Mixer Style Double tier stands basically can house two keyboards at a time. These usually resemble single tier keyboards i.e. they can be any style including X-style, table style, or even Z-style. However, they have additional arms for keeping the second keyboard. These arms can be adjusted in height and width and in addition to that, you can also adjust the angle so that the keyboard under it is accessible. Recommended 2 Tier

The tier width is adjustable between 11″ to 30″ while the height can be 26″ to 38.5″. The adjustments are pretty easy with the deadbolt/lever mechanism and telescope arms.X-Style: This is pretty common and less costly among all the styles. The legs of this stand are like an X and you have several height options (usually up to 5). It takes less floor space and comes in both regular and heavy duty forms. It is designed in such way to provide balance, stability, and lightness. The most common keyboard stands include X-style, Z-style, and table-style stands with single or double brace designs. The X-style is the less stable but the cheapest; the table-style is suited for players who like to play in a seated position, while the Z-style is the most versatile and sturdy. Single tier designs are the most affordable stands, while the double and triple tier designs are high-end products. If you want a double or triple-tier design, you have to ensure they are sturdy enough to carry your keyboards, or the occasional laptops, etc. How much weight can a keyboard stand hold?

For a 2 Tier keyboard stand, the K & M Spider Stand is the best thing you can find. First off it is light yet super sturdy thanks to its all-aluminum construction.

However, the best part is that it is highly portable as you can just simply fold it and take it with you. This is why it is best suited for those who are very mobile. Triple Tier Stands Another very important consideration in terms of weight is the stand's weight capacity. It should have a generous weight limit to accommodate those big and heavy keyboards. The weight limit is usually mentioned in product specifications. If you are looking for something truly heavy duty then go for something like On-Stage 2 Tier Pro Heavy-Duty Folding.

Durability is another important aspect if you want to have a stand with a long life. Most stands are made of steel and are highly durable, but the important factor here is the joints and the adjustment systems. Price This type of stand has an A frame underneath that usually can be adjusted to provide a height suitable for both standing and sitting positions. These are considered a lot more stable and lighter as A-frames are designed to provide extra support without being too overweight. These are relatively less common as compared with other types but can make a good choice for either small or heavy duty keyboards. Custom Stands You can go for a stand with screws to secure the keyboard to prevent any accidents. Also, you can go for a sturdy designed stand to have less wobbliness while playing. Weight Capacity

The stand is very stable and sturdy, with the rubber pads on the feet and the tier preventing any wobbliness or slips. The only difference between an X-style and a double X-style is that the latter has two tubes or rods on either side. You can consider it as two X-style legs kept parallel to each other. They are essentially the same in terms of size. The difference that these extra tubes make is that the double x-style is a bit more stable and can withstand a lot more weight of the keyboard. There are several different types of stands for keyboards that differ in style primarily so we classify them as different styles as all of them virtually are designed for the purpose of keeping a keyboard. Nevertheless, the different styles have different effects on the application in that it determines what keyboard you can fit, what height you can achieve, and what price you would pay. The size of the stand and the size of your keyboards are crucial elements when choosing a stand. You should be sure that the tier width of the stand matches your keyboard’s width.These are the most common styles of keyboard stands. However, there are more types which are mostly different versions of the above only e.g. double X-style. In addition to the shape there is another category that distinguishes these stands which is tiers. All of the above are essentially single tier but there are double and triple tier stands as well that can keep two and three keyboards respectively. These are good for those who want more than one keyboard in front of them simultaneously. Do these require assembly? Z-Style: This is yet another common style that is loved by many. The Z-shaped structure is very easy to fold and carry so those who like their stands to be portable prefer this. Also, it is kind of like a table so still very stable. It can be adjusted for both width and height so you can virtually fit all kinds of keyboards. Table Style: this is pretty self-explanatory and this one is very stable as well and provides a lot of leg room. They are often dubbed as mixer style as they are also used for housing mixers. You have four legs just like that in a table that can be adjusted for height. If you have a small and lightweight keyboard, you can go with a single-X stand. Z-shaped or double-X stands are better for medium to heavier weight keyboards. How many tiers do you need?
