This is mostly just me bragging, but others COULD find this design useful \:\)

Scroll to the bottom of this page: http://shazware.com/piano/rig.html

Imagine a Yamaha CP-33 and Roland PCR-800 in place of the vague boxes resembling keyboards.
A PC and subwoofer at the base and speakers at the level of the 2nd keyboard.
That rectangle on the 2nd kb is a pc keyboard.
Mouse on right top of 1st kb.
Music stand and pc monitor on top shelf sliding left and right together so each can take center stage.

Time to go hit Dunn Lumber !!
Then it's tablesaw time (and saaaanding and glueing and fiiiinishing and pc install)

It is gonna be soooooo cool \:D

Gotta go get my practice time in!

...Steve

Beautiful, Steve - nice Sketchup work!

(And I like the "irony overload")

I like it! I especially like sliding music stand and monitor... Hmmm, we'll be moving a PC to the "music room" once Daughter#3 finishes getting the stuff she wants off of it... Wonder if the BaldBassManwithTablesaw could rig the shelf above the Kawai with something like that?? Hmmmmmmmm

Pretty nice Steve,

If this were my rig, I would like to have a slight variation on the music stand. For some pieces I like to have 5 - 6 pages across the stand. How would it work with, say, two sliding stands and the monitor?

Well, the musicstand/monitor design ain't set in stone yet.
I'm also going to (eventualllly) try sheet music on the monitor you flip left and right with a button press on the pcr-800 (It only has about 25 tho - hmm - will that be enough???)

But then I suppose you could use a loooong music stand on the left side and a groove with a wider base than top, so the sliding top doesn't fall off when slid way out...

Or display the last page on the monitor.

Well, we'll see how it goes.
I'll keep the top shelf "take-apart-able"...

And to be more clear, the music stand AND monitor are on the same thin board with "groove catcher" on the bottom of it, only as wide as both of em.

The top shelf has the groove that it slides left and right in.
(That's not really detailed in the drawing.)
