Members seratone1 Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Recently I've been seeing bands keyboardist using what appears to be a hollowed out B3 cabinet or a piano cabinet mock-up as a keyboard stand - inside are laptops, Nord Synths and MIDI controllers. I just the saw the Wallflowers tonight hiding a Nords Stage and Electro behind what looked like a hollowed out piano. I've also seen My Morning Jacket, REM and Band of Horses do the same thing. Has anyone done this - knows of Web references of where these things are made? As a keyboard player it would be amazing to hide all your dirty secrets in something like this and give the stage a more retro feel. Hide all your cables, sustain pedals, Ipads, Laptop etc) I noticed Rami Jaffe had the inside top of his hollowed out piano well lit. Naturally it would make sense to have something collapse-able for transport. Any idea's where I can find more information on these? or what they're even called?

Members SeniorBlues Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Removing the innards from a piano - including the plate - is a lot of work, and I don't see how you can make the case "collapsible." If you're undeterred, measure the width of your keyboard and make sure it will fit on the keybed between the "arms". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RetroVintageOld Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Your best bet would be to buy some thin wood paneling and make a mock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've heard them referred to as shells. Googling "piano shell" came up with this link:http://www.grandillusionpianoshells.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
