Those plastic Yammy music racks suk! I want something more substantial, see-thru and NOT a stand-alone music stand. Has anyone tried other solutions? Where might I search for a plexiglass fabricator or similar? I'm sure there are others who cringe at the thought of having to use that flimsy PSR rack one more time. Help!

I designed mine using the above instructions found in the link that will take you to the PSR site. I purchased the a thin sheet of plexiglass from Home Depot for about $10 to serve as the rack. Using the wood support on back is an important piece to keep it stable. The photos are from my old PSR 3000.

Is the wood support piece able to come off? If not, it would be hard put the keyboard in a case.

No the rebuilt music rack will not fit in a case it's too large ( at least the one I built was). But let me clarify, the entire music rack is removable just like the stock music holder. The wood piece is fastened to the plexiglass set up that's installed over the original music with 3 wood screws ( see bottom photo). I also glued a piece of felt over the base of the wood support that leans against the keyboard to prevent scratching of the keyboard.

Thanks, Stephen; definitely food for thought. @Montunoman, maybe the use of a hinge on the wood piece would make it lie flat for storage. Just thinking...

Nice setup. Just to clarify. The wood support does not attach to the keyboard, rather just rests on the back of the keyboard for support. Thus once the complete music rack is removed, the keyboard will fit into a case. Correct?

Stephen, did you have to drill holes and cut the plexiglass? If so, how? I've always had trouble working with plexiglass. I believe you can sand the edges with sandpaper to remove the sharpness and get more of a beveled edge.

For the record, the music rack design for some of Yamaha's arrangers were just plain awful, but we already knew that.

Cass, I have very limited carpentry skills but I did have to use a sabre saw to cut the wood support, it works very well. No book ever fell off the rack again.

Larry, that is correct the wood support does not attach to the keyboard, it just rests on the back of the keyboard for support and once it is removed the keyboard fits in the case. I also had Home Depot cut the plexiglass for me, it was a small sheet to begin with, but it still needed some cutting. The photos really make the edges look at lot sharper than they were and the actual plexiglass thickness was thinner than how it appears in the photo.
