I thought I'd start a new topic about the keyboard stands.

I've noticed that, in discussing various stand designs, no one seems to be bothered about the lack of floor space for "pedals." Is everyone forgetting the extra dimension that different pedals bring to your playing?

In the old days, I would use (under my A-frame stands) two volume pedals (one for my main keyboard (DX7)and one for MIDI connected Roland sound module), a wah-wah pedal for guitar sounds, a fill-in pedal for �variations and fills," and 2 misc on-off switches.

I don't even recall seeing live keyboard players...anywhere...using pedals (or even their hands to throw in regular fills and style changes).

Fact is, I don't even remember seeing guitarists lately that use pedals like they did in the 70's.

But......to be fair, as I think about it, I (me) don't even use them like I used to. Not even "like I used to"......I don't use them at all. I guess subconsciously, I'm realizing......no one even notices. Just like no one even noticed I used a "15 year old" Roland E-300 and not my new PA3x a few weeks ago.
