Hey Andy,

Welcome to the Synth Zone Technics Discussion Board.

Your solution to the KN5000 music stand's plastic part continually popping off is simply FANTASTIC!

After reading your suggestion, I immediately went to my local electronics parts store and picked up the self locking ties which you call "Zip Strips".

The black colored ties I purchased are called "cable ties" (self locking) and are Caltronics brand manufactered by Dennison. I drilled a pair of holes as you suggested but mine were 9/64" diameter. I then drilled another pair of 9/64" diameter holes on the plastic tray just inside where it clips onto the wire rack but this time on the "other" surface of the plastic rack. This provides extra added security to keep the rack from moving whatsoever.

Thanks again for sharing your "great" solution to what was such an annoying problem. Thanks to you, I will no longer have to drag a heavy full sized self contained music stand to my gigs.
