Ok, since no ones mentioned it yet . . . Quik Lok makes some of the sturdiest, most versatile stands that I’ve seen. I have the Z-model, and its very stable. QL is also great because all of their accessories are interchangeable. Check them out:
I looked at those. I don’t like to spend a lot of money on stands, and Quik Lok’s rarely show up on the used market. They are held in very high esteem, from people who have them.
Everyone has been extremely helpful. Spitfire, I checked out that website and it is gold, exactly what I’ve been looking for. The next couple of months I will be tight and i meantight on money, but come April when I buy the stand I will definitely come back to this thread to let you all know what I chose–and how it works out of course. Any recommendations for a stand where I can put the voyager + the VX, CP (maybe foogers too, although that will be a long way away) all in one?
As for the all-in-one solution, the same stand will do. Just buy the stackers separately as needed and you’ll expand the hell out of it… I think you can have up to 4 or 5 pairs of stackers added on there. Maximum weight for the K&M Omega: 100 lbs. The stackers themselves take support up to 50 lbs. If you have the Minimoog Voyager on level one, and the VX, CP, and a few foogers on the second level, you’ll be fine. I would post a pic of both my Minimoog Voyager Lunar Impact edition on one stand and the Moog/Oberheim custom on the other stand, but I have no clue how to post pics here. (I tried “flickr” but still, all I could post was a link to the pics and not the pics themselves).
Good luck bro. Put up some pics of your setup once it is all ready to go.
Sounds good, and will do. And I’m no forum expert (hence my whopping 7 posts), but I think you can use the “Img” tool in the reply window to post pictures.
Hi!
I’m looking for a sturdy stand for my voyager that is taller than avarage. The stands i find are about 100cm at their highest but i vould need around 110-115cm for a more ergonomic playing.
Is there any stands that feels sturdy at that hight?
It would be nice if they’re found in Scandinavia or Europe.
Stylistically, I like them because their width can be shortened so that the legs seem to exactly come from the corners of whatever keyboard you put on them. It’s a very clean look; and nothing gets in the way of your pedals (even organ pedals).
Ergonomically, I like them because, at 6’ 2", I can stand up tall and play.
I have a Z stand (link below), am also 6’ 2", and can easily stand while playing. In fact, I have never actually raised it to full height so … there’s plenty of height for you.
What I love best about the Z stand is that it folds up so easily and compact, and is easy to carry (although it is somewhat heavier). And you never have to worry about tipping it forward or backward while you rock out (unlike X stands).
It holds up to 375 lbs, has adjustable Width (as well as height), and can really take a beating. I have used it mostly to play my Hammond XK-3c, which weighs slightly more than the Voyager at around 48 lbs. Played many stages with it, including the wedding rental stage platforms that shake when the singers jump up and down, and never had a single issue. Sturdy as a rock.
