stoken6 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I bring a pair of egg shakers to gigs in case one or both of my hands are doing nothing in certain songs. I'm looking for a holder that can keep them close by, that can clamp to my keyboard stand. Has anyone solved this problem? There are plenty of "tray"-type solutions, but they won't stop eggs from rolling away. Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Put a small strip of adhesive "velcro" on your keyboard. Put a small piece of the appropriate velcro on each egg. Just stick them to the keyboard when not in use. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Williams Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'd anchor a bowl with velcro, and put the shakers in the bowl. That way the velcro doesn't eat the HF from the shakers' sound. If you are going with a mic stand, get a cup holder and just drop them into that.

Mark Schmieder Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Are these the big ones or the small ones? I find that the big ones (and mine are SUPER huge), don't tend to roll around, maybe due to center of gravity vs. curvature compared to the more typical small ones. Nevertheless, the first thing that came to mind was velcro. It shouldn't affect the sound.

stoken6 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Thanks for all the sensible and silly suggestions. I should stress that I'm looking for something that can clamp to a tube on my keyboard stand (not to sit in my refrigerator, or on my kitchen countertop). The cupholder was the first thing I thought of, but most that I've seen are a little small to hold a pair of 2.5inx1.5in eggs. Cheers, Mike.

J.F.N. Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hence the Amazon plastic eggholder I sent ya, cut the "lid" off, attach the remaining "bottom" egg holder to whatever type of clamp that works on to your stand. No idea what stand you use but I am sure you have a clue about how you could attach something to it, like this one: Quote "You live every day. You only die once."

I'm not clear how to attach your amazon link to the clamp. It looks like it's made of ABS - if I try and drill it I'm concerned it will crack/shatter.

Well, I pulled the trigger (apologies that the forum software seems to be rotating the image). The tray is bigger than I need, but actually sturdy enough to hold a drink alongside two eggs. Note: the tray simply comes with a microphone thread in its base. I have (separately) one of those "clamps-onto-a-mic-stand" mic holders that it screws onto. Cheers, Mike.

Docbop Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I was at Guitar Center this week with my guitarist buddy and as I told him when I get back into recording is when I'm in the drum department at GC looking for small percussion. I picked up a couple things and seeing this thread I thought one of the shakers I got might be a better way to go than egg shakers. I've seen others use them. It the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Shaker. It's to small plastic tube shakers that connect so they lie flat and have a small opening between the two tubes they you could hang it off a something. Also I you can get more types of shaker sounds than a egg shaker. They come in three sizes and sounds, below is the link to the large one.
