Subject: [disklavier] Furniture suggestions?

 

I thought this group might be the right place to ask this question.

We've got our DC3M4 in a dedicated room (which also serves as my wife's
"doll room", as she is an avid doll collector) and it looks very elegant
(and sounds amazing, but that's besides the point).  Now, however, I'm faced
with the reality that I really want a full fledged computer in that room as
well (it arrives on Monday).  The problem is finding furniture that is both
functional and not too unattractive.  I'm trying hard not to turn it into
something that looks like a studio, or an office.

I was thinking of a nice black file cabinet with the monitor and keyboard on
top.  I could place this on a slight angle next to the piano.  This would
also give some storage for sheet music.  Not so sure how well this will look
though.

Thoughts?  Experience?  Anyone have the same dilemma?

Thanks in advance.
-Kevin

Greetings Kevin,

Another possibility is using a wireless MIDI connection at the piano and a notebook computer or put the desktop computer wherever makes sense. The notebook is best because it can be anywhere in the room or closed up and or taken completely out of the room when not actually using it.

Greetings Kevin,

to find just the right monitor aesthetically speaking you may hove to look at some old stuff or accept something that is not entirely right but is the right color. something that can extend the range of possibilities is a device that converts various video formats to VGA. don't know if they still make them but i have an old thing by viewsonic, i think, that does this. i also have a nice black monitor that goes with it. it is stain black, not glossy. krylon makes spray paint specifically to stick to plastic. you can take the housing apart spray it and put it back if black gloss is really important to you.

Hi kevin, 
Getting in on this late, but a thought is to not 
buy a computer monitor, rather an HD TV monitor that has computer inputs, 
composit video, HDMI, etc...etc... .
I have a 32" 720d in the living room which has 2 
composit, 2 rgb component, 2 "S"video, as well as HDMI. All selectable with the 
remote.
Just my $0.02 worth.
BTW.... just to keep it on topic... It's located in 
the room next to the room with the Yamaha :-)
Kindest regards
Frank Evans
