stand to have less wobbliness while playing. Weight Capacity The size of the stand and the size of your keyboards are crucial elements when choosing a stand. You should be sure that the tier width of the stand matches your keyboard’s width. The best keyboard stands come in a variety of styles, literally from A to Z, but which one is right for you? The ones on our list fall into five main categories: In my eyes, you should get a sturdy enough keyboard stand for anything you plan to do with it, but some folks might just need a stand for gigging. Alternatively, you might just need a stand for studio use. Maybe you need one for both! Triple Tier Stands are designed to hold up to three keyboards and these too come in a variety of styles. However, most commonly you would find these in table style or A-frame. Since they hold three keyboards at a time, they are designed with sturdy materials and are obviously heavier than single or double tier. That does not mean that they are not portable, many of these can be folded and carried anywhere with quite a lot of ease. Sizes & WeightThere really isn’t a whole lot to say about the YKA7500 that can’t already be assumed. It’s very well built, sturdy, and likely to outlive most of your gear. The one downside to this keyboard stand is that the assembly instructions are hard to follow and you’d do well to cut out a chunk of your day to put it together. These are the most common styles of keyboard stands. However, there are more types which are mostly different versions of the above only e.g. double X-style. In addition to the shape there is another category that distinguishes these stands which is tiers. All of the above are essentially single tier but there are double and triple tier stands as well that can keep two and three keyboards respectively. These are good for those who want more than one keyboard in front of them simultaneously. Do these require assembly? 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. This means you can hold just about any keyboard with ease. That being said, numerous people have pointed out that no matter what adjustment position the stand is in, it’s too wide for a 49 key keyboard. I’m sure you can find a shelf of some sort to make things work, but it’s worth pointing out nonetheless.

My top recommendation is the Plixio Piano Keyboard Stand, which shines with its versatile Z-shaped design and its handy features, providing a stable and reliable stand for all kinds of players. Double tier stands basically can house two keyboards at a time. These usually resemble single tier keyboards i.e. they can be any style including X-style, table style, or even Z-style. However, they have additional arms for keeping the second keyboard. These arms can be adjusted in height and width and in addition to that, you can also adjust the angle so that the keyboard under it is accessible. Recommended 2 TierTable Style: this is pretty self-explanatory and this one is very stable as well and provides a lot of leg room. They are often dubbed as mixer style as they are also used for housing mixers. You have four legs just like that in a table that can be adjusted for height. If you are not going to move around a lot, you do not need to pay for portability. Or, if you have a small, lightweight keyboard, do not go for a high-end double-tier stand with 300 lbs capacity. This way, you can pay the minimum for what you need to get the job done. Conclusion

The height is adjustable for virtually all of the keyboard stands but the range varies from one to another. You have to ensure that the stand you are buying is commensurate with your height i.e. you should be able to play them standing and sitting. As for weight, the weight of the stand itself should be less because a heavy stand can be difficult to carry or assemble. Its own weight does not really have any effect on its stability and durability. Heavy Duty The weight capacity of keyboard stands varies depending on the model and the design. It often ranges between 90 to 300 lbs for single-tier ones. The single-X designs have the lowest weight capacity, while the Z-shaped and double-X designs can carry more weight and are ideal for heavier keyboards. What is the optimal height of a keyboard stand? The stand is very stable and sturdy, with the rubber pads on the feet and the tier preventing any wobbliness or slips. 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.

Heavy-Duty Adjustable Stand for Stage Pianos and Other Keyboards

Some keyboard stands out there will be height-adjustable, but it’s definitely worth it to make sure the stand itself will sit at a comfortable level. This mainly depends on how tall you are as well. These are all the things that you should think about when doing your research. The Difference Between Double X and Single X
