What kind of stand do you recomend, I have a Solton X1 HD, Fatar midi pedals(17), a Volume pedal and I´m considering also the Roland VA 7, the problem with the X stands is that you can not fit under the midi pedals&volume, the A frame is impractical, I saw in a magazine once a keyboard stand w/2 keyboards and midi pedals, it did look similar to the aphex column, but this was cromed, anyone saw it too?? if so please let me know what brand, model, etc.
Thanks

I use a platform keyboard stand. Its extremely sturdy and holds my PSR9000 with no bobbinb or weaving as I play. Height is adjustable and plenty of room for foot switches, etc. Musician's Friend was the best deal I could find. Here's the URL: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ex/shop/k...=&netpid=452030

I forgot to say that both height and width are adjustable. For $49 you can't beat it.

Bespeco is a italian keboard stand company that makes the chrome looking column stand thats similar to the ultimate support aphex stand except that it has space underneath for your pedals without legs getting in the way. It also has the ability to be adjusted to any angle you want the two tiers to be set at and the height of both stands is fully adjustable. The nice thing about this stand is that unlike the aphex column, the column doesn't go all the way down to the floor and get in your way. At a certain point, it's column goes to the left and to the right, leaving a space at the bottom for pedals and feet, and a third leg comes out to the back, which folds in for storage. The retail price for this stand is $249.00, I sell it for $149.00.
Another very strong stand, but not as portable is the Quick lock Z stand with the second tier. It is the most stable stand I know of. I use them all around my store for displays. They list at $275.00.

I think the Bespeco keyboard stand (The Apollo) looks pretty nice. However, modorantes may be thinking of the stand pictured in the Music Player Network advertisements. See the September, 2000 issue of Keyboard Magazine on page 90. I would like to know what stand that is.

Bespeco Apollo looks very neat and has a lot of accessories to make it even better.

Another sturdy two-tier keyboard stand that allows space for MIDI foot controllers and various pedals - I guess Quik Lok Z-726 (or Z-726L for very wide keyboard) is very good starting point. We can build a complete mobile stage/studio keyboard station by adding following accessories to the Z-726 stand:

2 Z-731 shelfs (for speakers/monitors)
Z-732 music stand
X-728 telescopic mic boom
ZM-99 caster kit (for mobility, with locks)

The following picture is an interesting example of setup (without casters and speaker shelves):

I just bought a Standtastic keyboard stand from LJ (LM Products) and am very satisfied so far (only had it a few days). There is plenty of room for pedals and it is a very sturdy stand. I would also recommend the carrying case which is another $15 but well worth it.

I have always had trouble finding a stand that is high enough (I'm 6'5"), sturdy enough, very easy to set up & take down and that also has lots of room for pedals. This one does all that. If you want any more of my opinion, let me know.

who sells these standastic stands?

From my understanding StandTastic keyboard stands are only available directly through the manufacturer, LM Products.

After I checked out there website, http://www.lmproducts.com/standtastic.html I called them directly (800-876-7651) to order the product and recieved it in about a week of my order.
