I'm using the V-Piano on stage.  The stand that came with it is for a sitting position and I prefer to stand. I'm looking for something out of the ordinary, but not over the top.
Any ideas or thoughts?

So I guess you already looked at the boring zillion keyboard stands starting at $20 and up, adjustable for height, some come with add on racks, some are multi tiered and on and on, 

If your looking for different, build it out of wood! They look pretty cool, One band was called the " Trappers"  and they had one made out of logs with a pair of snowshoes nailed to the front. .

Thanks.  I guess I should have been a bit more clear. I'm looking for something a bit more elegant than the usual X stand. I have the V stand for my RD300sx, but I'm out of ideas for my V-Piano. 
Any thoughts?

Well, this is a delicate problem, indeed. There's not a whole lot of good stands for heavy keys for the standing people.

I've got the black version of the V-Stand (from Ultimate). I find it a bit more elegant than the silver coloured Roland one and as you know it's easy to fold and transport. There's a new Pro version out that has replaced the old one that look nice.

Then there's the original stand for Fantom-G8. It has three height positions but is a nightmare to fold up and down. If you can move it as it is it's quite good. The second tier is not that sturdy though.

One underrated stand from Roland is the KS-12. It also has got three height options but the highest of them is not all that high ... So it depends on your own height. Really fast to set up! Don't know if that is available in the US though.

Final one from Roland is the KS-J8. I like it a lot but it's really heavy and maybe not as elegant as you would like.

K&M got a couple of options. The first one is not that good looking and it's not really portable.

The other one maybe is not all that beautiful either?

And while you're at it, have a look at what Quiklok has got to offer. Maybe you'll like the Monolith?

I guess I don't know the perfect answer, but anyway now you have some ideas :-)
I'll follow this thread to see what might come up!

This is what I use: http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/AX-48Pro Still looks elegant to me.

But that would not hold a V-Piano. That is a huge mother of a piano, I assure you.

For me the Apex-stands does not cut it 'cause:
* there is no room for pedals
* my knees will get over-bent 
* I always have trouble seeing the display of the lower keyboard

I use something called a Z-stand because the X stands got in the way too much.
Google "Proline Z-stand"

I've googled and searched everything I can imagine. I guess I'll build something out of wood and steel that will have a contemporary feel to it without being a behemoth. You'd think someone had a "designer line" of musical instrument stands like they do for studio desks. I guess there's not much of a market for that.
