Reddit mentions: The best keyboard instrument accessories & parts

I got a Casio Privia PX-330 about a year ago for work. Casio keyboards certainly don't have the clout of the the big names like Roland and Korg, but I got it because I needed to move it a lot. For a full sized, weighted action keyboard it is quite light and it sounds pretty fantastic.

I would suggest that for your mom's needs, this keyboard will be more than enough to meet demands. There's no reason to buy a large, heavier, more expensive keyboard aimed at professional level use just to get a good name when that's not what your mother probably really needs. This keyboard runs in the $600 price range. Drop a little money on a keyboard stand and a bench and you're all set for much cheaper than what someone has in their store.

You can buy a wooden stand and pedal board for under $100 and get a pretty decent looking keyboard set up and a set of a pedals. I can't say anything about the quality as I don't have them (they aren't tailored to my needs), but it's not a bad price to have a nice looking stand and a full set of pedals if she's not planning to move the keyboard around.

I'd highly caution against buying a keyboard out of a music store simply because of the ridiculous markup. I've seen the PX-130 (far inferior to the PX-330) for hundreds more than I bought my 330 for. To be honest, I've seen the PX-330 for cheaper at Best Buy than I've ever seen it in a music store. Many of those places are just going to rip you off. They pander to customers who are looking for instruments but don't know anything about them.

I always cry when I see a trumpet student walk out of a music shop with a piece of aluminum foil masquerading as beginner level instrument while paying a price that could've bought them a good Bach Stradivarius.

By the way, if you want to go even cheaper, that is you mother doesn't need lots of different bells and whistles, you might look at just getting a Privia PX-130. It's a few hundred cheaper and will most likely still meet her needs if she's been used to playing on a simple upright up till now. The piano sound is good and the action feels great (just like the 330). If money is a non-issue (sounds like it if you're looking to drop 2k on a keyboard) then the extras on the 330 are certainly fantastic.

I would just caution again not to overbuy for your mother's needs. Figure out what she wants out of it. If she wants a keyboard that has a good piano sound and functions like a piano, you don't need to get a keyboard with dozens of tones and such. You can can start paying a lot more when you're getting features meant for a different level of user.

NOTE: As I was looking around for links, I noticed that there are PX-330 and PX-130 keyboards from Casio that are NOT Privia. I can only speak to the quality of the Privia line from experience so beware of that when shopping. These non-Privias are much cheaper, but I'm not sure at what loss.

Privia PX-160 is my reco for a beginner looking to invest a bit more, but still under $600. I also recommend going to Guitar Center and playing a couple just in case you have a preference in another direction, but if you’re looking for a solid starter keyboard with weighted keys, this one is great. I did a lot of research. There is a dude at Kraft Music (kraftmusic.com) named Michael that I talked to on the phone and he was super helpful. My bundle was $533 and they don’t charge tax or shipping. And they sell packages: piano + console/stand + pedal.

Also have this adjustable stand separately purchased and I love it:

Happy piano’ing!

I can't speak as to whether or not they will be releasing a new model any time soon but I've owned a P-255 for about a year or so now and it is definitely one that I will be using indefinitely, or at least until I get to a more advanced level. It is a pretty solid piano for the price range. The keys feel good and I love being able to record right to a flash drive. My only complaint is that the speakers in the piano sound a bit weak sometimes but the issue is non-existent if you are playing with headphones. Portability wise, the piano does have some weight to it so juts keep that in mind.


As far as stands go, check out Z-stands. And see which ones will work for you. Example




I am currently using these headphones and they are fantastic. Incredible comfort and sound. The cable swaps out from the headphones so you can either plug them directly into the piano or swap the cord and use it to listen to music on your phone.

Well, on a budget, I see three digital pianos that stand out. The Yamaha P-115, the Kawai ES100 and the Roland F-20. They have around the same specs. The differences are the number of voices, styles, speakers and polyphony and MIDI support and most importantly, Tone. They all support the three pedal assemblies sold separately and come with one. Also stay away from Casio. Their action and Tone are inferior.

Voices and Styles don't matter if you are playing the piano because a piano is not a keyboard.

As for Speakers, the Yamaha and Kawai have 2 7W speakers and the Roland has 2 6W speakers. This means the Yamaha and Kawai will probably be louder and will sound possibly better. I've only compared the higher end Yamahas and Kawais and not these particular models but i find their digital piano sound quite comparable. This will not matter if you practice with headphones or are planning to buy a separate keyboard amp which can go from an extra 100 to 300 dollars.

Polyphony in a nutshell is the number of keys you can press simultaneously that will be played through the speakers. The Kawai and the Yamaha are 192 while the Roland is at 128 but this shouldn't matter. 128 is for most people much more than needed.

The Kawai has a MIDI input and output port for digital recording as well as the usual headphone ports. The Roland has a USB port for digital recording and can connect to a computer. The Yamaha has just a USB to host connector which can record MIDI to your PC but no MIDI in unlike the other two. Here, I like the Rolands features the most and the Yamahas the least. None of this will matter if she records via AUX and MIDI does not matter to her.

Now Tone. I find Yamaha and Kawai to be very similar on tone and I prefer Roland to them. It sounds warmer to me which I like. Get your girlfriend to try one/any digital piano from each company to see which she prefers.

Overall, Id get the Roland because its more or less equal to the Kawai and the Yamaha but the 100 bucks more than the Yamaha gets me a tone I prefer. Then I'd get the Kawai because of MIDI IN/OUT. Else, I would have gotten the Yamaha. But the Yamaha is the cheapest and only loses features you possibly may not care about and has a very nice Tone too.

You should get a piano bench that is adjustable. I started with the one linked below, although I'd shop around as the price may have jumped up. I don't remember spending 50 dollars, but considering it's lasted 6 years I guess it was worth it. It's not 100% adjustable since it has "levels" and you might end up needing a height between levels. The acoustic piano benches that are fully adjustable cost $200+ though. A bench at the proper height will help avoid back pain after playing for a little while.

Scales are good to learn, you can do this as a warm up. I just listed two that seem to come up often and only had a single black key in them. I wouldn't recommend learning only scales as that would get boring. My teacher would have me do one scale as a warm up and when I could play it two-octave, hands together, including the 3 primary chords and inversions, and the arpeggio (the book we used had all of these on one page) then we'd move to a new one.

Now I'm going back and playing the scales of any pieces I'm working on at the time during warm-up. I do 4 octaves contrary motion. So it starts out normal then half way left hand starts going back down and right hand keeps going up. When right hand hits the 4th octave it starts going down and left hand starts going up again. Makes them feel fresh. I can learn scales faster than pieces so soon I'll have to start rotating scales in that aren't tied to pieces.

Edit - this is the new book I use for scales. The old one was fine but this had a little more info in it. There were some sections at the beginning that explained how scales were formed before getting into the usual big list of all of them.

I splurged on this stand but I love how easy it is to adjust in a pinch (no more tightening as tight as you can).

For vocals I prefer the round weighted base cuz it’s easier to avoid tripping on. But I got a boom attachment for reach (can’t find the link sorry!)

I haven’t taken the plunge to actually bring a full keyboard onstage, but I have two of these - great for my Bass Station and Octatrack, and unobtrusive on a stage.

I put other gear on this keyboard stand, which is nice because the height and length are both adjustable, and it collapses quite easily.

At home I have a Pyle Z-stand, but I haven’t even thought about putting it in my car since I got it - kinda intimidated by the packing implications tbh :)

This is the Gator GK-2110 case that has been mentioned here before, combined with the Ultimate Guard Arkhive 400+ card case. I use Ultimate Guard dividers to separate the playlists in the box, and Fantasy Flight grey sleeves (I didn't link to the sleeves, as you should not get those on Amazon. Too expensive!)

The whole bag closes well when you pack it as shown in the photo. The bag is obviously not intended for a card box that is that high, so it's not perfect perfect, but it is, IMHO, a pretty good solution, the best I have found.

The Arkhive case has plenty of room for additional playlists, and the cover folds out to become a nice "playmat", very handy to keep card sleeves clean when sorting, deck building, etc (see bottom right picture). It is a fairly expensive case though.

If you put everything together like I did in the lower left picture, with the card case at the "hinge" side of the Gator case, then it zips up like in the top picture. I don't think you will get the case to zip if you try and put the cards on the other side of the board. I didn't try, I didn't want to break things. I am quite comfortable that there are no stresses on anything that will cause zippers to break, fabric to rip, or card boxes to get crushed.

Pre-amps in general are there to turn the low level signals needing a range of equalisation curves that you might get from a variety of devices into a consistent level output that is correctly formatted to be fed into a power amp that will then amplify the signal to a level that will drive loudspeakers. They dont make the sound any louder. As an extra, they often offer tone controls filters or graphic equalisers since this processing is easier to do at the pre-amp level.

In your case buying a preamp would be a waste of time since it wouldnt give you the extra volume that you require. A power amp would be better since it is designed to boost volume, but there is also no guarantee that it will accept the kind of signal that comes from your devices.

I'm guessing that there is a jack plug output from all of your devices (the thing you plug headphones into). If this is the case your best best is to get the cheapest integrated amp you can find and use that. Here is an example, here is another one. These are the cheapest I could find but if you have the money there are many better options.

I'm actually planning on making half of my pedalboard with the Danelectro FAB line. I already have the overdrive and fuzz. Joyo would be just as good or better, I guess, but there's really nothing wrong with the FAB products.

they're pretty good. I also just bought this the other day.

I have a stand like [this one: ] (https://www.amazon.com/Stage-KS7150-Table-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B000EXIMFI/ref=br_lf_m_r2pcbvggf66h9wy_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&s=musical-instruments) which is a lot more stable, easier to anchor down and you might be able to fit your amp under it which helps both with storage and hiding cords. Is it possible to block off the part of the room with the piano? Like, have the piano in a corner and have a baby gate around it (like the playpen type of baby gates), since that's a lot of things to keep out of reach. Speaking of the amount of things, are headphones an option? If you could leave the amp in a storage area then you could put the pedal and headphones up whenever they weren't in use and the piano would be the only thing you'd have to worry about. Bonus points: you could play during naptime.


You'll also need to think of how to secure the keyboard to the base (regardless of what you put the keyboard on) since it's easy to pull down. I haven't looked at the bottom of mine for a while, but are there any holes/bars that you could loop zip ties through to keep it on the stand? You should be able to bolt down the stand to the wall like any other piece of furniture.


If none of that sounds doable, do you have closet space to store it? Maybe just keep a space clear for it and unpack it when you want to play and re-pack it up when you aren't. That'd be a really annoying option, but it could work as a last resort scenario. I hope you can get it figured out so it works for your family!

If you just want to hear your playing, go with a good set of neutral studio headphones like the Audio Technica M40x for under $100.

If you don't want to mess with headphones, look at powered keyboard amps. NOT guitar amps - they color the sound by design. Keyboard amps are designed to accurately reproduce the source like the studio headphones.

Something like this, just choose how big: https://www.amazon.com/Peavey-KB-20W-Keyboard-Amp/dp/B004LRP56W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469028752&sr=8-1&keywords=keyboard+amp

No other box necessary, just plug keyboard line out into amp.

Edited to add: If you just want to clearly hear all the nuances of your playing, the headphones are probably your best bet. They cut out ambient noise, sound fantastic, can be amplified for about $100 if they're not loud enough for you, and are much cheaper than the keyboard amp.

You can get a nice digital piano like the Yamaha P95 for around $500 (there are often coupons). The good news too is that I see them sell for $425 on Craigslist here locally so you're not putting much at risk.

Once you have your piano, sign up for lessons. Please, please, please be patient though. It takes a bit to get comfortable with the piano. Don't give up too soon when you're not making the progress you expect. Most of all, just enjoy it. It's a fantastic hobby but it requires a good bit of practice to improve.

Hey guys, first hangout post. I got my Microkorg 2 weeks ago and let me tell ya. as a long time guitarist it is a whoolee neww wooooorrrld! Starting Monday I'll be spending a week with my brother and a friend of ours recording a record at my buddies home in Kentucky. Should be a really cool experience and I look forward to getting the most out of my Microkorg as well as my brother's Microbrute! Please comment with any tips/tricks to try on either synth, I feel im picking it up quickly but its still a learning process. Thanks guys!

side note: anyone looking for a case for the Microkorg, I bought this one from amazon, good deal at $30 and fits it very well

I don’t have experience with the more expensive brand true isolated power supplies from brands like Voodoo Labs, T.Rex, Etc. But a lot of the people I’ve talk to and jammed with do and they seem to work just fine.

Strymon, TrueTone, MXR, and Walrus Audio also make them.

I have an inexpensive Donner DP-1 which isn’t truly isolated but it’s stable, cost effective and noise free in my setup. It’s also generally well reviewed.

It’s got seven 9v 100ma outs, a 12v out, and an 18v out all at 100ma, and one 9v 500ma out. And I’ve been using it with a few different analog pedals for about a year I think.

Is there anything you need specifically that you can’t find?

I've been using this for almost 3 years:

https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0002GL7ZO

You may want to add protective sleeves to your gear because the padding is a little lackluster (if not absent in certain spots), but the size is just a perfect compromise and the front pocket is quite useful for cables and such.

Also, I covered it with pins. Everyone loves pins, you should too.

A little pricier than $1,000 with everything and Casio may not be the most respected name in music equipment due to only fairly recently entering the pro audio market but this keyboard is pretty groovy for the price. Formal stand and Folding Z Stand

Combine with m50xs and enjoy =)

I have a keystation88. It feels pretty good, it took a bit of breaking in to stop the keys from clicking, but it feels nice. As stated its not an acoustic piano but its comparable to a cheaper electric piano with weighted keys. Its a good buy (I paid 180 for mine) and there isnt really anything else in the price point that compares. Take the money you save and invest in a sturdy table style stand (example).

I have a P45 and like it. The plastic on it is pretty sturdy so it took quite a serious whack for it to crack and displace like that. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for one with that kind of damage even assuming everything actually works. If you are really set on it, though, here's what I would do -

• Check each and every key at different velocities and loudness to make sure they all work and don't stick.
  
• Make sure the sustain pedal and the polyphony both work.
  
• Play as loud as you can for a bit (e.g., full keyboard arpeggios or block chords up and down the keyboard) with the sustain pedal down to push the speakers hard to see how they sound (i.e., aren't torn or otherwise blown).
  
• download the owners manual for it and use it to carefully check that every function works.
  
• Take a flashlight with you and use it to look between the keys to see how much crud there is (crumbs, cat hair and the like can build up around the electrical contacts under the keys causing them to stop working after a while).
  
• The missing music sheet holder is a rather big deal so check with Yamaha to see if you can get a replacement (and the cost if it is available).
  
• Check the stability of the stand (the cheapo single-X type stands like this one are typically rather wobbly, a double-X is much better).
  
• Look closely underneath to see if the plastic there is also cracked.
  
• Take a headset with a 1/4 inch adapter to make sure the sound out socket works.
  
• Make an "hmm, I don't know about this" comment every time you come across something that is off or questionable to help strengthen your bargaining position at the end.
  
  I hope this helps, good luck!

If all of you guys are wanting a power supply thats not stupid expensive https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WHLLDWO?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Check it out, currently running it on my set up, even my strats are quiet.

Price wise well it beats buying a voodoo lab power brick promising the same performance.

Cheers too all, and nice set of drives mr OP

If you played the cello for a bunch of years I'm guessing you already know how to read music and hear when you've screwed up a note, so that's gonna be a huge help.

I'm in my 30s and just started playing the piano again after a 20+ year hiatus. I took lessons for 2-3 years when I was in elementary school, and then dabbled in various instruments throughout high school, then just stopped. I decided to take up piano again like 2 months ago.

1. Roland FP-30 is great, especially for entry level.
   
   
2. Stand choice is really up to you. I don't think the KDP-70 pedal unit will work without the KSC-70 stand, though, since it attaches to the stand. If it's feasible financially and you don't need it to be portable I think the stand and pedal unit combo are a good choice. I have a cheap pedal that doesn't attach to the stand and definitely have issues with it trying to wander around my floor. The furniture-style stand and attached pedal are definitely more similar to an acoustic piano than my hacky setup. That said you can get cheaper stands and pedals that are adequate. I'd just warn you to stay away from cheap single X-stands because they're really wobbly. With your height I'd go for a Z stand or the furniture stand so you're not bashing your knees.
   
   
3. I have a teacher. I would be a hot mess of bad habits without my teacher. It's not even that expensive, as things go. Totally find yourself a teacher if it is at all humanly possible.
   
   Also, don't feel like you have to practice a million hours a day. I practice 30-60 minutes a day and am advancing much faster than I expected. I suspect it's better to practice 30 minutes a day every day than to try to practice 2 hours a day and then get overwhelmed and busy and skip days all the time.

I gig with a little more gear than you, but I fit it all on a cheap X folding stand with a metal shelf I found in the dumpster across the top for a table. The shelf is a rectangle of sheet metal bent around the edges for rigidity. The stand is a little lower than it should be for good ergonomics but its worked for me, gigging about 3-4 times a month for the last 4+ years.

I recently bought a Griffin coffin stand like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Studio-Keyboard-Laptop-Griffin/dp/B004THB8OW/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

and modified it so that the legs extend further so the table is higher. I haven't gigged with this stand yet because I threw it in the studio and started using it there. Its now too useful to leave folded up next to the door...

The other issue with the spring arm stands is that they don't hold a lot of weight. Most condenser mics are just too heavy for them, but that may just be the ones we have. The answer to shock mount is always yes, it's a worth while investment.

EDIT: AH, for the behringer weight wouldn't be an issue. As for stands, I have something like this and it does the job perfectly. This

I have a Yamaha P-45 and like it a lot. Besides price, weighted keys/general feel were my primary importance when looking and going from playing on purely acoustic pianos for 10+ years to digital out of necessity I think they feel pretty good and true to the real thing.

You can get the P-45 for $400 right now on most websites (down from the usual $450) and fits your criteria. I bought mine on B&H Photo-Video-Audio to save the ~$30 tax that would have been charged buying it in person and on most other websites. As for sustain pedal and stand, those have done me well. Full setup for ~$484 with Amazon's tax. Not bad if you ask me.

My advice: If you're not absolutely sure what you want, go to a music store and try out as many keyboards as you can until you find something you like. The Guitar Center near me had a P-45, its big brother the P-115, and a few others on display you could mess around with.

Also, if you do end up going with a digital keyboard and get it shipped to your house, make sure everything works before throwing the packaging away (there's lots of it). The first one I got had a dead key but after contacting B&H they did a good job with returning it and sending me a replacement.

I went with this one. Lots of favorable reviews.

I was using 2 One Spots and just wasn't happy with it. This takes care of most of my board and I have a One Spot powering 4 pedals. Love that this has an 18 Volt option.

My Philospher's Tone was really noisy when engaged with the original plug. It's much quieter plugged into this thing. I'm surprised, but thrilled with the results.

My favourite stands are T-stands like this: https://www.amazon.com/Stage-Heavy-Mixer-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B0010HDS2O

They're really sturdy—they don't sink as much as X-stands, if I'm putting my weight into playing, and they're easy to fold up for transport.

An X-stand is less expensive, though, so that may be the best option if price is a major factor for you.

While I totally agree. This is ultimately the same as daisy chaining and will still give you some noise. I would like to point out that it isn't "way cheaper"

Here is a one spot kit for 28 bucks https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RNB720/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467162959&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=one+spot+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=512O0YtGQRL&ref=plSrch

Here is the agptek for 36 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HH62VB6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467163002&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=agptek+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=51S%2BfzRko%2BL&ref=plSrch

For an additional 8 bucks you get the added benefit of a 12 and 18 volt power supply in a not convenient package.

I got one of them, knowing it was not isolated, to clean up my board. It is way easier to keep tidy with this then the one spot. Especially of you aren't using all of the plugs.

I submitted a ticket and heard back from Roland support, "First check the power adapter and confirm it's the Roland PSB-1U. A universal power adapter can cause a problem like this. If that doesn't help, and you're certain isn't not related to your amp, cables, or headphones you're using, then there may be a problem with it that would require service."

I found the power supply that was provided with the unit is not a Roland PSB-1U, I couldn't find that exact model but found a Roland PSB-120 and supposedly works in place of the PSB-1U,
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OAGQ80/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I'll be getting that tomorrow as well as taking this into a local certified Roland repair shop today and hopefully get some good news.

Thanks, it does sound like vertical stacking is probably the way to go. Part of the reason why I resisted that is because I like to sit when I play keys (because I use a damper pedal) and I thought a stacked layout would require me to stand to use whatever keyboard is on top. Do you have any suggestions for vertically stacked stands to check out?

Edit: I think I'm going to go with this guy https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077J8BRWV/ref=psdcmw_491024011_t2_B0002E3DNU to go with my https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07574VQPQ/ref=psdcmw_491024011_t2_B077J8BRWV

I don't personally, but those are good power supplies. The Voodoo Labs supplies are popular as well. I actually run two cheap power supplies I got on Amazon - they aren't completely isolated, but I have had 0 issues with them at all: Donner Dp-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply 10 Isolated DC Output for 9V/12V/18V Effect Pedal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_e4Ozzb3PHSFDH

Anything isolated in my opinion. You could do a 1 spot in the meantime, but I stopped using mine several years ago after I got more pedals. I have a Walrus Phoenix, but that’s totally overkill for you right now. They have a smaller version called the Aetos which is really great. It’s on the higher end of the price. MXR and T Rex have some options that are around the $99 mark. Amazon has some generic versions called Donners, which I’ve seen before and will probably work fine for a while. I guess you just take the risk as it gets older of the probably no-name transformers going out and surging your pedals; maybe not worth it then.

I do highly recommend either the MXR mini and T Rex mini are my most recommended if you can afford them.

god i was so happy when i got rid of the last A frame. just so unwieldy...
I went with shelves and i will never look back:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074MNRHX6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

also these are great, strong enough to hold a Rhodes 88

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010HDS2O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For sure, I paid roughly $600 just for my P-105. I must admit though the full stand will make your life so much better. The piano will stay stable and not move around. Definitely worth the price. I really like that sustain pedal as well. I hate the simple square one I have, so that's another plus of this bundle. The last thing would be just replacing that chair, I've never used a scissor style chair, but it can't be any more stable than a scissor stand. I'd recommend replacing that if you start really getting into piano.

I got this foldable piano bench for guitar playing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GUR8V8/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1481160384&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=piano+bench&dpPl=1&dpID=414Tc8OrOQL&ref=plSrch

It's really comfortable and if you want to, easy to fold up and put somewhere under a bed or something.

Thanks for the thorough reply!

I'll take your word about X-stands. Most people seem to agree with you. And I couldn't put up with all the wobbling.

I've decided to go with this stand:
http://www.amazon.com/Casio-CS-67-Keyboard-Stand-PX130/dp/B002KG9LX4 Mainly because I found one on Craigslist at a deep discount ($25 instead of the $90 Amazon is charging.) What do you think? Will it work for some quiet playing in my room?

I don't plan to do any gigging -- not for a long while anyway -- and I want to pay as little on the stand as possible. I am usually tight-fisted, and the $500 I just spent on the keyboard makes me cringe just a little.

I use [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016N052M6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) stand. If you have the perfect spot for the controller on the desk then keep it there, if not I'd suggest the stand.

I like it because I can adjust the height of the stand. Additionally I can move it closer/away from the TV. It allows me to move it to the perfect spot.

I play bemani in my living room, and sometimes when I have company I move the controller and the stand in order to make more room and avoid telling people to not use it as a coaster. The stand survives moving well.

Dude on a budget here:

Two PSB-120 Single Plug 9 Volt Power Supplies. One running to a daisy chain for my digital pedals. One running to a daisy chain for my analog pedals.
These bad boys pump out 2000mA each. Like an ultra beefy OneSpot

Never gotten rid of them, because I've never had an issue with noise. Splitting up two between analog and digital helps a lot. Highly recommended for guitarists who want the best daisy chaining experience

I am currently using this to store my cards (sleeved), which is perfect for wave 1 (one compartment per genre with dividers to separate each playlist, as organized in the app's Collection section):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TT3JI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I might end up getting another one for wave 2.

For the Dropmix board itself, I took the advice from several threads around here and on Discord:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GL7ZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The deck box I specified fits pretty well in the front pouch. The main compartment is a tad bigger than what the board requires, but you can probably use the extra space for more deck boxes or speakers.

I can take some pictures after work if ya'll would like!

I believe it's this: http://www.amazon.com/Stage-Rocker-Powered-Hamilton-SR610111/dp/B0087UPXH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369584018&sr=8-1&keywords=boom+stand+bass+drum

I originally bought it for my kick-drum but it works great as a desk boom-stand.

1x4 board cut to desired length, built into desired size/shape. $5-20, or possibly repurposed.
Stain, sandpaper, glue, miter box and saw, clamps. $50 mostly reusable, building tool kit.

pedalboard tape $30 enough for 10-15 pedalboards.

isolated power supply $40.

The tape is the best, I unabashedly recommend it, 3M makes good stuff. The power supply I cannot recommend for or against because I have no experience with it. I'm sure some time shopping and researching will find a $40-90 solution that is recommended.

I'd suggest making the top at least two boards 18-24" wide with a 1" gap between them. Connect them with three angled bits to a bottom piece made from two more boards. Leave room for the power supply between top and bottom. Use the gap between the boards to keep the wiring. You can use more board to build a cover. Cabinet hardware to secure top to board, but be removable. It can look as raw or polished as you want. Paint, stain, stickers, whatever.

Edit: Also, watch That Pedal Show. Depending on your time, the above materials plus the time to learn and redo mistakes can quickly add up to "It might be cheaper to buy a manufactured board".

I personally picked up a Yamaha P95 as a beginner and am fairly happy with it. As a newbie, I can't compare the action of the keys, but they feel similar to a real piano. The extra features are nice, but are never really used (metronome is probably the only thing). I did buy a midi controller so I could use software on my computer for practicing, sounds, and recording. The price you are quoted seems kind of high to me, unless you are getting the stand too. I got mine brand new for 399$ (without the stand).

I've been rocking a Gator GK-2110 Gig Bag for Micro Controllers. Holds the board well enough and some space for Ultra Pro deck boxes with Ultra Pro penny sleeved cards. The front pouch is big enough to fit an iPad as well, so everything is in one place!

Don't go with an X stand, you'll regret it, but if you can't afford the "real" stand, go with a Z stand. That's what I went with and I love it. Plus, frankly, I think it looks cooler - has sort of a stage vibe.

This is mine, but I got it bundled off craigslist for a lot less. There are similar ones online for around $40 (saw one on this thread too)

https://www.amazon.com/Stage-KS7350-Heavy-Folding-Keyboard/dp/B000LCRP14

If you are planning on getting any other pedals, consider getting a multi-supply power box, like this.

They're pretty cheap and handy.

It’s a Plixio Z style stand. The second tier is made by Knox. It was purchased separately and added on later. I’m really happy with both.

The stand and second tier were both purchased from amazon.

Stand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07574VQPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_..JMDbF2FZK1E

Second tier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077J8BRWV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o9JMDbMZSF97S

Samson C01U. I just found out Amazon has a package where it comes with headphones and a pop filter and some other stuff for 10 bucks more than the cost of the mic itself. Link

That along with this mic stand should get you going.

Edit: Btw, the pop filter I bought was almost 18 dollars, so the package was definitely worth it.

Behringer makes a version, although I doubt it's much better quality, if at all. I've had my 1Spot for years and it's never failed! It's possible you had a dud. I'd give 'em another chance!

Another option would be to get an inexpensive power supply to leave at home. I have this one on my board. It's basically a glorified daisy chain but with more voltage options. I really want a fancy isolated supply but couldn't justify the cost at the moment. This one one suits me fine for now and I could see it doing well in a at-home convenience situation.

+1 this thread, as I myself am looking to purchase a chair for home practice for awhile now.

I've been trolling Craigslist trying to find a decent, older parlor chair on the cheap but to no avail. I grew up practicing saxophone on a piano bench at home (I'm 6'5"), and I thought the piano bench would transition well into playing the cello ergonomically. I was considering a well-made piano bench like this more expensive model or the slightly cheaper one, or even this (all of which appear to be more economical 'Jansen-like' mechanism piano benches).

Anyone with thoughts on this?

I use a stand like this https://www.amazon.com/Plixio-Piano-Keyboard-Stand-Adjustable/dp/B07574VQPQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3
It is much more sturdy than an x stand. It may cost a little more but it is worth it. Trying to play fast or loud pieces on an x stand causes the piano to shake a lot.

I have one of these- works perfect. https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?hvadid=77653013976887&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=donner+pedal+power+supply&qid=1563761923&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Alternatively, here's a non-isolated brick for slightly more, but will look much much nicer on your board

Edit: forgot the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WHLLDWO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449974688&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=isolated+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=51TjSpRlIEL&ref=plSrch

I used Kaizen foam, 57mm for the inside. My setup isn't anything flashy, haven't had time or money to do much extra to it yet, but I figured you'd guys might like this case if you want an option for the 8" barrel with collapsible am brace, or setups of similar length. This case is very lightweight yet padded enough to provide decent protection for trips to the range or just having it in my trunk. It's also somewhat discrete and not tactical looking.

You have to be very careful with this route as guitar pedals use reverse polirity for their power. Rewiring the cables is a must.

I have this already https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495833819&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=donner+power+supply&psc=1 which is about the same thing.

I just don't like that the best way to connect it is a flimsy and cumbersome wall wort. I'd much rather have a hefty and universal extension cable.

I’ve had this one for my Casio for years, not sure if they make them anymore, but it’s quite sturdy. The OnStage brand seems good quality.

Stand:

Depends on whether you want to get the official stand or a generic X stand. If you were getting the DXG 660, it appears to come with a stand I think? The official stand for the P-115 will set you back about $100.
Whilst a X style stand probably costs around $25.

Stool:

Cheaper stools can be had for around $25. If you wanted something fancy like you would get with an acoustic, then probably around $60 upwards?

Pedal unit

Note that you will probably want to buy a decent sustain pedal (the one that came with my P105 was terrible). Again you can get a generic one for around $20. The official pedal unit for the P115 will set you back $75.

Yes, that would be fine. Pricey for an adapter at $30 though. For another $18 you could get one of these Joyos and ditch the One Spot. Should be much cheaper if you find a used one.

I use a keyboard stand for my controller, for a low-ish cost solution. Granted I am rather short.(5”7)

This one in particular.

Thanks for the tips! I am powering everything other than the digitech pedals with a Donner power supply (https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO).

I will try putting the NS-2 after it.

While it doesn't have a music stand with it, I would recommend this stand instead since it's built like a tank and for not much more: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016N052M6 you can also add a 2nd tier to it if you decide to expand and add another keyboard later on. It's not collapsible, but it has zero wobble or flex at all.

I'd go with a Yamaha P-95. Very nice entry digital piano with weighted keys.

Non isolated: https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO

That listing says it's isolated but I am almost certain it's not, but for 40$ you get 8 9v outputs + a 12v and 18v. 1 9v is 500ma so you could daisy chain it for another 5 100ma pedals.

Isolated:

The Donner ISO 8 cost 80-90$ but is actually isolated though it only has 8 outputs but a few are switchable from 9-12-18v, and it has 2 300ma outputs so once again you could chain up a few extra pedals.

I have the cheaper supply except it's branded as Caline, otherwise it's identical. It's worked great for a long time, even though it isn't isolated I've only had a few pedals that were noisy with it. The only downside is a lack of on/off switch, but I just unplug the power input which only takes a few seconds longer.

I know you said you don't need higher voltage outputs, but they can be nice. Eventually you may have a use for them, some pedals really do sound better at higher voltages though only a few are made for it. Also the Donner ISO 8 has 2 4-9v outputs so you can starve pedals which is an interesting feature.

I have to disagree somewhat.. in my experience the daisy chain 1Spot was really noisy and would squeal when attached to certain pedals, in addition to adding noise to the signal. I now use a cheap Donner supply which isn't isolated, but it is a big step up from the daisy chain, for not much more money.

/u/fishfryy if you can afford it, get the proper isolated ones mentioned above, that's what I'm doing next. If you need more power, then the 1Spot C12 (not a daisy chain) or Walrus Phoenix are both good options as well.

It say's it is and I haven't experienced any noise with mine, so I'd say yes.

Lets assume you can buy from Amazon.co.uk.....

Speakers - $100

Subwoofer - $100

Amplifier or this or this. - $60

Will sound much better than PC speakers.

this :/

Gotta one day invest in a better power supply and a compressor

Yeah, all of the Chinese PSU's aren't isolated but claim to be

I’m looking at buying a pedal board and amp for my acoustic guitar. The amp is strictly for home practice and not for gigs. For the pedal board I was looking at the gator aluminum board: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJYE1CW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q9j3Cb8P04M3V
For the power supply for the board I was looking at the Donner DP-1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_j.j3Cb1VH1V0Q
For the amp I was considering the Acoustic A20. I was just interested in any feedback and recommendations?

Ideas:
-Can sit on some books to raise yourself a bit higher
-Get yourself a higher bench, there's this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GUR8V8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Put books or planks underneath the bench itself, if you prefer the feel of the bench seat.
-Get something else to support the piano. Doesn't have to be the stand, can be a bookshelf or whatever works.

I have this one it works pretty well but its not isolated like it says. But it powers my pedals and there isnt any extra noise.

you can get what is considered to be an "artist bench" for about that much money; something like this. I got one with the piano I purchased and it is comfy and can adjust quite a bit

Yep! I checked my order history and it's this one, though there is more printed on mine than just a big "5": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HH62VB6/

These are not isolated, as you can see in the reviews. You can get them a lot cheaper as well.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Isolated-Output-Guitar-Effect-Pedals-Power-Supply-For-9V-12V-or-18V-Guitar-/192251199286

(Same device, just different brand. Probably made in the same factory.)

I would do more research and find out if you really need an isolated power supply. You should be fine with a one spot or cheap power supply. The amount of noise that will be reduced with an isolated power supply will not be that great. I know people on here rave about them, but I honestly don't notice a huge difference. I have a lot of pedals and have tried the Walrus Phoenix and Voodoo Lab PP+ and I returned them both. The best thing I have found for killing noise is using the Zoom MS-50G's ZNR noise canceller effect. The pedal is only $100 and it took away a lot more noise than the isolated power supplys that cost $180-$280. You also get 100+ effects. Just add an MS-50G to your board and get a cheap power supply like this: https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Isolated-Cricuit-Overcurrent-Protection/dp/B00HH62VB6/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506038976&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=guiatrt+power+supply

Because they come straight from the factory packaged as one unit.

I would take some measurements and see if you can get away with a similar wood stand from Yamaha.

It will be fine. Also, here's the same amp for 10 bucks less

I use this one which seems fine. And the humming seems to be only coming from the fuzz pedal.

My z stand is solid as a rock.

I don't need a laptop with my controller all the time and was considering using this keyboard stand

I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO?psc=1. I've only had it around 6 months, but it's been reliable and is reasonably priced. It's got 8 9v, 1 12v and 1 18v outlets. 1 of the 9v is 500ma so if you don't have any high power draw pedals you can put a daisy chain cable off it to power more than one pedal. All the other 9v are 100ma.

Is this more of something that you are looking for?

Donner Dp-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply 10 Isolated DC Output for 9V/12V/18V Effect Pedal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aH8LDb56ZTWFY I use this power supply for my board and it works wonders for its price

Sorry, misread the question. It has individual current ratings depending on which output you plug into. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WHLLDWO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Actually, the JOYO JP-02 has filters and a PCB, thus making it not just a glorified daisy chain. Each output puts out 100ma which points towards each output being isolated. It is also advertised that if one output goes out that the rest will still function, which is also something that isolated outputs do.

I was able to find a BBE Supa Charger on the amazon warehouse for $100. Maybe keep an eye out over there as well?

depending on your budget

low (~35 bucks): one spot, donner dp

medium (~90 bucks): donner iso, mxr iso brick

a bit higher (~120 bucks and up): truetone cs7, voodoo labs pp2, walrus aetos

all these should cover your current and future needs. the medium and higher priced ones are isolated and will have clean power, the one spot and cheaper donner might introduce some noise depending on what you're plugging in to

I use this stand for my P115. No problems with wobbling but it doesn't look like the L85 if that's what you're after.

I need an amp for two Gale Gold monitors speakers (6ohms nominal), bi-wireable. Something small and cheap (but not too cheap). What should I get?
Is this good enough or a waste with those speakers https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stageline-Compact-Universal-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00C436IN4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1497364403&sr=8-6&keywords=Amplifier ?

I have a big Pedaltrain board - I think it's like 32 inches long. I recently decided I needed a smaller board for when space is tight, or when I don't want to lug 50 lbs of pedals. I went with this board from Gator. I also have a Voodoo Labs power supply on the big board, but I was feeling poor when it came to the new one. I wound up going with this one, figuring I could always return it, if it was noisy. But it's been dead quiet and powers the pedals fine.

What you're looking for is called a "boost converter" in power electronic terms. If you find one, make sure it has good filtering since it's going to have a switch in it that creates noise unless it's an expensive or heavy linear converter (usually with a transformer in it).

If I was going to do this, I'd either just deal with two supplies or get something that kicks out all of the necessary voltages like this:

The problem with the multiple output voltages is that the receptacles on it look like they are the same configuration, so you could accidentally plug your 9V pedal into the 12V or 18V ones, and that could cause catastrophic damage.

Because I'm kind of an idiot, I don't like using systems/connection configurations that combine voltages unless I really need to. If I end up plugging the wrong thing into the wrong thing, things blow up. I'd just keep a separate wiring system for things with different voltages even though it's annoying so I didn't do anything stupid.
