K&M 18810 Black Reviews

Great stand, not very portable

This stand is great for its stability and build quality. It also looks great and leaves lots of space for even the biggest pedalboards (I use it for organ with a 25-keys bass pedalboard and it fits just fine).

The only downside is that it's not foldable, so transportation is not very practical. Even when you remove the "T" legs, you have to fit in the car 3 big pieces of metal, and you have to remove the screws to disassemble it, so be careful not to lose anything!

But if you are not going to move it often, or you have a van/big car where you can stow it assembled, it is simply the perfect stand!

K&M quality

I always trust the K&M equipment having used it for years. Got a couple of these for my studio along with the additional tier accessory to make both two tier. They are great and you can get your legs underneath unlike a cross shaped stand so good for seated positions.

Absolutely would recommend this item. The integration into my home studio provided great flexibility in my overall workflow. The height adjustment knobs are solid and allow great ergonomic adjusting options, no matter if you are using 61 Key or in my case an 88 Key. I can't imagine anyone finding it difficult to get their keyboards to a comfortable height whether standing or sitting. I would definitely buy this again and not even consider another stand. I have used many different stands, but this is by far my favorite. Also not to mention, cable management is really flexible with the integration of a laptop using the stand K&M 18813 Black MKII. Really great product!

Great stand!

It's a great strong and affordable keyboard stand, a recommendation to anyone who wants a real keyboard stand!

Best stand ever

I've used a few X, Z and C stands before. None of them were super stable.

For my digital piano, this time, I wanted something rock solid.

Couldn't be happier with my K&M 18810. Even bought a second one for my other gear.

Super super stable, doesn't lean/inclide with weight (have my CP4 stage on it), super easy to assemble and adjust.

If you plan to move it around (and bring to your gigs/shows) it may be a bit of a problem.

Even if reassembled in the least space consuming configuration it could still be difficult to transport. Check some pictures/videos online to see what I mean.

Also have to say that some of its accessories (probably the ones not many people buy) can be a bit hard to find.

This wasn't a problem for me though.

Works as expected

Really sturdy piece of equipment. Works as expected, no flaws, and easy mount.

Recommended!

Very good !

Stable, perfect for studio, maybe for transport a little uncomfortable.

Easy to store, very simple and beautiful, and the most important part, nice and stable.

Good solid stand but.....

Used for studio set up but can also be used for location, the unit dismantles and can be carried flat. The keyboard can not be attached but we are not concerned that it would be knocked off the stand. The stand is lightweight but very sturdy.

1. Be prepared for slight wobble if fully extended in height, we use it sitting down and it is solid. 2. Minor observation is that the stands 4 large round rubber support for the key board can brush against your legs if low enough when in the sitting position. Some of the accessories for this board are not well thought through. We purchased the mic attachment and the Laptop holder, both very solid in construction.

2. So impressed that we purchased another white stand for a white Yamaha motif xf anniversary.

We always check to see if K&M do the stands we are looking for as they appear to be the best. Tenor and Baritone saxophone, electric guitars, keyboards and mic stands are all on K&M stands. Recommended over 'X' design legs.

I wish I'd bought this earlier

I gig with this stand with a twin keyboard set-up (Kawai MP-7 beneath, Roland D-50 on top) and ? contrary to the cautionary notes from some (non-gigging) reviewers on this site ? it's a doddle.

The top keyboard extenders attach/detach in seconds via sprung bolts; the heavy arms the lower keyboard rest on can be turned through 90º to align with the body of the frame; the frame attaches to the legs with sprung bolts and set-up/break-down is again a matter of seconds.

Stability is excellent, footprint is no problem, height adjusts to my choice? comfortably the best two-keyboard stand I've ever used.

Can take the weight of the studio and not just the keyboard

I was not sure about this stand as it was considerable more expensive than the basic stands, but I am glad I went for this stand.

The build quality is second to none, probably over engineered ten fold, but certainly give you peace of mind that it will not collapse. Fully adjustable and very very sturdy.

I have not used it to gig, but the fact that the bottom feet can go 90 degrees would make moving it around in transit quite easy.

For me it is a permanent fixture in the studio and the only concern would be that on stage it could be knocked off the top at the keyboard just sits on the tops, I might be temped to put a bungee cord over the top of the keyboard and round the stand while away from it, but again that goes for many keyboard stands.

There would seem to be a large number of 'bolt on' additions to the basic stand which is good.

Once set up there is little to no chance of it moving about, it is steady as a rock and out of the keyboard stands I have purchased in the past, this is probably the best yet.

Great purchase, very satisfied, and highly recommended.

K&M

K&M=all you need! reliable an good.

Very sturdy and well made

What a great stand - sturdy enough for my new Yamaha p255 stage piano. Very pleased with it and very quick delivery too.

Stabil und sicher, and it fits under the table"

A high quality keyboard stand, feels perfectly sturdy with my rather heavy Doepfer 88-keys masterkeyboard... I bought it because I wanted to fit the keyboard under the main computer desk and needed some room for my legs, all cross stands take away precious space but this is super! The range of adjustable heights is also quite impressive..

A keyboard stand for lifetime

A bit expensive but is worth every penny. Holds your expensive keyboard very secure. Top class company. I'm very happy with it and I keep coming back for more Add On Accessories.

An excellent stand. Highly stable and well machined. Perhaps too heavy for gigging but perfect for home or studio use. One word of caution - if you consider accessory item K&M 18813-011 (2nd tier keyboard/computer support arms) be aware that you will need a relatively slim primary keyboard. The support arms are 400mm long but the preset connecting points means that there is only 130mm on the trailing side before the arms turn 90 degrees and go up. If you have a wide primary keyboard that is not enough trailing length.

Love this product

I bought this support for my Yamaha Moxf8 and it really is easy to put together. It is robust and in general, a very classy piece of kit. I bought it together with the K&M 18813-11-55 accessory which serves as my pc support or a second keyboard ( fully adjustable ).

It truly is worth paying the money for something that you can trust and not worry that your keyboard is going to end up on the floor which often happens with one of those X things, plus the more sturdy the support the less vibration and wear and tear on your treasured keys, which will give it a longer life!

Best for home studio or private use and not for gigging as the product is not a fold down or dismantled in a couple of mins.

K&M are one of the best manufacturers out there and continue to be innovative and always take into account the musicians needs.

Superbly made but beware the table depth!

The K&M 18810 is a well engineered product, strong enough to handle any keyboard , but it has one major flaw, the table has a fixed depth of 345mm with circular pillars on each end. The Casio PX-350 has a total depth of 293mm but the flat part is only around 270mm . This means if placed to cover the front pillar it wouldn't reach the back one. If K&M would make the table adjustable it would make it useable for smaller keyboards like the Casio.

Sturdy keyboard stand

Pros:

- adjustable height

- modular, can adjust how close or far apart to place the keyboard support arms (there are a few holes to choose from)

- spacious and lots of legroom, easy to play while seated as no obstructing X-shaped legs

- sturdy and no rocking or vibration while playing

- construction feels solid and of good quality

Cons:

- metal legs are solid, quite heavy, need to be careful during assembly (it toppled only lightly onto my toe, yet was solid and heavy enough to cause a bruise)

- base legs protrude out quite a bit at 57cm (longer than the keyboard support arms 33cm), need to have sufficient space to place the stand; in my case, it was not a problem :-)

Sturdy affordable stand

This is by far the best and sturdiest keyboard stand I've ever owned. Compared to my X-styled stands it's steady as a rock. The stand is shipped in parts and is quite easy to assemble, it took me about 10 minutes to unpack and set it up. I wouldn't recommend this on gigs as a mobile tour stand though, unless you have a passion for assembling and disassembling (or have a really big tour van). I use this as a home stand for my Roland RD-700GX and the size is perfect. I used to outermost screw holes for adjusting the top arms to fit the full size of my keyboard. As for adjusting the height, right now I'm using screw hole nr 2 from the bottom. If you're looking for a stand with a really low keyboard height (like in your lap) this may not be the best option. On the other hand there's plenty adjusting height upwards, which should be great for standing players. The look and feel is great as with all K&M stands, and overall I couldn't be more happy with this purchase.
