Special discounted price, from Frank at AudioWorks CT, when first launched, was $2799.

Thanks,
Paul

Can you attach a mic boom to that Griffin stand?

Hi Don,

There is no official mic boom attachment accessory for that Griffin stand.

However, we can always use generic microphone clamp to clamp a mic boom arm or goose-neck to the keyboard stand such as this On-Stage TM03 table microphone clamp for grips between 0.625" and 1.625":
On-Stage TM03 Table Microphone Clamp

I measured the thickness of the double brace back bar of the Griffin stand (for second tier support) and it is within range of the above mic clamp.


Thanks,
Paul

Thanks, but I already decided against it. I love the old A-frame double tier stands and have misplaced the one for 76-note kb, but I'll find it. I think.

Hi Bachus,

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I also read some negative reviews on this keyboard & laptop stand before I ordered it. The one that I received through Amazon has very reasonably good construction, very solid and stable when all the screws are tighten. The front legs can swing in and out any time for deeper or wider lower tier keyboard. Maybe they improved their product quality over time. I noticed that the second tier supports have 2 thumb screws below, on each side. If these thumb screws are not well tighten, the upper keyboard could fall.

Currently I use the Griffin 2-Tier KB & laptop stand for V-Console for Genos, so far so good for home studio setup.


One big advantage of this KB & laptop stand is ample leg and foot space. I put a 13-note Roland PK5 MIDI bass pedal, 2 piano style sustain pedals, and a volume pedal under the stand, and there is still available space.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul, itw was the welding/solding that just broke off .. there is aome part on the lower end plate where the upper stand gets connected to the lower.. where the whole weight of the upper keyboard rests on the welding/solding.. that broke off

The lower tale part however indeed rocks and is very spacious... i currently use a k&m table stand which yields the same amount of place under the keyboards..


Looks like you also replaced the px 560?

Yes, I returned the PX560M to pair with the Ketron SD90 module, which is more picky on MIDI timing. My 18-year-old Yamaha S80 88-key synth works fine with the VConsole setup but has some occasional stuck MIDI notes when used with the SD90.

Thanks,
Paul
