Adam Hall SKS-22 XB d. Keyboard Stand 4-stars Reviews

Great stand

Great stand, build quality looks great too. No handle for carrying makes it a pain the move. And even a basic thin carry case would have been ideal.

Other then that it works well.

Adams 2 x keyboard stand

Compact when collapsed and put away and sturdy and strong when set up. Also looks good on stage as opposed to the X-type stand.

Only real problem is floor vibrations coming up through integrated microphone boom stand.

If this could be rectified it would be great,

Ok for home use

I just use it at home for recording, if you are using it professionally on live stages, maybe you should look at something more stable, this keeps moving, since I just use it at home, its fine for me

Careful Matching Required!

This is a tricky one. In my experience this stand has some strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what you want to use this for (and more importantly, WITH) this may or may not best the best solution for you.

This is what I've found (in comparison to the Ultimate Apex which I use and from which the SKS-22XB is clearly derived):

Strengths:

Good build-quality

Chunky, rugged base stabiliser

Arms fold directly into the stand rather than being removed (as in the Apex)

Relatively cheap (at about half the price of the Apex)

Weaknesses:

No handle - therefore not easy to pick up with one hand

The column itself is s little shorter than the Apex. (If you're 6' plus you might find the top tier not quite high enough)

Less stable with longer/heavier keyboards.

I initially put my Yamaha S90ES and Motif XS7 on this stand - NOT good. Too much instability. Because there is no clamp (as on the Apex) when the lower board is against the column you can't see the display. yet pull it out a little and it loses stability. Instead I use my Apex for these boards and the Adam Hall holds my Korg Trinity and Korg CX-3. These are both lighter and shorter (61-keys) and the Adam hall stand works fine.

Verdict? Great for smaller boards and synths. Be wary of using this for longer & heavier stage pianos/workstations
