Either do the other pictures 61/88

The second pic with the NP-30 as lower seems to be okay...the first one surely ain't...

I'd find it very awkward using the arranger on the top tier...button and PB/Mod wheel (when using NP-30) access would be very clumsy.

Hey I used to use a 3 stack like these pics, angled next to a B3 years ago with the band, .....
I'm glad times have changed for the better in some ways.
But as with any setup....its very personal & must be a comfort level for the individual player always first.






Sigh

I used to like stacking them on top of one another.

Ahhhh the old days !!

That's a seriously LOW position for that Polymoog, Ian... I'm sure your piano teacher would have fits with you hunched over like that, playing down by your knees!

Ha Ha...good one, Diki.

Actually my friend, the Polymoog and the Wurly (which was on it's supplied legs) are at the same height...the bench was a tad high but made necessary by my need to access the piano on top of the Poly, which I used for clavinet type sounds(it was plugged into the Moog's filter).

There weren't many (if any) multiple stands available back then....and, actually, very few stands at all...hence the stacking being necessary.

I ended up replacing the drummer's throne with a real old wooden piano stool that wound up and down to a much greater degree...great fun.

I eventually went to a Yamaha SK-20 that was stacked on a Yamaha CP-30(nice expansive flat top)...gave me organ/synth/strings and a pretty decent wurly/pianet/pseudo Rhodes sound...and the keyboards were closer together as well.

Ian

BTW...remember how hard it was to stack things on the earlier Rhodes with the rounded top?
I remember my old one (that I bought second hand) had a shielding kit installed in the lid so anything stacked on top(probably a Hohner Clavinet) would not cause electrical interference issues.

[B]I just purchased the latest model of the QL-642 which is fully adjustable. I've been using the older version for 5 years and have never had a problem. It's a heavy-duty stand that is built like a tank.

Gary, I am familiar with the stand you are getting, what will you use the two second tier units for?
