How to affix my KB to a stand? Thanks.

Great for getting the cover for it -- you won't regret it... Now go have some FUN!!!

Yes yes yes. And remember to buy the optional addon spillproof beer cozy.

Seriously don't buy the cheapest dust cover you can find.

Those stretchy nylon pieces of crap trap more dust than they repel.

I usually get my dustcovers from this guy in Illinois.

Too late, I bought the cheapest I could find on the site who's name is like a South American jungle. Another thing to add to my shopping list, then. I'll have to wait until I'm a riff playing jam master musician like your good self, before I can afford a cover that's custom made.

Use the cheap one to wax your car.

The lecover ones are dustproof, waterproof, rubberized ripstop nylon and $30 won't break the bank.

Are they fastenable?

Again, how often does a hurricane blow thru your studio?

They are hand sewn, with contours to fit loosely but snugly atop a keyboard on a stand.

Do you mind my asking if you own a cat or several of them? (impervious to cat pee!)

Do you have toddlers scurrying around your studio space?

Do you live in an earthquake zone?

Otherwise in a normal home studio environment there is precious little reason to fasten down a keyboard or its dustcover.

Space is tight, the fixing of the KB only cost six pounds
and for that I get security. Basically. Tight space, more risk of bumping into something.

Thirty dollars isn't much...except for the price of postage, then you're looking at $50, all in.

I've been resting my keyboards on x stands and z stands for 30 years and have never dropped one yet.

 

[ArthurDent]

Does the $30 include an image on the cover?

I live in Canada and am used to getting screwed on shipping all the time.

Even so I won't use anything else for my babies.

Simple embroideries are free of charge I think.

Logos from artwork my be extra.

An embroidered dragon logo would be cool.

On my oldest dustcovers they simply used a silkscreen process.

They only started with the computerized custom embroidery less than a decade ago.

Personally I usually opt for embroidery free to maintain consistency in my studio.

And I believe there are licensing issues when it comes to embroidering brand names.

I just took a look at their current options and if you wanna pay they really can play.

Like I said, I usually opt for a clean cover with no graphics.

It looks better in the studio.

Remember, once you pick a theme you're married to it for life.

Hello folks. I've just bought a Yamaha PSR-E463, with a stand. I need to secure it properly, does anyone know how. It's a sturdy stand. It has two holes on each side of the stand corresponding to the left and right of the keyboard. Currently there are four pads, one in each corner. You help would be appreciated.

I've found the best way to easily secure a keyboard to most any stand is to get foam pipe insulation and cut to fit your stand. The foam generally comes with an adhesive back that sticks decently and the foam itself keeps the keyboard from slipping and sliding. You can pick up the foam rather inexpensively from Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

Yes, Gary -- but think of all the pedals you could put on that!!!
