I just recently acquired an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88, which is gorgeous and sounds beautiful.... but it's really heavy and I need a stand for it. It's approx 50 lbs and pretty long. I've heard that larger boards like this bounce around quite a bit on x-stands, so I am looking for a good (hopefully cheap D:) stand for this bad boy. It's not going to be moving around a lot, but it's not going to be a permanent installation either.
Anyone have any advice for a person new to this game? Any help that can be offered is welcome and appreciated. :)

I just use Yamaha, so I'm not very well versed in the various types of keyboards.

My keyboard came with a stand that looks like an H, but the upright bars and the horizontal bars at the bottom are joined by little plates of metal shaped like an L, so the whole stand wobbles forwards and backwards a lot.

God. I've seen the kind of stand you want, because I've seen 88 key keyboards which for the most part require two people to maneuver set up on seemingly complex stands. . . I even know a guy who owns one and has such a stand, but he only works under me during the school year and I have no means of contacting him during the summer. Sorry.
That's not the point, the real point is that I'm jealous of you,

As everyone should be... ;)
I got a great deal. $250 in mint condition. List price is anywhere for $400 to $600. I am in love with it.
EDIT:
I decided to order this, if anyone cared.

It's designed for heavy keyboards apparently, so I've got my fingers crossed.
