Subject:Re: Stand

Hi guys
thanks for your responses.
I know. the Bx3 wont be stable in a second tier because of its depth. So i figured i could
place the Bx3 on its own stand, and make some extra custom tiers for the nord, but
somehow i would attach them below the MAIN place, reserved for the bx3. So the second
tiers are actually the lower tiers. Its just an idea, i dont even know if its functional.
As for my Nord Stage, it will hopefully arrive next week... its a shame, i used to celebrate
any new piece of gear i buy, but there are so many bad reviews, so high expectations...
Have anyone heard the piano demos on the clavia site??? they dont sound that bad, maybe
they used some studio tricks on the sounds? does they sound the same when you actually
play the instrument?
guess not. If i don't like it, i will probably return it to the store, and then get a nord electro
73 for rhodes sounds with maybe a motif rack, and i could even get a fatar 88 controller,
for under 3000 us (price of the stage)
any suggestions are well received

> The problem you are going to have using a 2-tier system with the BX-3 is that the BX
-3 is rectangular in shape with a very wide depth. Using a 2nd tier stand with the BX-3
will force you to push the keyboard to where it will sit on the lower stand in a potentially
unsafe and unbalanced way, causing it to go crashing on to the floor.

problem sitting my 61-note Korg Triton LE on top of the BX-3. I would check out the
heavy duty Qwik-Lok stand (WS-550??) but I'm not sure what the model number is.

go with an XK 3. It is a compromise for the organ sounds and actually will not provide a
note if depressed slowly. I would hate to transport it by myself. 76 keys would still give a
few extra notes lower and higher than 61 notes and that is near the end of useful range
for most sounds. An 88 note would not go into a pickup truck alongside the driver I don't
think and would be a problem in a passenger car.
