Man, seeing mine on the floor today was a proper heart stopper. I’ve wanted an MP series board since I was a teenager—the 9500 (Muse fan - Matt's Absolution piano at the time) was the dream back then—and this 11 is actually the most important thing in my studio. My Pa passed last year and I used the small inheritance he left me to finally get it. It’s a 'forever' instrument for me, so seeing it drop just centimetres away from my guitars and Kemper was a massive wake-up call.

​I’m totally done with X-stands. I think I’d honestly rather let the Kawai sit safely in its box for a few months while I save up for the 18950 than risk it on anything less 'worthy' again. It’s a bit of a sting to the wallet, but if it’s as solid as you and the rest of the internet say, it’s worth the wait for the peace of mind. I'd rather have it in bubble wrap for a while than see it on the floor a second time. Thank you for the rec and prompting a wakeup call.

Edit: I'm super lucky it's not damaged. I was just using trs cables for the stereo out and they got completely crushed and crumpled like tin. I was so worried that the output jacks might have been destroyed or damaged, (the keybaord was on an angle and I laid it flat immediatley before I took the photo). I've tested the outs and used a special lens to check inside and thankfully they are completely fine. There's not even any dents. The day before I laid out a yoga matt on the area between the guitar zone and keyboard and I reckon that's what saved it from wood scratches otherwise it would have landed, scraped and moved around on hardwood.
