Is it sturdy enough for you? If you intend to move it around, is it easy for you to carry? I think the PL400 is a very nice choice overall. Just slide the rubber bumpers toward the side that faces you and place the keyboard so that front of it is flush with the front of the stand bars pointing at you. Let the extra depth of the stand extend out behind the keyboard. I think you're good to go! LOL Don’t stress too much over this. :)

]]> Comment on The Roland KR-33 Digital Piano – Sleeping Giant by Spring Neal http://www.dirtfloorrecording.com/98/the-roland-kr-33-digital-piano-sleeping-giant/comment-page-1/#comment-143 Spring Neal Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:42:20 +0000 http://www.dirtfloorrecording.com/?p=98#comment-143 I was given a KR33 as a gift so I would learn the piano when I was only 13, now 21 years later the original wood stand has NOT made it through my many moves. I looked at replacing the Roland home stand and they are VERY PRICEY and aftermarket doesn't seem to be an option. So, it seems that I am in the market for a home stand. I picked up a 'keyboard stand' and brought it home, but it appeared to be to small and 'wobbly' so I returned it and purchased a $70 double armed version from Proline (PL400) but it seems be too large. Is there something in between that is budget friendly. I just don't want it to fall. I don't play aggressively, just gently piano playing, maybe Im being too picky....HELP!!!! -Spring I was given a KR33 as a gift so I would learn the piano when I was only 13, now 21 years later the original wood stand has NOT made it through my many moves.

I live in Floyds Knobs, IN (near Louisville KY). I have not used it in years, I recall that the disk drive does not work (but from reading here that sounds like a simple fix). This was used in a local small-time recording studio before I bought it in 1989 or 90 and used it for several years in my home. I also will throw in a bunch of factory and custom disks - some from the studio (if I can find them). rayhortonATinsightbb.com I have an Akai X7000 Keyboard Sampling Synth that I will give free to the first person who contacts me and (first preference) arranges to pick it up or (second preference) pays for shipping.
