Digital Piano Stands - Overview and Recommendations

Introduction:

Digital stage / slab pianos are built to be portable - something light-weight enough that musicians can carry it for short distances, transport it in cars or public transit, or store it in small spaces like a closet, dorm-room, or a touring van. Manufacturers achieve the smaller footprint mostly by compressing the electronics and speakers (much like a laptop vs a desktop) and ridding it of it’s pedals and furniture.

Type 1: The “X” Stand

This simple design gets its name from it’s design. There are two sets of 2 steel pipes each connected with a steel strut. There is a scissor-type folding action with a basic axel that connects the two sections; this design allows the stand to be collapsed completely flat, making it the lightest, easiest, lowest cost stand on the market. It also has the lowest weight rating and isn’t known for its durability.

When to use them:

Where portability or cost is the only consideration, and your piano weighs less than 40 lbs (ideally less than 30 lbs).


Type 2: The “Double X” Stand

This is an improvement on the first design, where the horizontal pipes that act as the feet and platform are braced with two sets of scissoring struts, instead of one set as with the first design.

When to use them:

Where portability and cost is top priority, and your instrument is somewhere between 40 - 70 lbs.


Type 3: The Z Stand

The Z-stand is one of the best blends of portability and stability on the market. Several companies make the type with a few differences in how they collapse. But once fully deployed, they’re all virtually the same.

There are two steel ‘Z’s which sit parallel to each other, connected by two telescoping shafts, and the vertical part of the ‘Z’ also telescopes, giving the stand both height and width adjustment.

When to use them:

If you have the budget for a $100 - 150 stand, and it will be receiving frequent use and/or moves, this is an ideal option (with the collapsing arms). They’re rugged, stable, and can handle the most heavy and large of the keyboards out there. Hercules and Roland both make a great option.

When not to use them:

For super small keyboards in the 61 or 76 note range that are 20lbs or smaller, this would be overkill.


Type 4: The Folding Table Style Stand

I don’t actually know if the industry has a ‘name’ for this, but these types of stands look like those ubiquitous folding tables that you see at every wedding or event hall. The top of the table is rectangular, and two sets of legs swing down from hinges along the two short sides of the table.


Type 5: The “T” Stand

The final stand type is referred to as a T stand, since that’s precisely what it looks like when folded up. There are four articulating arms, all with a 90 degree elbow, which form the legs of the stand. They’re attached at either end of a central spine, and are highly flexible.
