On Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy Duty Folding Z Keyboard Stand




This review is from: On Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy Duty Folding Z Keyboard StandThe stand is good, but the company has been lazy about updating the specifications. The stand adjusts to 33" wide, no longer to 36". There is also a discrepancy as to how much weight it will support, either 375 pounds or 500 (both numbers are claimed). The stand now has a small, vertical support not shown in the picture, between the cross-bars, so perhaps the higher number is correct. They also did not bother to list the number of height adjustments (5) or how far apart they are (about 3"). The height adjustments could be improved -- although there are some guiding marks, it's not easy to tell when one is exactly in the right place (so that a hole is used); it does not suddenly feel "in the hole," and one might easily miss the right notch, which could be dangerous at higher weights (where it might suddenly slip)....

This review is from: On Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy Duty Folding Z Keyboard StandThe stand is very sturdy and can be adjusted in both height and width to fit my needs. (I'm certain that I could stand on my keyboard/stand to change a lightbulb, but I don't think I'll conduct that test.) I'm using the stand for an M-Audio AXIOM 49 Advanced 49-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller (which is just 32" wide). The height is adjustable from just above my lap to tall enough to stand at the keyboard comfortably. I chose this stand rather than an "X" stand because I could adjust the height without also affecting the width. With the Axiom 49 only 32" wide, most "X" stands could not be adjusted low enough for my needs (without also adding a shelf.)The "Z" design offers plenty of clearance for my feet and knees while seated, and the adjustment knobs are easily accessible from the front; though it's not entirely clear to me which side is really the "front".The stand top is deep enough to accommodate my Axiom 49, and leaves enough extra stand-top to add a 6" deep shelf, perhaps for a sheet music holder-gizmo and certainly a drink or too....

This review is from: On Stage KS7350 Pro Heavy Duty Folding Z Keyboard StandI needed an inexpensive, heavy duty, not too deep, storable, flexible table for a variety of applications. A folding card table wasn't going to do it. Standard tables tend to have little flexibility & large footprints. Drafting tables have more flexibility but tend to be too deep. My solution was to top this keyboard stand with a piece of laminated shelving from Home Depot. The "Z" shape of the frame means I can use it sitting down (sewing table), the adjustable height makes it perfect for a buffet table. The adjustable width makes it easy to use when I need a smaller table (a place for the science fair project in my child's room). It stores compactly as well, but I haven't taken advantage of that feature yet since the stand is always in use somewhere!...
