The best keyboard stand for the money is The ProX X-ZSTN Foldable Z-Stand on E-bay for only 68.40 US dollars....
Hello,
Where do you put the control and sustain pedals ?

Hm... do you mean because of the photo? I think you can put the keyboard facing the other way, so there is space on the right side of the "Z" ?

Get a dust cover for the keyboard (especially underneath a whiteboard) to keep dust and debris from getting into the key contacts (a common issue with Nords). Enjoy!

Yes, because of the photo, and the second one too :

The stand looks very interesting ,
I'd like to know how much it weighs ?

Today I ordered the Millenium-2000. I ended up with the model because:
  • It is not as deep as the K&M 18950, but still deep enough for the board.
  • It is width adjustable and deeper than the K&M 18953. The K&M 18953 is sleek, but I am afraid that it would be a bit small for my board.
At first I thought that it would also be suitable for the second tier, but now that I look it up again that does not seem to be the case. I think I will be fine though.
I did consider the Z-stand as well, but I could not find any good shipping options to Denmark.

Thanks to pterm for the dust advice. I was not thinking about that.
And thank you all very much for all of your comments! I must say that it makes for a warm welcome, now that it is my first post and my first Nord.

Yeah, the PROX X-ZSTN stand would probably be costly to send over seas... It's a very sturdy foldable stand , and weighs around 27 lbs...Pedals fit under the stand no matter which way you set your Keyboard on it, and the rubber feet meet the Nord Compact both ways as well...For 68 bucks it was great deal for a good stand...

allanerlang: congrats to your purchase. I think it's a good decision for you. To me the 2000 looks better than the 18953 in two points: greater depth and the holes for the nord's rubber feet. Enjoy it. If it happens that you play live someday in Danmark then let me know. I always search a good reason to go there since I'm no longer a sailor. Sunny regards from Germany.

I use one for my Stage 3 compact and NE5D, I really like it, very quick to put up and down. Pic has my old Stage but you get the idea - nice and red!
