Not sure if I agree totally, at home I use an 18810 with a Kawai MP11(34kg) on bottom and a NS4 Compact on top. There is some wobbling, not sideways, but to and from maybe due to the rubber feets. An 18950 with extra tier feels totally free of wobbling.gitarrenzupfer wrote: ↑24 May 2024, 22:04 Hello,
I use 2 K&M18810s in the studio. One as a triple stand and one for a Studiologic SL 990pro (40 pounds, 88 keys).
What I love about these stands is that they are completely stable and don't wobble in any way. I could easily stand on the stand without fear of it collapsing.

sorry, I thought wobbling was more like "snap up" between the right and left hand when pressing a key firmlyThere is some wobbling, not sideways,

Re: Stand for Nord Stage 4 for home and gigging?
My favourite Stands of all time (and I had MANY) are:
My following tips at the end:
- The K&M Spider Pro, maybe the baby spider. Looks most professional, and you can buy a vast array of accessories for it (second tier stand is included but "hidden" in the column if you don't need it, the arming /disarming of the 2nd tier is a matter of - I'm not kidding - 5 seconds), such as laptop holders, tablet holders, ... You can see the baby spider in my profile photo. However, maybe not the best solution for home, in case you want to sit down (depends on your preference).
- The K&M Omega as already stated before. It's rock solid, easy to arm / disarm, and quite sturdy (no problems with a heavy stage piano plus Nord Stage). See a photo in my post of today: (LINK HERE). The stand is not as pretty as the Spider, but very functional, leaves you a lot of space. It's the one I currently use and everyone is happy with it (mostly me). Setting up a second tier is a little less uncomplicated than with the Spider Pro, and you need the accessories.
My following tips at the end:
- Don't buy the Electrically adjustable Omega, far too expensive and what I hear a nightmare to transport (no folding feet etc).
- Don't try to cheap out on the keystand. If you are ready to shell out 4000 USD for a Nord Stage you should be ready to invest 200-300 USD in a decent keyboard stand. Remember: Who buys cheap, buys twice.
- Consider getting one for the stage, and - maybe a cheaper one - for home. Like that you don't need to arm/disarm and lug around everything. Maybe an X-Stand for your home which you just leave there when you gig.
