the weight issue is a never-ending treasure trove, ain't it?
for all who have dug in their heels, closed off their minds,
and are sick and tired of screaming their opinions and having
others scream back theirs, and are just exhausted..

just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..

just got my demo Korg X50 on ebay...you know, the one
that's kind of a baby Triton with the handles on the ends
that weighs approx...9.5 lbs?

so last night i put it on my single X stand, and I was having fun previewing all the sounds and arps, and I
just kinda noticed, wow, this thing is just sitting there
rock solid, and no matter how hard i hit the keys, it
just sits there like it was nailed to the stand and the floor
not even as much motion as when i have my 30-pounders
up there.

so i'm thinking, why? maybe the heavier the keyboard,
the more strain it puts on the stand, therefore the motion
that those who like real heavy keyboards say is a problem
with lighter keyboards may not appear with their kb's,
not because they are heavier therefore more stable,
but maybe because they get themselves much heavier
and more stable kb stands at the outset?

food for thought..????
let thought be the operating word, please...think before
you start blasting away is all i am saying...
