Is this combination ok? Is there enough space for the keys?

[Octopus]

Or is it better to buy the orginal Nord stand?

I just read that the pedal keys is wither than the stand.

Dont buy 18950 if you gonna use Nord Pedals 27.

The 18950 is adjustable in length? Are you sure?

The 18950 might work, as it is (other than the 18953) width-adjustable?!

I use a 18953 for my Roland x6. Good stand But not enough deep for organ with double manuals.

I use 18950 for my hammond sk2. Perfect combination. But i dont play basspedals in that rockband.

I believe the "OnStage" brand "Table-style stand" ( http://onstagestands.com/) can be widened to a more than adequate width, and is much less expensive ($60-80 instead of about $250) than the KM. I've heard that it's not quite as sturdy as the KM. I braced mine by using a plywood "floor" which the legs are bolted to, and the pedals sit on, the organ, a C2 is velcroed to the stand, and the entire unit is quite solid. It also keeps the pedal set from directly sitting on dirty floors, which is nice.

Also check out "Z" style stands. Many of those can be widened enough for pedals. The OnStage catalog is a good place to start, they are generally available and inexpensive.

I might mention (okay, I guess I will mention) that even when I'm not bringing pedals, and use an X-brace stand, I still make sure there are matching velcro patches to stick the organ to the stand. Clonewheel organ are light (Nord the lightest) and a pull on a cord, a swinging guitar neck, or a stumbling lead singer can easily send them crashing to the floor. (Of course, I stand there and yell "Watch the wood, damn it!" all night, I gotta get something to put over those wooden end-pieces.)

I use the OnStage 'Table style stand' (pd. $49.95 @ 4-5 yrs ago) with PK7a 20note pedals and there is space to expand even more. Very sturdy. I'd start there.

I have a 25-note pedal board from an old German Wersi organ, and the 18950 is one of the few keyboard stands that can accomodate it. I'm not sure if that helps you though.

I have an Onstage KS7150 platform stand and it fits over my new Nord PK 27 pedals
