ESFlash Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I switch off on various instruments depending on the gig. Lately I've been doing more piano/organ and lap steel jobs. Recently, I came up with this idea which permits me to "slide" easily between keys and lap steel. Basic construction -- with a single tier stand I needed 7/8" OD tubing -- the double tier stand, above, used 1" OD The shelf is particle board covered in carpet The block at the headstock keeps the tuning keys from hitting the shelf, and also provides a good playing angle. Luckily my legs fit comfortably under the shelf Easy setup and tear down And in case anyone is wondering here's the setup specifics: I run both boards in mono. Top Board: original SK1 with FC7 Expression & Hammond/Suzuki Half Moon mounted on the front -- Audio Out from SK goes to the Audio In of the bottom board (no midi). Bottom Board, by now, a most likely considered ancient Casio PX330, that I love. It goes into a Carbon Copy -----> Lester K -------> into an 18 Volt 10 Band MXR EQ. All three are powered by a small LEEKY ISP 6 Isolated Power Supply that provides, 9, 18, and 6-12 variable, voltages. I don't use the LesK with the SK, only on certain PX330 patches. A Fender Rumble 100 handles both boards. Lap steels are: 1950's Oahu Supreme 6 tuned, G High Bass; and a newer (modified) Gretsch G570 in E6 --- no outboard efx except Volume pedal and what I get out of the amp, a very inexpensive Stage Right, which can go from clean to crazy, depending on the gain structure setting -- 12" Speaker, Verb, 15 watt triple 12AX7 / dual EL84 design . . . . close to as basic as one can get 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockeys Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Nice work. Would you get back/neck pain from stretching to reach the top board? Quote Yamaha MODX8, Legend Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESFlash Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Yes low to high GBDGBD Thankfully no pain ... the SK is at a comfortable playing height. I think the photos make it appear higher than it actually is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
