doesn't secure the keyboard [Posted on 2006-01-19]
There is not a way to secure the keyboard to the stand. It just rests on top. So if you are at all energetic when you play, the keyboard slides all over the place.
Decent Universal Keyboard Stand [Posted on 2006-01-20]
This keyboard stand isn't half bad as it allows you to use pretty much any keyboard on this stand. Comes assembled so no work to start using it and has these rubber covers to help secure the keyboard. Since the keyboard just sits atop of the stand, it does move a bit if you bang on your keyboard, but if you have a heavy keyboard, its not much of a problem. For the most part, there's no complaints about it. If you would like a first hand view on the stand, you can always go to a Sam Ash music store and find the stand there. It seems to be the standard issue double X keyboard stand they sell there.
Are seat belts really required? [Posted on 2007-12-14]
This World Tour Double X Keyboard Stand, available for a "song" from American Musical Supply, is the one I use for any keyboard weighing over 50 pounds (Roland RD-700 and Kurzweil PC-88 or PC-2X are a couple of examples). These should not require a strap (or glue, velcro, anchors, or whatever the previous reviewer had in mind). I play "hard," and I have yet to lose a keyboard from this stand. For lighter-weight keyboards (Kurzweil SP models, Roland RD-300SX, Korg SP-500) I use the single-brace version of this stand (it's much easier to throw inside of a case or strap to the outside) and haven't had any disasters (sure, some bouncing around--but that's frequently a helpful reminder to calm down and stop rushing the tempo). The handiest, most indestructible keyboard stand I own is a featherlight aluminum X with a canvas-strap top, long out of business (sadly). Just beware of the stands that are sold with the Casios and Yamahas at Best Buy and Circuit City (I've had to use one in the pinch and, though just as expensive as the World Tour models, it fell apart within a couple of months).
One caveat: if you're doing a "lounge act," all of these X models, regardless of how practical the design is, don't do much for appearance (especially if your knees are knobby like mine). Instead, consider investing in a table-type of stand and even draping a sexy curtain down the front (put an iridescent, spaced-out picture of Sun Ra on it).
