Castors for two dollars

AODSK AS-ZKW

The same Z-frame as the maker’s AS-ZK with locking wheels added, at two dollars more. It is the cheapest wheeled stand on this shelf — and the listing publishes neither of the two adjustment ranges its own twin gives.

AODSK AS-ZKW Z-style keyboard stand with locking wheels

AODSK AS-ZKW

The same Z-frame as the maker’s AS-ZK with locking wheels added, at two dollars more. It is the cheapest wheeled stand on this shelf — and the listing publishes neither of the two adjustment ranges its own twin gives.

Frame
Z-style in high-strength steel, stated to minimize wobble during play (maker’s bullet)
Wheels
Locking wheels, for movement and then secure placement. Three of the twelve stands on this shelf have wheels (maker’s bullet)
Height
AODSK puts nothing in writing on this. The same maker’s AS-ZK, two dollars cheaper, publishes 21.2 to 32.4 in
Width
AODSK puts nothing in writing on this beyond *flexible*. The AS-ZK publishes 21.8 to 35.2 in. Both listings state 61 to 88 keys
Load rating
AODSK puts nothing in writing on this. Another page on this shelf states the rule: where the maker publishes no figure, this site does not invent one
Stated use
Home, studio and stage, for children and adults (maker’s bullet)

AS-ZKW
Weight
4,082 g (144 oz) in the product record, which is 9 lb exactly — a shipping figure, and lower than the 10 lb recorded for the same stand without wheels. Nothing here is ranked on it

  • The cheapest wheeled stand on this shelf, at two dollars over the same frame without castors
  • Locking castors: it rolls out of a room and then stops rolling, which a stand on feet cannot do
  • Publishes neither a height range nor a width range, where its own cheaper twin publishes both

Best for: A keyboard that has to leave the room it is played in, more than once a week.

Z-frame in high-strength steel. Locking wheels. Stated for 61 to 88 keys. $44.99.

It is the cheapest wheeled stand on this shelf, and that is the whole case for it. Wheels on a keyboard stand solve one problem completely: an 88-key instrument on a Z-frame is an awkward two-person lift and a one-person roll. The two other wheeled stands here cost $79.99 and $159.99.

The castors lock, which is the part that makes them usable rather than alarming — though the listing says nothing more than the word. A castor is a pivot between frame and floor, and a Z-frame leaned on while standing puts weight through that pivot. On a hard level floor a locked castor behaves much like a foot. On carpet, or with one lock half-engaged, it does not.

Then the gap, and it is an odd one. This listing publishes no height range and no width range. The same maker’s AS-ZK — the same geometry without wheels, two dollars cheaper — publishes both: 21.2 to 32.4 inches of height and 21.8 to 35.2 inches of width. Both listings claim 61 to 88 keys. Only one of them lets a reader check the stand against the player’s height and the instrument’s footprint.

So the choice is not about money. It is wheels against written dimensions, at two dollars.

No load rating either. Another page on this shelf states the rule that follows: where the maker publishes no figure, this site does not supply one. Four stands here publish 250 lb and one publishes 100 lb.

The product record gives 4,082 g (144 oz) — 9 lb exactly, and lower than the 10 lb recorded for the same stand without castors, which is what a shipping bucket looks like rather than a weighed frame.

The questions players ask

Are locking wheels safe to play on?

That depends on the lock, and this listing does not describe it beyond the word. What a castor adds is a pivot between the frame and the floor, and a Z-frame played standing puts a lot of leaning weight through exactly that point. Locked castors on a hard, level floor behave much like feet; on carpet, or with one lock not fully engaged, they do not. The honest reading is that wheels are for moving the stand, and the moment they stop being needed is the moment they should be locked. The two other wheeled stands on this shelf are both from one maker and both publish a 250 lb limit; this one publishes none.

Which of the two AODSK Z-stands should I buy?

If the stand moves, this one — $44.99, locking castors, two dollars over the AS-ZK. If it does not, the cheaper one, and not for the money: the AS-ZK publishes its height range (21.2 to 32.4 in) and its width range (21.8 to 35.2 in), and this listing publishes neither. Same maker, same geometry, same key range, and only one of the two lets you check the stand against the instrument and the player before ordering. That is the actual choice here.

    • The tier is rated 60 lb, so a second weighted 88-key piano does not belong on it

    Best for: Two keyboards, or a keyboard and a laptop, on one footprint that rolls.

  • Liquid Stands MS1078 black Z-style keyboard stand

    Liquid Stands MS1078

    A heavy-duty Z-frame rated at 250 lb that publishes how it adjusts rather than just that it does: height in 1.25-inch steps, width in 2-inch steps, with two anchoring straps and a headphone hook in the box.

    Load rating
    250 lb stated, for the heaviest instruments. Four of the twelve stands on this shelf publish this figure; one publishes 100 lb; seven publish none (maker’s bullet)
    Height
    22.5 to 33.5 in, in 1.25 in increments — the finest published step on this shelf (maker’s bullet)
    Width
    22.5 to 33.5 in, in 2 in increments (maker’s bullet)
    Retention
    Two anchoring straps that attach the keyboard to the stand, plus four adjustable feet and anti-skid foam pads (maker’s bullet)
    Included
    A headphone hook. Four of the twelve items on this shelf have one, and all four are from this maker (maker’s bullet)
    Stated fit
    54 to 88 keys, and stated for DJ mixers, turntables, synths and MIDI keyboards as well (from the title and maker’s bullet)
    Frame
    Z-style, stated less likely to tip than an X-style stand — which is the argument another page on this shelf makes in its own words (maker’s bullet)
    Setup
    Stated under a minute to set up or break down, packing flat for transport (maker’s bullet)
    Wheels
    None. The same maker sells this stand with wheels as MS1080, two dollars dearer — and that listing publishes a 1.5 in height step rather than 1.25 in
    Manufacturer reference
    MS1078

Elsewhere in the cupboard

  • AudioSilk room kit of four large acoustic panels in natural finish

    AudioSilk Room Kit, Natural

    Four large panels rather than a grid of tiles — 46 by 23 inches each — in post-consumer recycled polyester, mounted on removable strips that leave no mark, and the only listing here to compare itself with foam.

    Quantity and size
    4 panels at 46 × 23 in — 1.17 × 0.58 m (4 × 1.9 ft) each, the only large-format panel on this shelf. Every other panel here is a 12 × 12 in tile
    Material
    Post-consumer recycled polyester, not foam. AudioSilk states no harsh chemical smell, no shrinkage and no peeling
    Versus foam
    The second bullet is titled BETTER THAN FOAM and claims much higher performance than equivalent acoustic foam — the only listing on this shelf to compare itself with its neighbors’ material
    Mounting
    Removable sticky strips, stated to leave no mark on a wall — and sold separately. The maker says so in the same bullet
    Absorption
    The first bullet reads *High density material with NRC of up to* — and the sentence ends there. No figure is published, and no panel on this shelf publishes one
    Thickness
    AudioSilk puts nothing in writing on this. Two panels on this shelf publish 0.4 in and 1 in, and one publishes 5 cm (2 in)
    Support
    Free acoustic treatment advice is offered, including how to measure room performance and where to place panels — the only placement guidance on this shelf
    Color
    Natural. AudioSilk states a range of colors is available, and two other finishes of this same kit were discarded from this catalog as color variants
    Coverage
    About 29 square feet in total across the four panels
    Fire
    AudioSilk puts nothing in writing on this. One panel on this shelf publishes a fire claim
    Manufacturer reference
    None published

    EAN
    5065015057055
    • Four large panels instead of a grid of tiles, so one wall is treated in four decisions rather than eighteen
    • Recycled polyester rather than foam, with no shrinkage, no peeling and no chemical smell stated
    • The mounting strips are sold separately, which the listing states and which means the kit does not mount as delivered

    Best for: A rented room where the panels have to come down without taking the paint, and one wall has to be dealt with in four pieces.

    • A water-resistant shell matters more than padding for a walk in the rain
    • No US offer at the time of writing
