Donny,

I know your an Android user.

I have this free app. Give it a try, it will help you with setting up your keyboard.

Donny, not only do I carry a rubber door stop in my bag, but my most important accessory is my 7-inch Turbo fan. It's the very first thing to come off the cart and get plugged in and last thing that's unplugged. Never leave home without it. In fact, it never goes into the house. I have a pair of them - just in case. BTW: you tipped me off about the fan 15 years ago, Donny.

I use the door stops in a different way! I have then at the back of my keyboard stand! They are fastened to the stand and let my keyboard (psr s710) tilt up so I can see the screen better! Just and Idea, hope it helps somebody that does not have a Tyros with the screen that tilts!

Hi Gary Yes I will not perform without my trusty fan at mi side..I now use a O2 Cool 8" fan....I like it because it fold up and fits in my wire case, & can be used with AC adapter or batteries also 2 speeds, tilting angles also.

How different we can be... smile

Guys, complain about more gear to carry, and then you carry every gadget possible.. crazy

I have never used a fan on a job..I don't like any fan blowing on me...results vary, but maybe those stiff neck and sore backs can be traced to the fan.. wink
I worked with a female that always used a fan, no matter how ugly it looked, clamped where ever it could be mounted smirk

Door stop.....yeah right..You know they sell adjustable oblong feet for those cheap, and cheap looking X stands.. grin

One more advantage for Apex stands, and V-stands... cool

No hauling padded chairs, fans, Laptop and ipad stands,, tip jars, cup holders,music readers with pedals to change pages, confused

Just my 46 pound keyboard, my 18 pound V-stand, and my preferred 70 pound Cube amp grin
