CEB Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I want to fabricate some sort of frame that will wrap around the Keyboard stand. and I cant attach some sort of funky cloth print to it. I would think should be an easy and fairly commonly available for things like both displays etc.... Anybody do something like this. What would be the easiest way to fabricate a frame? It has to be collapsably. I am thiking something like the stage sets that Chester Thompson's rig would sit behind on some Santana shows.

Losendoskeys Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If you look at my "stand" in this thresd, it started out as three pieces of ply held together in the corners by hinges so that it folds flat. It had a piece of webbing across the front to stop the sides opening out - pretty simple (until I installed shelves! - it still folds flat(ish) though) https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2557872/Re_The_stand_construction_thre#Post2557872 Yamaha CP70B;Roland XP30/AXSynth/Fantom/FA76/XR;Hammond XK3C SK2; Korg Kronos 73;ProSoloist Rack+; ARP ProSoloist; Mellotron M4000D; GEM Promega2; Hohner Pianet N, Roland V-Grand,Voyager XL, RMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGITC Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think this is a good idea. Personally, I would just go with black fabric so as not to draw attention away from you.

resigned Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Not exactly what you asked for but still worth a mention: Some years ago I decided to kill two birds with one stone by having a magnetic sign made up at a sign shop with my logo and web address on it. I sized it to fit the side of my car (van at the time). I also got a cheap piece of aluminum from Home Depot that I could hang from the front of my keyboard stand and attach the magnetic sign to. It worked great and it didn't have any folds in it like fabric would. I could also mount the sign on the wall behind me. It wasn't terribly expensive and it looked very good on stage or going down the road. edit: also check out www.pianoback.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesG Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's plausible that you could use "male" velcro sticky tape on the stand and/or bottom board and get muslin to hook into it.

CEB Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think I found what I want. 1" square aluminum tubing with slip over connectors. Going to search if this stuff is available locally. All the parts are available from this company. http://www.estoconnectors.com/index.php/price-list/print/category/1-inch-1516-od-.044-wall-/ "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

EscapeRocks Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not sure where you reside, but if there's a Joann's Fabrics near you they have all kinds of things for making what you want, as well. I always stroll through there when doing projects, just to see what might work. David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I was going to go there to look at cloth. Thanks. I didn't think they would have hardware. I struck out at Lowes. Thank again.

EscapeRocks Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 PS. I am from the great state errrr .... The state of Illinois about an hour north of St Louis. I grew up in downtown Chicago. Love the city. Anyway, I believe Joann's has the kind of hardware you use to make frames for painting, where you stretch the fabric over it.

Bucktunes Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 PS. I am from the great state errrr .... The state of Illinois about an hour north of St Louis. Actually, the state of Illinois is great. It's our leaders who stink! And that's all I'll say about that, lest I cross the line into political discussion. And the only reason I've said this much is because I can't imagine anyone who lives here disagreeing with my statement! And back on topic, I agree with the JoAnn's suggestion. I like the black cloth/velcro idea. I'm considering doing this myself, and putting the band's logo on the front. ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
