innovative MOTM mounting
2000-05-03 by David Bivins
Hello again, I've been rearranging the studio now that I have a second SKB pop-up case (and they won't both fit on the desk), and I came up with a great way to "mount" the cases. I have an Ultimate A-frame which I'm sure most of you are familiar with. It's a keyboard stand with "A" sides and metal tubes that run between the sides. Each tube can hold a number of arms on which your keyboards rest. Each arm has a little post at the end, perpendicular to the arm, so that the front edge of your keyboard won't slide off the stand. The SKB cases have grooves in the PVC. The arms fit into these grooves quite well, and once the cases are fit correctly, the posts catch the edge firmly and they're very stable. I'll post a photo when I get some film (sorry Paul--I didn't stop and get any on the way home from work like I said I would). I have the cases sloped forward so that when I open them and pop up the frame, the modules are right in my face. It's really pretty cool. You'll see soon enough. And I was able to fit two on one tier (really the only way I could have done it), butted right up beside each other so there's not too much space to bridge with cables. Maybe this will help those with limited space but an empty tier... David. http://www.mp3.com/baldbastard http://www.totaltrash.com
