Re: 3 tier stand
In my experience the best stands are Standtastic.

Re: 3 tier stand
I heard König & Meyer do the best ones. I passed close to buying one than chose I didn't need a 3 tier stand. If I would have bought one it would have been this one.

Re: 3 tier stand
I have several On Stage 3 tier stands and nave had any issues. I've algo got a couple of "X" style 3 tier stands - no issues. Lastly, I've got an USS Apex stand I've had for 20+ years that I added a 3rd tier to with the extra long arms/bars - no issues except there's no place to store the 3rd set of arms/bars when not in use and there's not really a comfortable place to place pedals on the floor.
I have heard from many people that the Standtastik stands are extremely sturdy, but my only gripe there isn't too much space left on the floor for pedals - through there is more room than with Apex columns.

Re: 3 tier stand
Am I right in assuming that playing keys and knob-twiddling on a 3rd tier isn't too comfortable, especially for a shorter fellow like myself?

Re: 3 tier stand
True, but I plan to have my xpander on the third tier. It's really easy to program and with the current 3 tier I have, theres no issues with programming it while sitting on a stool. Other than the few patch programming scenarios, the xpander doesnt need to be twiddle with as much as other instruments.
I think standtastic so far seems up my ally. Not sure if I want to try wall moutning some stuff. Could free up a lot fo space, which is a neat idea.

Re: 3 tier stand
I did the Standtastic wall-mount. I saved a lot of money by using standard industrial strut from Home Depot though.

Re: 3 tier stand
Oh I wasn't saying it is awkward or uncomfortable. I've never tried a 3-tier but have considered one for the same space-saving reasons as you. So Im just interested in the cons. A height-adjustable stool is a pretty good idea.phesago wrote:True, but I plan to have my xpander on the third tier.

Re: 3 tier stand
Well, besides having badass input, you have a bad a*s wall! LOL For real nice, easy, simple way of doing it. Looks great. Def my thing I think...synthparts wrote:I did the Standtastic wall-mount. I saved a lot of money by using standard industrial strut from Home Depot though.
Con wise, its spacey if you dont put some thought into it first. Cheap plastic is bullshit, and weight capacity is a serious restriction depending on the brand. The onstage stuff I have is ok, but cant hold as much per tier as I was hoping. Whatevs happens.GuyaGuy wrote:Oh I wasn't saying it is awkward or uncomfortable.
