I made some decisions today on gettin gear replacements for the stolen stuff...

My biggest gripe with the Kronos 88 under the Tyros 5 was the huge amount of room required between Kronos and Tyros to be able to controll the Kronos, in general i prefer 2 keybeds just on top of eachother like on a home organ...

So i am looking for a keyboardstand that allows me to change the height and angle of the upper keyboard on the fly from just hanging above the lower keyboard (organ idea) to the normal 2 keyboard position with abouth 30 cm of room between both keyboards, allowing full controll of the lower keyboard..

I also require a lot of room for pedals... With a standard 3 piano pedals in the middle, a Yamaha MFC 10 to the left of that and 2 expression pedals and 3 switches to the right...

It also needs to support an integra7 with a macbook on top of it to the right topside of the Tyros, and a midi controller (still not decided between Novation zero sl2, arturia beatstep and nektar Panorama P1) and an ipad to the leftside of the Tyros


If i can find such a stand, i will buy myself a new Kronos 88 ... But where will i find such a stand? I seriously think about finding someone to customly build it. Just no clue, where... Any advices on this?



Also not decided on the bench, straight or round, but it has to have support for the lower back and be very comfortable to sit on.. Does anyone have a round bench that can turn, and does that even work when sitting behind a keyboard having a seat that can turn left to right? Never tried it, but i can imagine it not giving enough support and stabillity...


Happy with my insurance after all, having enough money to replace the lost gear is a wonderfull thing... ( i even considered a Wersi Sonic last week.. Yet no piano keys and my love for Tyros 5 made me step away quickly from that idea)


I hope to get some info on custom stands from you guys, and offcourse i will keep you all informed, and when the setup is finished, i will post some pictures...

If you can find the old Apex stand, one like Don Mason uses, it would definitely do the job.

All the best,

Gary

Those are not really what i meant, not adjustable in hight, in realtime..




This looks a bit more like it, still not it, but it looks awesome...

Here ya go!

HI Bachus,
I seem to remember seeing some custom made KB stands over at the German Yamaha forum.
You might want to post your question there too.
