DeCato Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hi, I just bought a new Yamaha P-250 (I love it!!) but they sold a Quicklok M-91 keyboard stand with it. They said it was a better choice as the normal LP-3 stand made for these stage piano's are just for home use. However, once at home, I discovered that even at it's lowest setting, my P-250 is about 5 inches higher than my piano. Needless to say that it is nearly impossible to play it like this! Can someone give me advice on a good stand for the P-250 where the hight of the keybed would be at the same as a piano and that can be used on stage ? Thanks, DeCato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Horne Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 DeCato, this might sound like a dumb comment, but have you rotated the stand 90 degrees and tried it that way? I've run into a similar situation with my 'double X' stand and that solves the problem. Just a thought. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeCato Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Dave, Actually, the M-91 is not an X-stand, so it can only be used in one position. Great point though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trill Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 If you want to sit down with your P-250 .I would recommend returning your stand and getting the quick -lok WS550 We have one for the Motif -8 at church. It is very good for the large keyboards http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=4+leg+keyboard+stand&hl=en&lr=&rls=RNWE,RNWE:2005-30,RNWE:en&tab=ff&oi=froogler&sa=N&start=30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeCato Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks Trill, I have been measuring. The keys of my piano are at 72cm. The height of P-250 (bottom to the keys) is 14cm. So I would need a stand that can be set at around 58cm to get the same height. The WS-550 has a minimum height of 61.5 cm. This comes close but I know a few centimeters can mean a whole lot in playing comfort. The Quik-Lok QL746 can be set at 58.5, but I am not sure if it will be stable with a P-250 on it. Some will probably think I exagerate, but now that I bought such an expensive stage piano, I want to sit good and comfortable behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trill Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I own the Ql-746 and a P-200. I don't have any problems with it standing or sitting. I have played the Motif on the WS-550 it feels comfortable. Of course, I could be overlooking that fact when I am sneaking in time on the Motif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeCato Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Great! In that case I'll buy the Ql-746. I also think the Motif is a few centimeters less high (the 14 cm from the bottom up to the keys for the P-250 is huge), which would make the height of the WS-550 just fine for it. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
