I would like to have the Tyros music stand also. Uncle Dave lost it or threw it away.

What's the adjustable music stand you have??

Sorry Don .... I never use 'em, so I don't pay attention to where they go after the box is opened! I especially didn't like the Tyros one ... it sat too high and was too flimsy - you're not missing anything !

No problem. Mostly wanted it for when I re-sell. But that won't be for quite awhile.

This brings up a topic that deserves mentioning briefly.

I think that unless you plan on owning/keeping a keyboard for life that you owe it to the next owner to keep all components that come with a keyboard. I do it by nature but I have found that others don't. Discarding a part that comes with an instrument just because you don't use it or think it's important is not just inconsiderate but it devaluates the keyboard significantly.

I recently bought a Yamaha 9000 Pro from UD that he described as "mint condition". It was my fault that I assumed that description meant for the keyboard and all factory-provided components, but when the keyboard arrived it was missing several factory items, most importantly the music stand which is a critical and nearly irreplaceable part for me. The music stand is not a seperate accessory item but one that comes with the instrument from Yamaha and is unique to the 9000 Pro. Dave had discarded it, but not completely - it took about a month for him to find it in his kitchen utensils (from moving). Once I got the music stand it was scratched and beaten up - not at all in the same condition as the keyboard. The music stand is a very visible part of the instrument and it was a terrible let down to see this beautiful shiney like-new keyboard with an abused stand on it. I'm working to replace it now - but I've learned that other people don't value everything that comes with a keyboard as I would... so next time I will ask detailed questions about what comes with my purchase before buying from anyone, even from this forum.

At the same time - you should keep and protect all factory components to a keyboard as a basic courtesy to the next owner and to retain the instrument's value. What you don't use or care about may be a vital component for the next owner, especially if you intend to "rotate" keyboards often. I don't want to get into a debate with Dave over this (we had several private ones already) so I've made my point and would just as soon drop the subject.

I agree with the observation about protecting your keyboard for future owners. I've "rotated"/sold a bunch of boards over the years. All were in mint condition, original boxes, no tears in plastic package with manuals---right down to the twisty-ties on cords, etc. All this helped them move fast. Just sold a 2100 like a breeze.

Boy do I agree with this! I have always done the same. I keep all original packaging, manuals, cords, etc. In the past year I have been selling a lot of my equipment on eBay. Alesis SR-16, Ketron XD3, Line6 POD 2.0, Fender Strat, etc. ON two of the auctions I actually received more for my used instruments than they could be purchased for new. I never really understood this; either the buyer didn't research the product very well, couldn't use a credit card for online purchases, etc. But I actually sold all of the equipment for only around $100 less than I paid for it all cumulatively.

It's a little different for me, though, than a lot of you. I use everything in my home studio and it stays in mint condition. When I gig it's usually just my acoustic accordion and even when I used the midi accordion and XD3 there was very little wear and tear (I buy the travel case for everything).

It's different when you use something every day onsite and have to transport it often.

But in my experience keeping things mint and keeping all packaging really makes the difference. I usually take about 6 VERY detailed digital pictures and my equipment sells much faster and for much more than the same item with the stock manufacturer picture and the word "mint".

Next up for sale will be a mint Yamaha AW16G DAW. Looks like I'll be going Motif ES8 and using it's sampling capability to record my accordion.

Just a standard adjustable music stand that you would see in any band room. I like it better because I can move it to the side when I'm playing guitar, trumpet or sax.

Anyone have any idea where I could find the Tyros software?

Dave are you still using the Yamaha music racks for clothes hangers?
Why don't you send Don his music rack, I have an extra hanger to replace the Yamaha hanger..
Didn't you use the Pro 9000 rack to barbecue the ribs at your picnic?
