jerry316 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 As a newbie, I’m planning to purchase a new PX-560 once they become available again. I’m trying to decide on the best stand to get, an “X” stand, a “Z” stand, or the Casio wooden (particle board). stand. I don’t need portability as the setup will remain in the house, at least for the foreseeable future. My main concern is stability... back/forth and front/back movement. I’m leaning toward the Casio stand because I’d like the built-in triple pedals, but I’ve read in a couple of places that it’s not real stable. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thx, jerry316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I use the particle board Casio stand-its heavy and seems pretty stable to me. I don't have it attached with the screws and it still stays pretty solidly in place, although if you will keep this in place, I would attach it. I also use an A-frame and a steel Z-frame for portability, since the PX is so easy to move around. The Z-frame is very strong-can hold just about anything and can be easily adjusted to fit shorter keyboards or full 88-key digital workstations or pianos, can be taken apart quickly and easily but might be overkill for the PX560 since it is so lightweight.

AndrewL Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I wouldn't dare to say it's the best, but it's a very good alternative. I just bought a Stagg MXS-A3, and I like it quite a lot. It's very firm and especially very easy to fold, and when folded it's much smaller and easier to carry than any X-type stand. I've read good reviews on Amazon so I went for it. The only thing which I still have to solve is that the rubber bumpers of the upper tubes are on the tips and apparently cannot be moved to a closer position to match the keyboard's depth, so I may need to add another rubber bumper or the like. I've contacted support about this, I will update this comment when I get a reply. But if you don't need your stand to be easy to transport, I think Z-types are probably the best option. Just see what professionals use and that will surely lead you in the right direction. Update: confirmed: they cannot be moved in, so you need to add some extra rubber bumper or foam rubber.

mike71 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Another option is the https://ie.gewamusic.com/product/7611/gewa-equipment-stand-.html GEWA equipment stand, ou can adjust the leg and stabilize it on an uneven floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This is the other stand i was referring to in my above post. Extremely sturdy and can fit a heavy duty 2nd tier stand onto it. I use this in addition to my stock Casio stand when I want to set up in a portable venue. Can be adjusted to use for sitting or standing, and takes apart pretty quickly, but needs the hex wrench to take apart completely, but just for the cross-piece.
