Rock Band 3 - Keyboard Stand for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii

Awesome. Fits my mini Yamaha. Excellent heavy duty construction. Sort of like bed frame parts and strength.The seller was excellent on delivery

But I did receive the stand and wanted to release my initial impressions. I should be getting the keyboard next week and I'll edit my review then.First impressions:The quality of the stand is top-notch; the frame is comprised of tubular metal and the rubber feet are textured and grooved for non-slip performance. The metal cradle utilizes thin strips of foam to support the keyboard gently and presumably to prevent scratching on the bottom of the keyboard. The vertical portion of the stand is braced on a T-frame and seems quite sturdy; there is no danger of buckling in the frame that I could discern.The stand itself is adjustable with a push-button / slide assembly. This is a little hard to slide, but I don't plan on moving it much once I've set it to a height that's comfortable. Heights appear to range from something that would make it easy for a 6-year old to operate the keyboard to a height that would be comfortable for someone who is about 6' tall to operate the keyboard.I'm actually tempted to rig this as a steering wheel platform at its lowest height with the use of a 2 x 4. I'll report on this later as well.Overall, it appears to be a perfect accessory for the RB3 keyboard. I will update my review once I receive it and perform a mock test by tickling the keys a bit. Stay tuned.** EDIT Received keyboard on 10 / 8 / 2010 **I received the keyboard and put it on the stand. Played with the keys and simulated some of the warble game play on the keyboard itself. The stand is pretty sturdy, even with aggrssive side-to-side movements. The game won't be delivered until 10 / 26 / 2010, but I still give the stand 5 stars!** EDIT Stand Modification on 10 / 11 / 2010 **I would recommend placing the brackets on the stand in the opposite direction then what is shown in the directions. Otherwise, the keyboard has a tendency to "ride up" on the sloped bracket when tickling the ivories.** EDIT Stand During Gameplay on 10 / 26 / 2010 **The stand during gameplay does wobble a little, especially when you distort notes with the touch pad during gameplay. However, it never wobbled alarmingly or led me to believe that anything was unstable. The stand help up quite well during 4 hours of gameplay. I stand behind the recommendation to get it, just be sure to modify it as I noted on 10/11/2010.

This is a great stand for a reface keyboard. Very sturdy. I see a lot of people play them in a table but I found that uncomfortable. I wish this stand folded. As is it’s fine to stick in the car but it’s not conducive for putting in a bag and walking somewhere, which is a big selling point for the refaces.Surprisingly Yamaha never made a stand, which is probably for the best since it would likely be $150

This stand is the absolute best bang for the buck in options for a good YAMAHA REFACE stand. It is sturdy as heck, and the height adjustment is more than enough. Im 6'2 and its perfect.Even at maximum height, theres hardly any wobble, i can play quite aggressively and it sits very still.The only drawback is that it is not terribly collapsible. It only has height adjustment, and does not fold any other way HOWEVER i see this as a plus at this price point because it makes the stand incredibly stable. If youre like me and have been searching far and wide for a stand for the reface series that doesnt cost as much as the keyboard itself, this is it. Get it.Oh and I imagine it supports the Rockband keyboard just fine, i dont know, i dont have the game.

I find the stand to be sturdy enough. However the stand has some issues that make keyboard playing slightly less fun. Firstly the stand wobbles a bit, especially when using the FX strip. I cured this by 'tickling' the strip to fill up powermeter. Secondly, the stand wobbles tortionally?[twist wise] I solved this by shoving a safety pin down the tube where it adjusts for height. Thirdly, the stand needed me to add velcro strips to ensure the keyboard would stay in place. And lastly, the plastic feet caps are sharp-edged and needed to be sanded to dull the edges[usually play bare-footed]. Since the keys are so sensitive to misstrokes even the slightest wobble will cause the user to hit the edge of the wrong key when playing at a good clip. So,well not perfect, with some McGuyvering you can fix the problems that really shouldn't be there in the first place.

I was expecting something like the cheap metal sheet music stands with thin triangular legs that wobble when the wind blows.That is not this stand.The whole thing is made of very heavy gauge square tubing that has a thick black powder coat paint job. It's braced and adjustable for height, and even here it's been built with that extra degree of strength. Instead of a simple pin that you pull out for adjustment this has a spring loaded button. The legs are set up like a T and sit on the floor their entire length. No "three tiny points on the floor" like a music stand here.It's also got rubber feet and plugs in the ends of the pipe, and the arms that the keyboard sits on are padded with a fairly thick rubber foam.I spend 99.9% of my time in a semi-reclined position to keep my back from sending me to the hospital,(nerve damage). This forces me to play the keys with the rig on my lap and at an angle. This causes problems with hitting multiple keys at the same time when needed, (it's hard to avoid hitting one key sooner or later than the others) as well as other problems like the keyboard sliding.After looking at the stand and the angle it sits at, I noticed that if the brace is left off, it will slide right up against the couch. It's at a perfect height and distance and should make for a much better playing experience. So even if you play reclined this will work for you.If you play normally, either seated or standing, it also makes an excellent setup. Well worth the $ and useful. If the keyboard was built even half this good it would be an amazing instrument.
