How important is this feature for you?

I would not buy a keyboard witouth this option (unless the keyboard is allways hiding in the lower position)

Yet there are quite some professional keyboards that dont have an option to add a music stand at all, while others have it as a quite expensive optional buy

For home use an attached stand is OK but I don't like them for gigs. I use a Quik Lok 695 two tier stand with my BK9. I have the upper tier tilted back with a black home made shelf velcroed to it. It holds my IPad, music, notepad or whatever I need and is out of sight of the audience. Much larger than a plastic attachable music rest . Music racks and built in speakers are two things I don't like in a Pro Keyboard.

Well, production costs are nearly zero, and you can allways detach them when gigging and only use them at home... And they ahould be metal and not cheep plastic..

The only built-in stand I ever liked was the clear lucite one from the G70. Al the Yamaha ones are too flimsy and they block my and the audience view. Now I use an ipad and had to buy a holder for that.

I'm not Cass but maybe this will give you an option, I've been using this for the last 2 years, I'm very happy with it. It can be set on a mic stand with a very low profile.

anyone else considering the new ipad pro as a music reader? its 12,7"inch screen will be a treat to my eyes...
