Wow what a great idea - I never thought my little thread would stimulate so much conversation! I find it humorous (maybe sad) that the makers of such a fine keyboard would send it out with such a cheap, almost useless music stand. I used to own a 2000 and it had a 100% metal stand that was all welded together. If my cheap fix to the cheap plastic part doesn't hold together, I had planned to find a metal working shop or a crafts person who could remanufacture the plastic part in metal and weld it to the wire rack. I really do like the cardboard idea for an extended stand and I'll probably do something similar. Thanks!
