stephenlnoe Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 With all of the gadgets in this board you've GOT TO cover the very very basics. I don't care what any "pro" says, you must have a facility to hold up music sheets. Belittle my comment all you want but a simple music stand to hold up music notation is a requirement.

Joe Muscara Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That's funny, since most "pro" boards don't have a music stand built-in. Which ones do? "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

NeedMoreBass Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That's funny, since most "pro" boards don't have a music stand built-in. Which ones do? It is an option on the PC3K8 which I do have. No such option on my Kronos 88 however. The SV-1 comes with one included. A music rest would have been good to have, but doesn't take away from how much I like this board.

area51recording Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah.....no music stand.......I sent mine back.........not. Seriously, while it would be nice for some gigs to have it, it ain't exactly a deal breaker..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenlnoe Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Guys, pro's teach other people. for that you need music. I'm not talking about giggin. If you're giggin then you don't need a stand most of the time. I guess since it's marketed as a stage piano then yes, no music stand needed most of the time. But they are not marketing it only as a stage piano in all actuality. They're pumping up its master keyboard/zone/synth/acoustic piano abilities. Let's put it this way, you' wouldn't complain if you received a music stand would you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Fortunately, if people must have music stands, they are available for purchase separately. Also, some keyboard stands have attachments available. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenlnoe Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 even a clip on with indentations would work (a la Yamaha PSR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I would vote for some kind of easy extension system for PX-5S, but mostly for attaching an iPad or tablets in general, using music sheets/stands is old-fashioned today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't this already covered ad nauseum on page 20 or so of this 97-page thread? (Loving the thread...just think it's funny that the conversation has looped backed onto itself now.)

stoken6 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I agree with Scott - if you're desperate for a music stand, you can add one. Far more important to have features you can't "retro-fit", such as controller capability (check). I don't think this board is even aimed at teachers. If it was, it would have built-in speakers. Casio have the PX-150 and 350 in their lineup for that. (Other digital pianos are available...) Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpops Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have a sneaking suspicion that if you're brave enough to remove the blue plastic strip from the top of the keyboard, you'll find the PX-350's indented groove for attaching the music rest. It would make sense for them to use the same shell for both boards. Mike might be able to confirm or deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Also, if you read comments about placing Privias into soft cases, most of them complain about the music stand sticking out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpops Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Also, if you read comments about placing Privias into soft cases, most of them complain about the music stand sticking out... Unfortunately, the Privia soft cases have pockets that are too small for most music stands. Nice case apart from that, though. It will take the Roland FP-4, the Numa Piano, and the Yamaha P-105, in addition to the Privias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayang Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just got a PX-5S over the weekend and hooked it up to an AV receiver with subwoofer/satellite speakers with regular Stereo playback. The key action makes a "thud" when the key is pressed to the bottom and even makes a sound when it bounces back up. Note that these are sounds made by the keybase itself, and not the selected Tone. The key action sounds become really distracting when softer pieces are being played, or with Tones like GrandConcert piano which are softer anyway. Has anyone else seen this with their PX-5S, and is it a normal part of the keyboard design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenlnoe Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, some sort of option for adding a stand is in order. Also, the idea of sheet music as old fashioned is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, some sort of option for adding a stand is in order. Also, the idea of sheet music as old fashioned is ridiculous. After having 2000+ scores on an iPad, few look at using paper sheet music. Unless you have stock in a paper company, of course. I don't miss having no built-in stand, suspect as the reviews for other Previas state, it would be tough to squeeze the unit into a gig bag due to such constructions.

Of course you're speaking for yourself. I thought of going with sibelius but it's just not the same as paper/pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried EVERY keyboard in the house and they ALL make some sort of "key" sound when playing - The Px5s made some noise, but my SQ-80 is the loudest. The instrument with the quietest action?

Wayang Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks for the update. Good to know that other players think that this is normal for keyboards like the PX-5S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADino Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I still use a book of music..thought about doing an ipad, but sometimes changes are made, arrgmts, chords, roots, modulations. Some tunes are ever changing. Can u do that on an ipad? Not to get off topic, still looking for a 5 to try. Bound to happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
