This is a breath of fresh air. Have you seen the prices for keyboard stands... especially sturdy and expandable keyboard stands? I started pricing what was shown... it's completely price competitive and delivers WAY more open-ended flexibility and stability than anything in any price (that is widely available, anyhow). I'm totally sold. This was so obvious... how did I not see this before! In fact... I need a new studio mixing desk to incorporate a mixer, a Kurzweil PC3k8 and a few rack items... and a couple levels of desk (one each for mouse, 2xLCDs, 2xStudio monitors). Time to crack open the catalog... I bet I can do better with Gibraltar than the expensive $2,000-$3,000 'studio furniture' options out there which all seem to always be missing something critical (plus: MDF vs steel? ha) and all are totally inflexible down the road. GREAT POST!!! More like this please guys. Holy crap. This is a breath of fresh air. Have you seen the prices for keyboard stands… especially sturdy and expandable keyboard stands?

Is there a delay in manufacturing? We can we expect to see these widely available? These don’t seem to be generally available at most retailers yet. Is there a delay in manufacturing?

I agree with the first commenter that you do need a parts list of some kind...I don't mind figuring out the specs (height, distance, etc.) for myself, but I don't even know where to begin. A basic parts list of what you showed in the video would at least help me get started. +1 for a great job and thinking of a creative way to use your hardware! I ran across this on YouTube, and will share it with others. Josh As a semi-pro keyboard player who has long bemoaned the state of keyboard stands, this idea looks amazing!
