i've had a look at the links you gave , but they don't mention which legs to use on the front and the back :?


Hi Rob,
I believe that all four legs should be the same. The thick, coarse threaded portion is for the stand plate closest to the instrument and the other smaller diameter is for the height adjusting extensions, and one end of the crossbraces (back legs only)

The eight tips (lower left in photo) are the height adjustments, (short ones for sitting, longer ones for standing)
The crossbraces (long Zee shaped bars) mount in between the height adjuster and the rear leg(s)on one end, and the center, underside of the instrument on the other end.
I hope this helps.
Cheers, hanon

ok, got it .

it's up and it seems to stay up !

thanks for your help

it wouldn't have hurt for Nord to stick an A4 sheet in with the legs.

still couldn't work out where the sticky pads go !

Hi Rob,
my US rep confirmed that the rubber sticky pads are supposed to go in between the stand bracket(s) and the underside of the instrument.
They're to prevent marring of the black, underside paint by the metal stand bracket(s), also provides some vibration dampening.
I'm glad that you got it put together :thumbup:
Please post back with your thoughts about the stand after you've spent some time with it, I'm looking to buy one also.
Cheers, Hanon

I cant see the pads doing much as there are only two of them and whereever they were placed , it wouldnt stop the bracket making contact with the underside of the keyboard.

I would imagine someone would be better off using small felt dots scattered around the face of the place to stop anything scratching.

The stand us extremely stable and the perfect height for playing sitting down.

Time to ditch the Apex Column!

I know that's right! :thumbup:
I have a bunch of X stands and some legacy A frames from the eighties :(

I find myself just taking the NSEx out to gigs, and sure would be nice having the legs instead of those miserable ironing board stands.
Cheers, Hanon

My legs came with a little piece of paper illustrating the proper way to assemble them. Yours didn't have any instructions?

Unfortunately not - it wasnt difficult to assemble , but instructions could have speeded up the process !

Im still curious about those two rubber pads !

Hi Rob,
Clavia Nord was kind enough to send me the Stand Ex assembly instructions which I'll attach/ upload to the forum.
In short, the two rubber bumpers go on the back of the instrument to prevent the jacks from hitting the floor when you're assembling the stand.
I was also told that outward force on the rear legs is necessary to get the crossbraces secured with the handknob(s),
this tension helps steady the instrument...."this was a question from a previous thread".

See now this is weird.

These are not the instructions that came with my legs. I should really find the time to go up in the attic and find my box and scan it in.

:wtf:

It would still be greatly appreciated if you did. :thumbup:
Other than the PDF that Nord sent me, this is the closest that I have seen to instructions:
