BLACKPANTHERSYSTEM Para Plus

I’ve owned many stands over the years, from the aluminum A-frame stands through the Apex stand I’d gig with. I wanted to move to a 3 keyboard rig so I bought a K&M Spider Pro, which is great for 2 keyboards but not really 3. Then I saw the Blackpanthersystem Para Plus, and despite it being more expensive than most, decided to order it.

It’s substantial. Heavy. Well-constructed with German engineering. Most importantly, it holds 3 keyboards with the right spacing with no bouncing. I have a Nord Stage 4 on the bottom, Roland Jupiter X in the middle, and a Prophet Rev 2 on top.

On the middle tier the Jupiter is too deep and sticks out and I needed to remove the plastic stopper, but an extender is available. My only suggestion is that this should be standard or a replacement arm available that doesn’t need an extender. Otherwise, this should last me for years.
