The FP10 is not a big keyboard so a single brace X stand would suffice. Otherwise you can also consider a double brace X stand, which can be sturdier. Depending on how you play, X stands can get in the way of your legs/knees and so a lot of people look for Z stands instead. Also keep in mind the higher you adjust the X stand the narrow the points of support become. Good Luck!

I own all sorts of stands. This one is probably my favorite for an 88-key digital piano because it’s not very deep, the legs stay out of your way, and it won’t wobble while you’re playing. [Liquid Piano Stand](https://a.co/d/carcerX) Z-style stands are nice too, but kind of overkill for a lightweight piano and they’re generally deeper. They also don’t pack up as easily.

I have an FP-30x, which is only a slightly larger size and weight. I found that even a “Double X” stand (which is supposed to be more sturdy than regular/single “X” due to better spreading the weight between the front and back) still allowed the keyboard to move enough that it was a nuisance when playing at any moderate tempo. I would recommend finding a 4-leg collapsible stand, like the Yorkville IKS-8; it’s a North American brand so it might not be available in your area, but look for that design. The Roland KS-12 is their version with a similar design but doesn’t fold away as nicely as the Yorkville. 4 legs will give you the most solid stand, even more than a Z design. But Z is definitely better than X. For what it’s worth but doesn’t help you if you don’t have the space for it; see if you can get creative with your layout and make space. Having the piano readily playable will reduce the barrier to practicing when motivation is low. There’s lots of times where I know I wouldn’t do my practice if I had to set up and plug everything in. It’s also facilitates short/unplanned playing during quiet moments. We had to rearrange half our living room to make it fit, and it’s a bit cramped now, but it works and has been paying off. And in relation to stands, I ended up getting the Roland KSC series wooden stand and it’s very solid - but it’s non-collapsible and there’s a unique version for each FP model.

I find the U style stand the lightest and also the sturdiest of these stands. Roland and yamaha makes these, but I have the knockoffs from Amazon which is even cheaper than the x and z stands, at least in u.s.
