I’m looking for a stand for my Sub37 (bottom), a Waldorf M and OB6 desktop.
None of these is huge and I’m not too sure where to look… Maybe I’d build one standing on a table if I don’t find anything suitable.
I’ve seen that one (I’m in Germany), it’s expensive. Anybody knows it? Alternatives? BLACKPANTHERSYSTEM Para – Thomann
I wonder if there is a three-tier version of this K&M stand I have? I love it for smaller synths, but this one is just two tier. (Click that for photos). Minimalist and very sturdy.
Thanks for the pointer. Seems the K&M 18810 series is the way to go for me. Not super cheap but sturdy and proven.
or you could build your own smaller stand using their parts section…

change the 4x horizontal bars to shorter 71cm ones maybe ?
I was looking at some K&M stands when I was thinking having a stand on the table for some desktop synths. Ended up getting a four-tier Jaspers stand that also fits my only big keyboard synth (Matriarch).
At first I was thinking stands are stupidly expensive for what they ”do” but now I think a good stand is actually a really solid investment, a huge ”quality of live improvement”.
I think I’ll go for the K&M as the floor occupation is better for my setup.
That’s totally what sold it for me as well. I needed a small footprint. I honestly couldn’t be happier. It’s a beautiful stand, very classy.
(I have a small mic stand from them as well that I love. I’m pretty sure I will go for them for all my stands).
I own a K&M Omega Pro with the two top tiers including their respective table surfaces to hold a Kronos 61 on the base, an Osmose on the first tier and various effects & recording devices on the top. I did not acquire the 8 kg table surface for the base though (which also did not exist back then).
I plan on getting an Obelisque Design Stomp Rack for a slightly larger setup than you described. They have various other sizes and attachments depending on what you’re trying to do. You could also install a vesa mount arm on the side for a DT/DN/whatever you want.
+1, recently got the Obelisque design Elektron stand and it’s very very sturdy.
I would second this.
To begin with it is rock solid, no wobbling and it can be expanded to up to 3 levels in total, plus many other add ons such as platforms for speaker/monitor, note holder, laptop holder, microphone holder. Basically it’s almost infinitely configurable.
If you page down a bit here you can see a simple diagram with some of the possibilities
Agreed, I have used this setup for three years and no issue whatsoever. Plus, the Pro base stand version folds into a transportable form factor. Only “drawback”: with the extensions, you approach the 500eur region.
Probably of no use but i have a 3 tier Ultimate Apex column i want to get rid on in London.
Second hand stands seem impossible to sell, imagine there must be loads out there.
Yup, difficult to sell usually and most definitely at a bargain for the buyer. I still have a 22 year old perfectly functioning Quicklok double X stand which can easily carry a 35kg synth. Would give it away but even for free it appears to be a tough “sell” …
