After twenty years as the standard for live-performance support, the Apex legacy continues with the new Apex Column Keyboard Stand (AX-90 Series). Apex's support arms are now height, width, length, AND angle adjustable with memory settings for easy set up. Arms attach to built-in column clamps that are infinitely adjustable on tracks running down each side of the column. For playing, arms snap and lock in place; for storage, they fold down on the outside of the stand or store inside the column without interfering with the length settings. Arms accommodate any size keyboard—no need to order longer arms. Apex utilizes Ultimate Support's 'Quad Pod Technology, which makes the traditional column stand more stable; 4 legs provide increased tip resistance and improved center of gravity. Legs lock in place while playing for stable support, even with large 88-note keyboards. This highly versatile and portable stand comes with a custom-fit tote bag with pockets. Available in a wide range of popular colors from the industry-standard Black, and Silver, to White, Pewter, Burnt Orange, Pink, Green, Blue, and Red. Check out pages 22-25

$449.00 ?

Yeah, I saw the ad for the AX-90, but as you point out, the price is way too high for my pocketbook. Too bad you can't just buy the adjustable tiers. One set would do the trick for me.

Some kool colors with this new version & I like the "KILLERS" version with lights on the Apex !!

The angle of the floor bars make them unusable again for me.
I'm allways fighting with the sustain and expression pedal with these stands.

Has anyone seen or used one of these stands? If so where can they be purchased?

I too have been wondering about this for months....has anyone actually seen/used/purchased this new stand yet? I want one! Expensive but if one is gigging it seems like it would be worth the splurge. Room for pedals seems like it might be a problem too, but otherwise it seems to address all of the problems of the venerable Apex column stand, have great features and look pretty cool! Anyway there has been hype about it all year long but it seems like vaporware.
