Yamaha YKA7500 Professional Double X Style Keyboard Stand - Heavy Duty Adjustable Black Keyboard Stand for Musicians, Bands & Home Studios | Perfect for Live Performances, Recording & Practice

This is one impressive stand.I didn't know that a keyboard stand could impress me this much, until I tried its cheaper sibling (Yamaha PKBS1 Single Braced Adjustable X-Style Keyboard Stand). That one felt flimsy, and I never felt comfortable with it holding our fairly large sized Yamaha keyboard - a PSR E413. In the end, we returned it and tried this one instead. Despite costing about 4 times as much, this is without doubt the keyboard stand to get.The pros:1. It was insanely easy to put together - the pieces literally snap together and are color coded to boot - with about a half dozen screws in all.2. There's a sturdy and solid feel to it - something we noticed right as soon as we picked it up outside our door.3. The interlocking deadbolt/lever mechanism is simply a dream to use - it works well for quick adjustments to the height of the stand.4. The top supports that hold the keyboard in place, are exactly what I was hoping to find.Both arms telescope so they can fit in multiple keyboard widths, and there's a locking screw in place that prevents them from moving apart once adjusted. Finally, the grips that hold on to the keyboard are rubberized - so no stray scratches.The cons:1. The instructions could have been a bit better perhaps - it took me a few seconds to figure out how the hand lever worked to adjust the stand - but it's actually not too hard to figure out - it was just too late in the evening for me :)In conclusion - we are thrilled with this stand - and would heartily recommend it to others. The extra cost was well worth the improved quality to us.Happy playing!
