RudyS Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 As some of you know, I recently added a Mopho keys to my rig. I did not want to add a third tier on my Km18880 stand (mainly because of looks as a play sitting down). I had the idea to make a custom stand from an old KM18881 stacker which was broken any way. I let a local befriended welder made a plate of aluminium with a bended edge on the front. Then he cut the 18881 stacker and welded the end piece on the plate. See this picture. This way I could stack it in my 18882 stackers, on which my electro is resting: The result in the rig is like this: I am quite happy with the result. I have to stretch a bit to reach the volume knob (which is awkwardly positioned on the top right corner of the Mopho), so added a volume pedal for that. The other thing is that of course it is not completely handy for transportation. But a have a big bag with cable and think I can put it in with that.

Joe P Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Very cool. Creative thinking on display! Does it contact the Electro? I see you have some pads on the underside.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyS Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 yes, it is designed to rest on the electro to support the weight. However it is actually sturdy enough to carry the mopho by itself. I think it will also make a good laptop stand. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyS Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Cool! Everyone should befriend a local welder. Yes. That is very handy. This was totally free:) I also need a stand voor my melodica when I do my jazz gig, so I might contact him again:) Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markay Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think it will also make a good laptop stand. My first thought. Excellent creative solution.

OB Dave Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That's an awesome looking stand. Is the stacker piece steel or aluminum? I thought those were made out of steel. I ask, because steel and aluminum don't weld together well. I'd hate to see your gear damaged if the weld fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyS Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 The stacker, as well as the stand is made from aluminium. That's why I made the plate from Aluminium as well. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesG Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Aluminium is tricky. Guessing your friend has a TiG setup. Buy him one more beer than you think necessary, this is a good friend to have.

yadayada Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 What's the board slid down the side in that seconded photograph? Also great way to solve the problem. Looks neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyS Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's a Yamaha An1x. I sold it when I got the Nord A1. Still a really good board, even if you don't consider it is from 1997.... Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
