PROEL EL80 - Scissor-style Keyboard Stand with "Easy Lock" System (30x15 mm Tube)
The PROEL EL80 represents the perfect fusion of practicality and stability for musicians of all levels. Designed by the renowned Italian brand Proel, this scissor-style keyboard stand (simple X-type) stands out for its innovative adjustment mechanism and robust construction, ideal for those seeking reliability both on stage and in the home studio.
Unlike conventional entry-level stands, the EL80 incorporates 30 x 15 mm rectangular steel tubing, giving it superior structural rigidity without excessively increasing its weight. Its standout feature is the "Easy Lock" adjustment system, a smart solution that allows you to adjust the stand's height in seconds with a single movement, ensuring the instrument is always at the perfect playing height.
In addition to its primary function as a stand for synthesizers, controller keyboards, and lightweight digital pianos, its versatile design makes it the ideal structural base for additional accessories, such as the 370PR300 (KB400) metal tray, allowing the stand to be transformed into a workstation for mixers or DJ equipment. Its Anthracite Gray finish gives it a professional and modern aesthetic that departs from standard black, adding a touch of distinction to your musical setup.

Reinforced Structure: The main steel tubes with dimensions of 30 x 15 x 1.2 mm offer excellent torsional resistance, supporting loads of up to 40 kg with complete safety.

Height Versatility: Offers a very wide adjustment range, from a low position of 560 mm (ideal for playing seated) to 970 mm (for playing standing up), adapting to any height and preference of the musician.
-
Stability and Grip: The 400mm upper arms feature non-slip rubber stops that protect the instrument from scratches and prevent unwanted movement during vigorous playing.
Benefits for the Musician
The PROEL EL80 is designed to solve the common problems of musicians on the go. Its main advantage is its quick setup ; thanks to the Easy Lock system, you can unfold and fold the stand in an instant, which is invaluable during rapid stage changes or when setting up and tearing down in rehearsal spaces. Furthermore, its lightweight design (approximately 3.5 kg) makes it easy to transport without sacrificing the sturdiness needed to support mid-range and high-end keyboards.

Live Performances and Tours: Perfect for keyboard players who need a lightweight but reliable stand that can withstand daily setup and teardown.
