My last two gigs I started to realize since I sit so low when I play that the PA900 is a flat view KB per say,.....EG: the display although large and bright is horizontally flat with hardly NO Tilt up at all even less then the S950,......this led to difficulty viewing the screen from that low sitting angle....Soooooooooo what to do?
I put on my thinking cap and said now how could I raise the back of the KB on the X Stand so that my Viewing angle would be increased alot? Then it hit me on the way to LOWES Home Improvement center......at first I was going to put Pipe insulation foam on each tier but it didn't have enough height...........so while browsing around the Plumbing department I noticed these PVC open ended
"T" adapters with a threaded center extension...
so I bought 2 T fittings and 2 screw in extensions to raise the KB, sprayed them black too,.....then I went into hardware and saw an old lady with a walker and on the bottom of the legs were theses rubber caps like you see on a cane etc,.....Hmmmmmmmmm? I said to myself I'll get two of those and put them on the adapters so the KB will be protected and not slip down!!1 Brilliant.......but I still had a problem......
the front of the tiers has no stoppage to secure the KB frtom sliding down on the stand Hmmmmmmmmmmm?......my McGiver kicked in and remembered I has two quick Lock second tier extension bars from and old stand which has hard plastic tips to prevent slippage I removed them and put them on my New X Stand creation !!!!....
This contraption should work out nicely...
here's a few Pics,....

Or you could just sit higher, just saying.

Crowd could see you better too you handsome devil.

No way am I sitting higher I have to be comfortable after
50 years of playing......

I'm proud to say that I taught DNJ almost everything about gadgetry he knows.

All the best,

Good work, Donny. I love to see people's creativity in solving problems. Neat.

Thanks Graham...

I just finished it off by gluing the Front end caps inside the tubes with JB WELD Clear Epoxy!!

Will the angle still be right for NEXT week' s keyboard? Just sayin'.

Like I said if your NOT in the trenches day after day you wouldn't understand. MY comfortblity is key, if things don't work out I dump it and move on no big deal!.......an arranger KB is just a tool for me to backup my singing. If you have the chops & the voice using different tools for the job doesn't matter.
