Customer Reviews
I bought this for my new keyboard for Rock Band 3, realizing almost immediately that I was never going to be interested in playing it like a "keytar". As someone with years of piano lessons behind her, I intend eventually to play this in pro mode, so I realized I needed it to be comfortable for me to play.
As a long time Rock Band aficionado, I'm used to the relative flimsiness of plastic instruments, so I knew from the time I picked up the box that this wasn't your average RB instrument bit. The box weighed a ton! Opening the box, I found heavy-duty, square tubular parts and pretty complete directions on how to assemble it. It's not hard to assemble, but unless you're ambidextrous like me, it may be helpful to find another person to assist when tightening down the screws. It's best to hold the wrench in one hand while tightening them with the allen wrench (tools are provided), rather than the other way around.
I admit that I anticipated the relative stability of an average music stand (read: not particularly stable) but was very pleasantly surprised at how stable this stand seems to be. It adjusts to several heights and I found both a standing height and a sitting height that work perfectly for me.
It may seem like a bit much to pay for a stand for a plastic guitar, but honestly, it's better than several music stands I've owned that I've paid a lot more for. If you find the "keytar" doesn't work for you but you want to play keyboards, it's a wise investment toward increasing your enjoyment of the game.
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.
