König & Meyer K&M 18860 Keyboard stand »Spider Pro« anodized aluminum

I bought the K&M Spider Pro stand - and love it. Infinitely adjustable, stable, robust and I can put my pedals underneath it - which you can't with some of the competitors. I use a mic boom from the mounting on the top and wanted to also include my tablet in the setup. I used a K&M 19740 tablet holder that I had from my old X-stand setup and attached to the mic boom. That felt like it was going to overload the Konig & Meyer Spider Pro Keyboard Standboom and the screw in the top. So I bought this universal holder. and put the business end of the Tablet Holder onto the bracket. Absolutely spot on - clamps on in seconds - height adjustable on the stand and brings the tablet up front above my second keyboard. Absolutely what I wanted and - as with all things K&M - seemingly well engineered and robust.

This keyboard stand is outstanding, there is a cheaper copy available for about £55 but I doubt it is in this class. When you have expensive keyboards sitting on a stand you need faith that it will not let you down, I guarantee that this won't. It's not the cheapest out there but it just oozes quality and is very easy to assemble. This stand is well worth the money and will keep your equipment firmly in place and looks great as well. In my opinion It's a worthwhile investment.

It's very well made and sturdy (and expensive!). It could be improved if both tiers were adjustable, angle-wise. My top keyboard is a Yamaha Tyros 3, which is quite deep (front to back) so it means that, to achieve a comfortable playing position, my lower keyboard (Kurzweil piano) has to be on the very final adjustment, so the lower arms are fully extended. As it's also quite a heavy piano, this results in a definite downward tilt of the lower level. I've been using two small pieces of wood to act as wedges between the keyboard and the stand arms, to make my lower keyboard level, which to be honest is a bit of a pain. It's only a small point, and for other people using different keyboards it won't be a problem. So...good stand but not perfect...room for improvement

This is a bit more bulky than other column stands and a bit more expensive but it is really worth it. If you tried it in a shop you would buy it! Very well built and sturdy. No comparison with others I have used. Completely adjustable to your preference at home, studio or on stage, no more struggling to access the lower keyboard or see the screen. It really is excellent.

I used it with a custom laser-cut plate to hold my mixer, mains block and two power supplies. Only useful if you own a Konig & Meyer Spider keyboard stand, but it's made my rig a bit neater.

Works exactly as stated. As a keyboard player / vocalist I wanted to fit an iPad holder (K&M 19712) AND a mic boom arm to my Spider pro - and this works very well, allowing the standard boom arm accessory to be fitted to the top of the stand. There could be an issue with the maximum height of your top keyboard as the clamp obviously stops you putting the upper keyboard to maximum height. This depends on your height - I'm 6"1 and it's just right - 6'5 and you might find the height less then ideal. In the same vein, the iPad mounted on the 19712 holder could obscure your keyboard display - depending what keyboard you have. I use a Roland FA-06 on top and the iPad in portrait mode does obscure the display if I have the keyboard at maximum height. However I can happily lower the keyboard a little and am also happy to use in Landscape. An iPad mini would be less obstructive. All in all, works for me and makes my whole Keyboard, iPad, Microphone set up way smarter than it used to be

Great stand but wrong finish on it the main upright part should be black anodised aluminium mine can painted black for some unknown reason

Over the years I have used X-stands and table-top style stands. I always found x-stands to be inherently unstable, but they were almost always the only choice in local stores. I decided to try a table-top style and it was definitely more stable, if a little pedestrian looking. Then I happened to play with another keyboard player who was using the Baby Spider Pro and I loved it! So I immediately ordered one for myself and it is one of the best purchases I have made for a long time! I play sitting down and the sheer range of height adjustment is brilliant as is the space beneath it for my peddles! I have also bought the solid music stand attachment which I use for my 2 tablets (mixing desk and lyrics).The other keyboard player had 2 tiers on his so I know it could work (even with the music stand) if I wish to in the future.This thing is VERY solid and looks like it is built to last! Highly recommended.
