Subject: [DTXpress] Re: Stand For Laptop Midi Recording - Suggestions?
Hi Rob,
For a couple years now, I've used a Manhasset M48 music stand to hold
the laptop I use with my keyboard rig. I picked mine up at a local
music store for around $30 to $35. (Here's a link to the Manhasset
web page.)
http://www.manhasset-specialty.com/stands.cfm
I rotate the sheet metal music holder (correct name is "music desk", I
think) to horizontal with the lip at the back, and my laptop fits
perfectly. I had to tighten the bolt thru the pivot to accommodate
the weight of the laptop.
The friction fit between the telescoping parts that provide the height
adjustment isn't sufficient to support the weight of the computer, so
I installed a small (3/4 in. diameter) stainless steel worm-drive-type
automotive hose clamp around the upper tube right above the joint to
hold the height adjustment. The stand is surprisingly stable, even on
carpet, but it might get tippy if the laptop is one of the real heavy
ones - I think mine is 7 or 8 pounds. If you don't feel it's stable
enough, you might be able to exchange the base with one from a heavy
mic stand.
Hope this works for you - Jim
