Another Synth in the Wall
Value for money, for sure. High quality materials and easy to assemble. All the connectors are in the right place. You just need to look closely (and think) before you put the tubes at the correct locations. I've added casters to move the rack around in my studio a bit. That hardly impacted the stability. I now have a wall of synths and a clean desk again.
The out-of-the-box setup offers a lot of space. So far I've not had to adjust the height or depth of the rows. I've only tuned the angles to get better access to some of the synths. The 40cm holders are wide enough to also hold a shelve on which you can position multiple smaller synths (in my case some Dreadboxes and a Minitaur), in 2 dimensions. A very efficient use of space.

Excellent Keyboard Rack, but make sure it's stable
This is the ultimate keyboard stand. Four tiers, completely customisable but a number of attachments available from Jasper. Really the only stand you need for your studio!
However, be aware that it needs to be loaded down to not tend to tip forward. I sold a few of my syths and when only one was sitting in the bottom rack it had a tendency to tip forward with the least amount of force. Not great if you have cats that like to climb!
Otherwise this is the perfect keyboard stand!

A sturdy and stable stand - nothing to fault
Fully recommended. I have this set up as a 6 tier, wheeled, stand. Perfect for my vintage synths.
I bought the 4 tier stand with the intention of adding two more extension bars (also purchased from Thomann). Assembly requires some forethought, but is simple enough as critical pieces are marked. The instructions are not particularly helpful, but common sense will prevail.
The brackets are notched and fit in to locking 'wheels' on each tier, to physically stop the tubes from rotating, by locking them in to the connector that ties the cross bars to the uprights. That is a great design feature.
Because I changed the format of the stand slightly, I was able to use a 'spare' long tube to brace the middle-back of the stand.
And, in my case, I unscrewed the 10mm diameter threaded levelling 'feet' and replaced with 4 double rubber wheeled casters. (I reused the levelling feet bolts to affix the casters, though I had to hacksaw off the plastic feet as they were too wide for the caster, and were attached to bolts using permanent unremovable screw fittings)
The result is a stable and fully mobile 6 tier rack.

Fantastic Stand!
This has proven to be one of my most valuable purchases in my current studio. It allowed me to have all of my keyboards available and positioned well, and I have complete confidence in their safety on this hardware.

the bottom rack is not as advertised
One of my main support posts came bent.
the lowest rack may be able to support more weight than the others, but the arms are not long enough to make it to the back support like other versions of this rack. I would not trust them to hold my more heavy items. You may be able to sacrifice the next lowest level and use that one, at the cost of the total rack space and it probably have to be at an angle.
Also be aware the lowest section with the longer arms, stick out further than the other three.
The feet on the legs on wood floor are not wide enough for my comfort. I am going to use straps and anchor this to my wall because i feel like my cat could push off it and potentially knock the whole thing over.

Beams rotate and stuff falls off
I am using the stand well within specifications, with joints tightened as much as I can, and malleted together.
The beams rotate. My gear falls off, a domino effect happens. Now I have lots of damaged gear.
The design relies on tension and balanced distribution to keep everything in place which had proven to be untrustworthy.

an excellent choice
i bought this rack to hold synths.. of course.
it's easily built and requires only an allen key which is included. its perfectly as flexible as it could be and should be suitable to almost any height adjustments you would require. and once its installed it feels sturdy enough to trust with your most unobtanium of vintage ARP 960000 rarest of the rare toys.
a very satisfied customer with a very satisfying product. all up. very impressive.
it wont fall over.
buy it now.

Great Product
I like this a lot!
it took me a few tries to get it set up right for my requirement, If you use it as it come pre set it's quick and easy to set up.

Jaspers Stands are the best, Bar None!
I have a 4D-150B and just purchased this 170-4-120B. I love both! Being able to move keyboards backwards and forwards makes the 170-4-120B a far superior stand! Also, the 170cm height provides plenty of room to stack 'boards!
