This stand is awesome, I'm actually going to get a second one for gigs so i can leave my one set up at home (it will replace my Pyle stand I've been using for gigs that is slowly getting more wobbly lol.

    It's fantastic! I've only had it for a a couple weeks, and I already love it. It's making it way easier for me to do everything from record videos for my channel to practicing with my band. I can make the top tier narrow for my laptop while I'm sitting at the piano working out a new video, and then widen it for a second keyboard when needed, and I have an iPad clamp connected to it as well as a mic boom.

    ​@@WayneMusicianUK I think they might be working on attachments like that, but at present I don't think they have those. I bought one clamp at a store and returned it (took 5 full minutes to clamp an iPad, you had to screw and unscrew holders) then I got this one off Amazon it's awesome: geni.us/ReebLUB And I bought a cheap boom arm thinking it was probably cheap for a reason, but it's actually really good I've been using it for all my videos for almost a year and it's still holding up fine (surprisingly strong -holds a heavy mic easy): geni.us/WNzT4

    Thanks so much! Glad you like the stand, still my favourite ever - one of the best features is the back bar you can clamp stuff to (I have a shelf for my mixer, an iPad clamp and a mic boom arm clamped to it- works amazing). Using my older Pyle stand for gigs but may need another liquid stand instead it just works so well. Thanks for checking out the channel feel free to subscribe

    I bought this stand based on this review. It is super stable however the height of the 2nd keyboard from the bottom is just way to big. I feel like I am reaching over my head when playing. I have suggested to Liquid Stands that they add a second attachment point to the 2nd tier that brings the top keyboard down closer to the bottom one.

  • @PianoTone

    I've suggested the same thing! And also some additional holes in the base stand so it can go about 6 inches higher (I play standing with my band and it's just a touch too low). FYI for the upper tier if you want you can attach the upper arms to the back brace upside down and spin the front L things (that keep your upper board from sliding off) 180 degrees - this will bring the upper tier a couple inches down.

    I was confused by the name of the stands thinking they were hydraulic (liquid). Very surprised at the prices, very low. And YES! the double braced "X" stands are the worse in the world for supporting a keyboard without movement..but...I use them because I can mount 19" standard rack gear in the top X area. I bought the Yamaha wood stand and the Ymaha 3 pedal system specifically for my DGX-670, and it is absolutely wonderful, the 3pedal system is the best I have ever used for a Dpiano, and I have been playing keyboards for 55 years. The soft pedal is the FIRST soft pedal that actually sounds just like a soft felt pedal I have ever heard, the sustain and half pedal position is good, and software adjustable. The Liquid bench however may be padded just like a Steinway bench, but this year for the first time, I bought a circular pad bench that rotates, just like a drum thrown, with a very deep pad, and I am really liking the rotation; no more thinking I need to slide across a bench anymore, though sliding on a padded bench is not easy. This small bench (actually stool) has hydraulic height control and is perfect for the piano at seated position, the natural seated height position. You may not like the movement because of a feeling of instability, but after just one practice session I was sold on this bench for piano, or any keyboard for life!

    Thanks that's much appreciated! It's just a cheap mic boom off Amazon that attaches to pretty much anything - only cost me $20 and I love it, super useful. As far as the portability to be honest I've never tried moving it - if I did (I have an SUV with lots of space in the back) I wouldn't have to disassemble it or anything but you could if you needed to.

    Have you used this stand with the DGX-670? The DGX is pretty deep , so wondering if this stand fits ok or if it overhangs the front too much (when 2nd tier is in place).

  • @PianoTone

    I haven’t actually because I have the DGX attached to the wooden stand - I just did a quick measure and the DGX is 17” deep and the arm length is 16” so technically no, but that inch might not matter (this stand is super strong); I’d have to detach the DGX and try it to be sure.

    It's super stable; I've even had a fully weighted 88 key piano (Yamaha CK88 on the top tier) and it's fantastic. To be honest, I haven't been using this for gigs, so I can't comment on the quick takedown - I don't think it would be a big issue. I'm using my prior stand (Pyle) for gigs, and it is actually becoming wobbly (not the main stand, but the second tier is nowhere near as good). I'm probably going to buy another Liquid Stands stand soon for gigs that I can just leave "taken down". With the Pyle one (also a Z stand, I don't really disassemble it, I just slide the width to min, and slide the upper tier down to min height to reduce the size and it fits nicely in my hatchback that way.

    There are heavy rubber straps with holes along like a belt that attach to the stand, and if you have the proper mounting holes on the bottom of your keyboard (some do some don't) then you could attach the keyboard as well. It's not meant to keep your keyboard more steady, it's just meant to make sure your keyboard won't fall off if someone bumps into it.
