Clavia Nord Keyboard Stand EX

I have somewhat limited experience with keyboard stands, but I did a lot of research before getting this one and I'm happy that I went with this choice for my Nord Piano. It's very stable, and as the legs are screwed into a solid plate attached to the bottom of the keyboard, there is no risk of the keyboard falling if someone were to bump into it, etc. The one drawback would be that the height is non-adjustable. For my purposes, however (the keyboard is stationary and set up in my room), it's what I needed, and a good height -- putting the top of the keys within the regular piano key height range.

On the whole this is a great stand in a beautiful form factor, and leaving lots of space underneath for pedals and your legs. I'm very happy with my purchase, and much prefer it to my cross-legged folding stand.

There are, however, two (minor) drawbacks:

1. Its not a folding stand, so there is some assembly and disassembly required when travelling with it.

2. There are extensions to turn it into a stand suitable for playing while standing up, however I'm 5ft 10in and these aren't quite long enough to allow me to stand comfortably - I still have to stoop a little. So if you are taller than me beware!

In summary, if you are using it in a seated position and aren't travelling a lot with it, its definitely worth the money.

This stand is sturdy and very stable, and doesn't get in the way of your legs and feet, which is great for using pedals.

It's pretty easy to mount, but you need to take your nord keyboard upside down every time for that - not a big problem for me. The first time you mount it is a little more work because you have to screw a permanent support to your keyboard, but then that support stays there (and doesn't prevent you from placing the keyboard on a table top, or any other stand, like you would have before) and subsequent mounting or removal of the legs is very easy.

You can't adjust the height though. The height is that of a real piano's keyboard, which means you'll need a piano seat (or a seat of same height) to play comfortably. Not ideal for sitting on a regular chair - that would be too low. At least for me, and I am 1.69m tall - a rather average Human size I suppose.

Anyway, I would buy it again.
