ElmerJFudd Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Lightweight is where it"s at. Gotta get to the cocktail hour quickly in one trip on a warm summer day while wearing a suit and without sweating. truth Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesB3 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'm not sure I would do this or (as mentioned) it is even worth doing but if I did want to pursue this I would forget contact paper. The stuff you want is 3M Di Noc. It comes in wood, silk, carbon fiber and a multitude of textures and colors. Just order up a few swatches that might have the look your deem appropriate. They're a dollar each. Once you've decided, order up a big roll and apply. Watch the videos and have all the tools on hand before you start. Sand and paint the end blocks to compliment the Di-Noc.

Stokely Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Boy does this thread remind me of just how low an opinion I have of big weddings..."bride's color choices" indeed. I watched my brother's (ex) wife and family tear each other to pieces for months planning a huge monstrosity. As ludicrous as the idea of someone complaining about a musician's keyboard color might seem on the surface, after hearing all about the anal obsessiveness of that fiasco I can certainly believe it. Hoping my boys, when/if they marry, find someone willing opt for a small simple ceremony* and the money that would have been thrown away on all that big wedding crap for a single day can go toward a nice® house. Wedding industry is right there with the funeral industry in the giant rip-off dept, but however people want to spend vast sums of money I guess they can go to town. (*though I'd hate for all the keyboard players to be put out of work! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quai34 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Exactly, there is several examples on the Nord forum site for wrapping your keys with another Color.... Yes, the 3M option is the best for sure, better than Vynil..... Quote Stage 2, C2, NL2X+TC Pedals, P08+Tetra+H9, P12+TC Chorus D50+PG1000, 2 Matrix 1K, Proteus 2K, TX802, Streichfett, Drumbrute.

PianoManChuck Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I see a red board and I want it painted black... Seriously, I can't see why it would even matter.

Phil Aiken Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 My Nord Electro is black, with the wood sides sanded down and stained. I had a very skilled friend do it the day I bought it.

ShadowMan Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I've done my share of weddings and never had a problem. The newleyweds and families have been welcoming and wonderful. That said, if it didn't specify it in your contract, then frankly it's their problem if they don't like the color of your stock keyboard. (Now if you had a bunch of stickers on it, that would be another story...) Maybe it's me - I have no issue covering up the manufacturer's name on my board, if someone made that big a deal about the color of my keyboard I'd probably just pack up and leave... and let them do without keys. Life is way too short to deal with absurd, unnecessary drama. As they say, that's just my .02 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
