It is a little clumsy to handle, when setting up and adjusting, but once you've figured that out, it's very nice. I originally intended to use this live, but I might look into something a bit more handy to take to gigs. Right now it is in my home studio and is looking neat with my Jupiter 50 and Microkorg. The microkorg is placed on the top shelf I bought with the stand, it doesn't fit too well and shakes when played, but that is on my own account, as the size of the microkorg doesn't fit the shelf.
