What do you guys recommend for a stand which would hold the following:

Oasys 88 with touch screen fully open
Jupiter 80 in the middle
Moog Voyager on top

Also, I dont want it to be an A-frame type.

Something which sets up easy and fast, what do you guys think?

Check this thread which has several opinions :)
Really strong dual stand... have you used any of these?

I ordered a 3 tier stand by Standtastic:

The reviews were excellent and one of them caught my eye, guys has an Oasys 88 on bottom, Kurz PC2x in middle and an Andomedia on top, I think this will be perfect!

I'll post some photos once it arrives and I get it set up.

I just bought this one myself. I generally sit when I play. I bought it because it would bring all the keyboards as close together as possible. Took me about an hour yesterday to initially set it up but once you have the tiers where you want them, it's suppose to be rather quick for setup and tear down. Seams quite sturdy with no wobble.

Well if you look at that design if one screw comes loose the whole thing comes down. Not a sound design. Quite honestly if I were gigging with my OASYS 88 I would have it on a standalone stand because you often don't know if you'll get minor bounce off of stage risers or uneven surfaces of any sort. It's not worth risking the OASYS for that convenience. Put the other synths on another stand. If you are looking for a good stand for the OASYS I would recommend....

This is the sturdiest stand out there.
I have a Motif XS8 and my Radias on it.
My Oasys is on a desk with my iMac.
This could also easily handle the Oasys and the Radias.

Hi,

for my 2 keyboards setup I use for bottom Motif ES 8
http://www.thomann.de/de/km_18953.htm
and on top for OASYS 76
http://www.thomann.de/de/km_18952_aufsatz.htm
which is a very stable construction but not for 3 Keyboards.

When formerly gigging with 3 boards I used for bottom K2600
http://www.thomann.de/de/km_18880.htm
and 2nd tier for Trinity and 3 rd tier for Waldorf Q
http://www.thomann.de/de/km_18882.htm
but this construction became quite "high" if you want to read the display so actually the audience couldn“t see above :) So I would consider to use 2 stands for 3 keyboards.
Or have you thought of a custom made? When playing only my O I use a "rudessque" rotating stand made out of a truss.

maybe this helps you to find a decision

regards
SoulBe

WOW, no.

If someone bumps into it, you've got gear on the floor. If you play outdoor venues and a gust of wind comes it, also gone. I'll see if I can find the footage from the keyboardist I replaced when that exact same stand took a nose dive when a gust of wind shook the stage.

I have an A stand, not used it on stage though but it seems very sturdy.
