Looks like a regular ol "X" type stand the keyboard player (Tom Shuman) uses with Spyro Grya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6sPnLnkuQA I am sure Sweetwater probably has something. http://www.sweetwater.com/

Be aware people V Piano weights 38 Kg. It is not for an ordinary stand unless you are prepared to have end up on the ground. If it wobbles on the stand you are in trouble.

I've got a couple ideas based around the stand that comes with the V-piano. If anyone is interested, I'll post a pic or two when its done.

Thanks for the input!

Cinder blocks? 

I have a dual stand.... stacks 2 keyboards on top of each other.... it is rock solid. Wide base... and works OK for seated depending on the height of the seat, but the lower keyboard is easier to play seated.... but standing... works well on both upper and lower. 

Our keyboard player used this rig standing....of course, she was a short girl so it was the perfect height for her.

The supports are in an X pattern and there is a brace with notches which allow the X to be adjusted> I currently have it in the furthest position..... which is the lowest setting. Moving the catch to the notches further in result int he keyboards being raised up by a considerable amount if you go all the way in. 

The pic below shows it with 2 keyboards on it and unfortunately not much of the stand. 

Two adjustable X's front and back.... welded to a bar on each bottom side... the bar is about 3 feet long.... the X's have a bolt through them to allow the X to move...and the rear (audience side) X has the bar with the notches and a clamp to secure the X angle at the required height. 

With the big 3' bars on the floor, this thing is stable even at the higher settings. The red upper keyboard holder is removeable if only one keyboard is being used. 




I have since retired the upper keyboard.... it's behind the door in my daughter's bedroom, and have fashioned a platform from wood to hold my laptop in the position above the Yamaha below it....

I used an ultima -3 stand which is great for standing up and playing. I bought it back in the 80's  and it could support my electric piano/organ, Juno 106 and a Crumar performer in three tiers.  It is an "A" frame stand.

Ironing board and a tin of black paint.

for those of you who are metric challenged, that's 83 pounds!  the V-piano is not going to be sturdy on an "X" stand!

I will post a pic or two tomorrow of what I came up with. Like I said earlier, it's based on the original stand that came with the V-Piano. I had to raise it, but most of all, keep it looking clean and a bit upscale. Until tomorrow,....

I don't understand why keyboard stands never have a beer holder.

Under no circumstances use an ironing board as a keyboard stand. Synkrotron's suggestion is idiotic to say the least. The problem with the old ironing board situation is that the mechanism for keeping the stand upright is working pretty hard when a heavy weight is put on it and at some point it will give way and the whole thing will come crashing down. I have seen it!
