Nomadness Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Hi folks... Thought I would post a link to this here, to help anyone who needs to place a music stand behind the PX-5S without using a tripod floor-mount. Basically, I took a standard Manhasset black aluminum table-top stand (Model #53) and raised it by five inches... the lip is just above the back of the board, and it does not interfere with cables. As an added bonus, the legs fold out of the way for packing or stowage... that was a key issue for my studio (which is aboard a sailboat, where space is at a premium). Here is a little how-to article with photos: https://microship.com/how-to/music-stand-px-5s-digital-piano/ Cheers!

Redwave Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Steve, thanks for these great instructions which I stumbled across a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to building last night. I wanted it a little higher so sanded down a 1-foot 3/4" dowel for the rear leg and halved a 69c yardstick from Lowes for the front struts. The resulting elevated stand works fine and will look better when I get around to painting the wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadness Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sounds good, Redwave! If you like to send a photo sometime, I might add it to the page... would be fun to show a few other peoples' versions to help visualize alternatives. Do you find the yardstick stiff enough when the stand is heavily loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadness Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just an update - I came here to fix that link above when I noticed it was not redirecting. Since then I have moved aboard a larger boat and built a piano drawer under the lab desktop. The construction details are here: https://microship.com/building-piano-drawer/ Cheers!
