>I am trying to make a keyboard stand, for my Bx3 and Nord Stage (hopefully if i dont
return it when it arrives, ive read so many bad reviews). My big issue is, that i don't like to
play piano on the upper tiers.

Decisions, decisions! Too bad we can't get everything to work out simple,easy.

Myself I wish more pianos were available in 73 or 76 keys so the board wouldnt be so long for handling.

I know someone that has played more piano than organ likes 88 notes and hammer action keys.

I use a Generalmusic Promega 3, 88 notes and built like a tank for a lower keyboard to go with an XK 3. It is a compromise for the organ sounds and actually will not provide a note if depressed slowly. I would hate to transport it by myself. 76 keys would still give a few extra notes lower and higher than 61 notes and that is near the end of useful range for most sounds. An 88 note would not go into a pickup truck alongside the driver I don't think and would be a problem in a passenger car.

Someone can probably suggest good stands so you can decide.

I once bought a K2500 76 key that I returned while new enough and actually ended up from the dealer with a K2500 module and a Korg Trinity and was glad I didn't keep the K
keyboard because of its stiff "semiweighted (imitation hard springs) action.

Cheers,

Harold
