I enjoyed your pics of the changes! I have a Psr S 710 and wanted it to tilt up, since I am very short so I bought 2 rubber door stops and mounted them at the back of my x stand. This added about 1/1half inches. the door stops are fastened to the stand with straps like the police use for handcuffs, only short ones! This works for me! Thanks for your pictures, I am sure many will follow your idea! Maybe some will experiment with their situation!

I actually tried that a whole back but in traveling around the door stops kept rotating around the pole not very secure... but good luck with it. I forgot to mention the whole project cost me $9.00 US..

Donny Don't get so defensive , I was only half kidding. seriously though since you feature your voice wouldn't being a bit mor upright free up your breathing better? You certainly know what's best for you but maybe give it a try at home and see if you can't project easier.

Bill no problem singing at all sitting when playing KB,.... I love sitting low in the pocket ....don't know how many of you guys sit so high?.....your arms should be horizontal to the KB not slanted down IMO... it works for me, whatever makes a player comfy ...I stood for year playing but not anymore gigs are too long for that..especially two 4 hr doubles !
All Done, .....will take it out for a first test run on today's job. preliminary tests so far are very good, display is much easier to read now at this angle. ......fingers crossed!

Hi - nice solution! Looks good, and seems it'll adjust the keyboard angle just right for your needs. I use the "doorstop" method, thanks to having read about it here, for the PSR-900 that I keep up North for when I visit family up there (Boston area). What you've done here looks like a great way to solve this issue of back-of-keyboard height and screen readability!
