Works!
Works Perfectly
Only "issue" is that it takes a while to setup
I suggest you prepare the following
1) Cordless Drill with the correct HEX BIT (you will adjusting the fittings a lot)
2) Measuring Tape. This is the only way to get things aligned properly. Make sure each T-fitting is the same distance from the floor (for the left and right A stand) so you end up with a perfect stand
3) Bubble Level. Make sure all your horizontal tubes are level. Also when you are adjusting the holders, You can use the level to make sure the 2 holder arms are parallel. I used an iPhone App, but a bigger physical bubble level will be more useful
4) make sure you jam the fitting into the horizontal bar then u use the locking clamp to make sure it does not twist. Once you do one side, repeat on the other side. Make sure while u are jamming the opposite side, the original side does not pop up. I was lucky my 88 key piano did not drop down the next day. Again double check

Nothing like Jaspers
I've had this stand for a couple of years now, and I'm absolutely thrilled about it. I have used almost everything there is as far as keyboard stands go, but there's just nothing like Jaspers. The stand is extremely sturdy and the option to add holders makes it very configurable. I currently use it to hold a Motif XS-7 and a Kronos 73 (both very heavy synths) in addition to a lot of smaller synths and controllers. I've added the strengthening set though. I haven't seen any other stands that offer the same flexibility and stability as the Jaspers stands.

Briliant stand when used with care
I ordered this stand and immediately proceeded to put it together without consulting the manual or youtube. What could be hard about setting up a stand right? Wrong move.
I didn't lock the fasting rings, causing my Moog and Minilogue s on the uppermost tier to turn upside down and come sliding down. Just as this was happening, I was holding my Korg M1 that I was trying to insert on a middle tier, creating the crazy situation of me holding 3 synths with nowhere to go. To top it off, my Kronos on the lowest tier came crashing down on the floor because I didn't properly lean the two support beams on the extra lateral beam and didn't set the diagonal sides in the right angle.
I'm telling you this so you may avoid this.
Putting this stand together requires:
- Planning - where do you want to put what piece of gear and at what angle?
- Read the manual or watch youtube howto's first
- Use a spirit level to make sure everything is straight
- Use a centimeter to make sure all the angles are correct and are consistent L/R
- Fasten everything properly using the included hex tool (Be prepared to do a lot screwing as you adjust/perfect your setup)
Once set up, it's a brilliant stand. I love the amount of space at the bottom, I now have a small rack of 19" inch gear there and there's still plenty of room for sustain pedals and so on. The stand is light weight and can be expanded with all kinds of extensions. The lateral beams can be used to esthetically guide cables using cable ties which looks very good (I use Thomann V2030's).

Good 4 keyboard stand
Pretty stable, even with heavy keyboards like a Kronos. However, there is limited space between the keyboards so it can be hard to see buttons/screens.

A great stand worth the money
After using the single keyboard traditional stands for years on stage and in studio, I wanted to have something more stable, mobile, simple and fast to assemble for my recording studio and both on stage. I came upon this Jaspers 4D- 145B stand in the Thomann cataloque and immediately ordered it for my recording studio as a main stand for four synthesizers.
Once In a while I use it as a stage main multiple keyboard stand. The build quality is totally outstanding and the holders that came with are also super stable and can stand the weight of almost all keyboards or synthesizers out there. I've ordered a pair of Jaspers Holders 40B to be exact, and they fit exactly.
Some of the things I don't like about the stand is the hight distance of the keyboards. When the stand is fully stacked with keyboards, it becomes a bit difficult to read or program some keyboards with large front-to -depth during a performance due to the keyboard on top of the other. The LM key that got delivered with should always be around, otherwise, it might be hard to set up and tighten the holders.

Flawless, cramped, get a 3-tier
Excellent design, finish on aluminum, fittings. Having four means it is hard to do any deep programming on one keyboard if it is below another. Especially if you have to do any mid-80s menu diving instead of one-knob-per-function. So I would give the advantage to their 3D-145 or another suitable width.

Dope, exactly what I needed!
I use it in my studio for my gear, fits everything, very stable, and thats something i was afraid it won't be, but it stays where you screw-stop it.
The only con is the height, it would be great if it was a little higher, to have more space between the keyboards-gear. But if you don't have to access knobs and buttons in the back of your keyboard its ok.

Irritating to construct
I'll admit I'm not particularly good at constructing things. But this thing came with no instructions and is extremely difficult for one person (or maybe just me) to construct. The screws and washers fall out if not tightly in place and it's not easy to move things around once constructed.

It's a beast!!
I've only ever owned X stands in the past to mount 2 boards on. Now i've purchased an 88 noter i wanted something to hold my current collection & not worry about breaks or stability.
The package arrived in a simple box. Setting it up is a breeze, although a 2nd pair of hands would be useful as you instal the final end into place.
This thing is solid & very stable. As i've previously said the X-stands i used in the past were ok but when you start playing fast you can start that horrible & off-putting forwards & backwards rocking motion. This has none of that. Playing fast Boogie Woogie doesn't start the dreaded wobble. I will point out this stand does rock slight left to right if you push & pull it it but it never happens as you are playing so it does supply a very solid platform. I've got a QS8 on the bottom then my M1 then DX27 & an MK100 above that. Great! I will be repositioning the top 3 boards over so i can mount some smaller items next to them in the future. Thomann sell a gamut of add-ons for these this so they are very flexible in a home studio or live platform.

Synth rack
This is a great rack for organizing your synths.
I only find that the plastic handles that keep the racks tied to the bar should not be in plastic. As some screws are stuck, and I cant get them loose anymore because the plastic has worn of. So in wont hold the screw anymore when you try to loosen it.
