Is the second tier stable? I was wondering if it would be strong enough to hold a midi controller that I sometimes bang on.

Yes, it is very sturdy. It tightens up well and I also had a microKorg on the second and it worked just fine. It's adjustable too.

Top tier is pretty solid. My only gripe is that the bottom tier bolts together rather than being welded, so the bottom stand sways back and forth ever so slightly.

My second tier came out a little lopsided, so I'm careful not to bang on anything too hard.

I have two 5 octave keyboards on mine top and bottom. One is an Edirol PCR-80 midi controller, and the other is a Yamaha PSR-500 synthesizer. They both weigh about 8 pounds and are about 42 inches long. If you bang on them like a gorilla I couldn't recommend, but otherwise I can't see it being a problem.

I have one for my guitar, and it will hold the banjo nicely. I use a different one for my banjo, but only because my guitar sits better in this one.

yes. thats how i did mine. I have 2 as of now and its pretty stable. flimsy but i can work around it. follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Absolutely not! It couldn't even handle a single piano keyboard. It's alright for mids but terrible for lows and distorted for highs.

My husband said it will hold it but he would not recommend it because it is only held with tiny pins for the selves.He has an old real to real on the bottom self and that is around 45 lbs. Stereo on top with equalizer. Hope this helps.

It's pretty sturdy. You'd actually have to be trying to break it in order for it to break easily. Like any other controller, make sure you don't throw it around. It can survive some accidental falls.

With the legs out all the way (braces parallel to the floor), it's very stable. What I try to do is to place the base of the stand so that two legs face the dance floor and one faces away, so that it presents a smaller profile and a leg isn't directly protruding in a manner that someone could trip on it. It will also help if you keep the load well balanced, hang heavier fixtures toward the inside, and turn the t-bar so that it isn't directly over any of the legs but more straddling them. Kind of hard to explain in text but I hope you get the point.

I would say it depends on what you want to do with it. I bought it hoping to put a smaller guitar (almost kid size) on it and the stand is now in storage because it was too annoying for that size. The problem is that the part of the stand that actually holds the guitar is both wide and deep. I can get the guitar to balance on it but any bump, no matter how slight, causes it to fall off. So if you want it for a situation where you are certain that nothing will bump into it, might work. Otherwise I would look for something else.

I wouldnt chance anything too expensive with this stand. I bought a used Ipad that I use only for gigs...so it can fall or get knocked over and its no big deal. You might want to invest in something a little more sturdy.

It is a little strong. Just keep the bass turned down on the amp. Very nice amp will do the job. I'm actually running mine on a 1200rms sub.

My three tiers are loaded with pretty heavy keyboards (heaviest at the bottom). Nothing on the frame has budged a centimeter - pretty solid IMHO. Just make sure everything is tightened before you load it up. You might want to place the mixer etc. in the middle for ease of use - frame is pretty high.

This stand extension was used for a drum processor. It was not 26 lbs, but if the heavier piano was on the bottom, then you would probably be OK.

I have a lot of faith in this mount, but I would be very careful when meeting the max like that. I happen to have an Onkyo as well and they are pretty heavy. If you have no other options you could always put a brace underneath as well if you feel it is unstable. I would also put the Onkyo as close to the wall as possible so that it may hold the weight and not be too far out where the stress is higher on the rack. Just make sure you secure is as good as possible, maybe brace it, and set it on easy and you should be able to get away with it.

No, not really. The unit that I have is stable, but if you try to stack another unit on top of it, it will probably make it very unstable. If you need more room, you might want to invest in another model Maxsteel Multimedia Rack that has a CD Capacity 864. That is the next model up from this one.

Hi Mike, i have these OnStage SMS6000 Adjustable Studio Monitor Stand (Pair) they are very stable and solid.

Depends on what you have on the other end. I use a med-large soft box rig on the end and it is too heavy for me to hold up. It works well from a floor setup though.

Yeah it's pretty strong. I use all kinds of different ones. It's a sturdy stand.
