Members eric Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 I saw nothing of the sort at NAMM and I did visit the keyboard stand booths. Perhaps you would like the Solid Stand that has a motorized part to raise and lower your boardz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eric Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 nah, i definitely want to be standing during performances. sitting down, and performing, just don't seem to go hand in hand. I play standing as well. The Solid Stand can support standing, sitting, jumping etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skuller Posted January 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 I play standing as well. The Solid Stand can support standing, sitting, jumping etc. haha, very cool. reminds me of the band tubring. the guy jumps onto his keyboard stand, and plays the keys with his feet. nuto. anyway, i want the keyboards angled toward the crowd for ergonomic reasons. playing standing with the keyboard at regular angle, cramps up my wrists. i mean when i play piano, i don't cramp my wrist, and it's pretty much law with piano teachers to keep the hands as straight as possible. plus then the crowd can see what you're doing. still can't believe it. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 You could probably just make something yourself...I doubt that a stand like you describe would be mass-produced. Would you be wearing a cape with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skuller Posted January 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 ala wakeman? bahaha. whichever stand company comes up with it first, they'll have a huge market. think ergonomics. it just makes sense. look at ricks hand above. that's a slap on the wrist from any piano teacher.

Whatever perceived gain you have in wrist ergonomics will be shot by the neck pain from bending over to see the display and tweak teh knobz. Sounds like you're onto a hot idea...why not design and sell it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eric Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ultimate Support is celebrating their 30th anniversary and I've seen print adds that feature a newly designed Apex stand . . . has anyone else seen this yet?? It features rounded edges and appears to have a wood grain veneer. The support arms have a brushed aluminum look and there is a new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skuller Posted January 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 I snapped off a couple of quick photos of this Apex at NAMM a few days ago, mainly because I thought it was kind of odd looking. Not butt ugly, but pretty darn gi-normous. I prefer keyboard stands to be "invisible." Here are my photos: damn, that ball adjustment is so close to being a universal adjustment. maybe it's liability with keyboards falling off away from the user. keyboard stands need to be more like tripods for photography. locked in place, wherever it goes. that second photo is awesome.

Ergonomically correct? There aren't many piano teachers who utilize this kind of positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akliner Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ergonomically correct? There aren't many piano teachers who utilize this kind of positioning. Also, if you're worried about proper piano hand and wrist technique...you wouldn't be playing standing. Go make your stand...I won't buy it.

Members akliner Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 I don't use my hands and wrists when I stand, however. Also, the arm/wrist/hand orientation of playing should be exactly the same regardless of whether you are sitting or standing. The only difference is your leg's height. Any keyboard stand can adjust to a proper and healthy height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is your leg's height. Any keyboard stand can adjust to a proper and healthy height. I'm bothered by the fact my wrists have to bend to play standing. A slight tilt away from the users body, would make it as though one is playing sitting with proper wrist position, while standing. I don't want carpel tunnel man. You say the arm/wrist/hand orientation of playing should be exactly the same regardless of whether you are sitting or standing, however with current keyboard stands, this is impossible, at least for me, because I'm 6'4". You say 'any' keyboard stand can adjust to a proper and healthy height, but it's simply not true. You're probably just short. And oh yes you will buy it. With extended warranty. bahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend you try to find one on the used market. Not sure why you think that stylized Sherinian stand position is the only answer?

Members skuller Posted January 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 he's actually the second guy i saw with one. janne wirman uses an ergo stand too, of some sort. i imagine it's custom made, too. i spoke with the president of ultimate support today. they're interested in the idea. so maybe we'll see one soon. it IS the only answer for me, and i'll be satisfied when i pick one up.
