Subject:RE: Nord C2 Stand?

Craig,

I have one of those aluminum K&M table type stands and it's great. Folds
up easily and weighs about 2 lb. I mounted a boom arm on it and it's also
my mike stand. Very slick and stable. My Stage 88 is very solid on it.
The model number is 18880. You might want to check it out before
springing for the Nord stand.

Cheers, Ken
