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

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

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.

This stand is sturdily constructed and defintely saves your back while playing the Keytar. I'm 6'2" and am comfortable playing it standing up as your hands should be arched slightly during proper play anyways. I jam out in Pro mode for hours with this and feel just fine. No complaints other than they sent an extra "short" screw when there should have been a "long" one. No problem though, it still screwed together fine - just took a bit of effort to get it started. The only complaint I have is that there is no way to lock it in the Down position so when you put it up after play, it will extend to its full length and require you to press the release button to get it back down. This could be a feature though - you start out sitting with a soft intro to a song and later stand up to seriously bang the ivories. Another minor annoyance is that the top plastic piece on the stand extension sometimes pops out - making the keyboard pivot or "wobble". No biggie though - a piece of tape on the plastic piece and the metal tube keeps it secure. Because I tend to get enthusiastic and sometimes shift the keyboard by accident, I placed a small piece of velcro on the stand and the keytar and it absolutely stops all side-to-side movement, yet allows for easy keytar removal. Highly recommend this stand for any serious Rock Band Rocker!

It works well with the keyboard. I’m giving it three stars because it is so heavy and it doesn’t collapse. It takes up so much room in my closet.

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.

Easy to put together, and height adjustable, so it works well sitting or standing (I'm 5'10, and the max height was comfortable; not sure how it would feel for taller folks). Solid workmanship. It doesn't shake or move when being used. 4 stars instead of 5 because it isn't collapsible, and thus isn't easy to store.

The rock band 3 keyboard is a great addition for a great game. Unlike the guitars, however, the keyboard is difficult to play by simply holding it. Until I bought this stand, I had tried to play the keyboard either on the coffee table or on my lap. In both cases, it was difficult to place my hands properly on the keys, and on my lap the keyboard is not stable enough. The stand made from metal parts with some plastic stoppers at the corners. The kit includes all the screws, washers, and nuts as well as a little wrench that you will need to assemble. The assembly instructions are poor (there is only one picture), but the assembly is still easy enough and the parts really ony fit together one way. I think it took about 10 minutes to assemble. The keyboard stand fixes problems of stability and allows you to comfortably place your hands on the keyboard. The foot of the stand is wide enough to be stable on carpet even when you are seriously jamming. Once assembled, the keyboard fits well and does not wiggle much. It creates an infinitely more stable platform when compared to a lap or a coffee table. The keyboard stand also has a button with holes to adjust the height. At full extension, you can play the keyboard while standing. The stand also collapses low enough to allow the keyboard to played on a couch. This is a five-star product. If you have Rock band 3 or plan to get it: you should consider getting this stand if you are also getting the Rock band 3 keyboard.

Easy to assemble. More than sturdy enough to support Rock Band keyboard.

Ich hab auch viele LiveKonzerte gespielt. Dieser Key Stand ist professionell, bloß kleiner. Er hält was aus. Der Stand des Keyboards ist solide. Ich werde ihn auch als Moog Stand verwenden.

Surprisingly sturdy stand for the price. I don’t use it it with a Rock Band keyboard but with a small 32 key MIDI controller on stage and works as expected! The height is adjustable and so it can be used at table level as well as standing up!

merci

this is a very much needed addition to the rock band 3 key board Nice to see they put some thought into their gaming systems my grand son is going yo love this Was delivered on time very sturdy construction
