Scott,

The speakers are attached with a single, locking screw and nut through the aluminum plate and through the mounting hole in the speaker's foot. The aluminum plates (5 X 11 X 1/8-inch thick) was cut at a local welding shop and cost $3 each. I drilled a 1/4-inch hole in the center of each plate and this slips snugly over the 1/4X20 mic stud at the top of the stand. The anchoring/adjustment nut holds everything in place very securely with the aid of a lock washer. The cables are all wrappied with Spiral Cable Wrap, which was purchased at Radio Shack. I also shortened the longer cables so they are the same length as the shorter ones.

As for mounting the speakers on the keyboard, for me that would not work. They would be too low, and that just puts one more thing between me and the audience.
