18810 Black : Exceptional quality

This stand is unbelievably stable. I'm using it with two keyboards with the second tier option (18811) and it doesn't move at all when playing either of them. It's a night and day difference compared to the various x-stands I've used over the years. The vertical legs leave a huge amount of space for your pedals and feet, and it also includes velcro ties that keep all the cables out of the way. And of course the entire thing is extremely well built (like every other K&M product I've owned).

Both tiers include big, chunky rubber pads you can install in exactly the right place for each synth. My keyboards feel like they're glued onto this thing. I have my primary MIDI keyboard (NI Komplete Kontrol S49 mk1) on the first tier, and I've never really liked using aftertouch until now, because it involves pressing down quite hard on a key, which has always felt wobbly and unpleasant on x-stands. The keyboard flexes slightly, but the stand doesn't move at all.

I wish I could lower the second tier a little bit more. I have it at the minimum height and maximum angle (20º) and I wouldn't mind if it was a few cm lower. I'm also planning to add the third tier at some point (18822), which will be even higher up. If you don't mind the second tier being at less of an angle, you can lower it a bit more (about 12 mm), but the change in angle raises the front of the keyboard, and I have a synth with tons of controls on the second tier (Roland System 8), so the max angle works better for me.

Other than that, I couldn't be happier with this stand. The exceptional build quality and stability have made it much more enjoyable to use my keyboards.
