Members Tomkeen Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 That's an Invisible Stand. Pretty rare nowadays. It seems that everyone who owned one holds on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pigger Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yup, that's an Invisible stand. I have one; have used it to gig with for over 25 years. The only thing I've had to do to it is to replace the turnbuckle when it finally wore out. They are fantastic stands, IMO. They keep the keyboards low so that you can see the audience & vice-versa, and are strong as all get-out. Our 280-lb sound man used to stand on mine to set the stage lights up. Super fast to set up & tear down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nice stand, I bought three of them back in the day, and two still function (I lost the cross brace for the third). Though my main travel stand these days is a K&M 18880 with 18881 stacker. If you flip the stackers backwards, they somewhat mimic the Invisible design (but you have to remember to put the bottom keyboard on first, as it is not designed to support rear weight alone). An advantage over the Invisible is that it collapses into one transportable piece, whereas the Invisible disassembled into 4 pieces. Hence the loss of my cross brace!

I always leave the cross-brace attached, for a 3-piece teardown. You're talking about the part at the top with the turnbuckle, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about the part at the top with the turnbuckle, right? No, the part with the turnbuckle, at the top of the stand, stays attached. There is a stiff cross brace about halfway up that locks the bottom left and right parts into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has square ends that go over the square tubing on each side. It is a 4-piece stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJKeys Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 kind regards,David I have two of them. I have one plexiglass and one plywood shelf on them and they have been holding up my studio equipment for fifteen years. Check out my avatar, probably a couple of hundred pounds of gear. These have been through many CA earthquakes without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
