Gearank Recommendation
The QL-742 appeared on our recommended list for 2 Tier X Style Keyboard Stands from February 2017 through every edition until February 2022 when it was removed due to being out-ranked by the Quiklok T-22.
Overview
The Quik-Lok QL-742 can accommodate keyboards as thin as 20″ on the top tier if you adjust it to maximum height by positioning the feet in their closest position.
Keyboard sizes from 49-Keys and up will fit on the bottom tier in standing positions.
Although the top tier has a fixed depth you can adjust it forwards and backwards to give you the right amount of accessibility on the bottom keyboard.
It’s main point of difference with similar stands is that it has a “Push to adjust” locking disc system.
