Kawai ES8 / KwikLoc Monolith / KwikLoc M2
Not 'geeky' but quite simple. Keyboard: Kawai ES8. Keyboard stand: QuickLoc Monolith. Keyboard stand upper tier: Quiklok M2. The keyboard shelf on upper tier was a plywood off-cut. Lip added at the front edge to prevent things slipping forward whilst tilted. https://i.ibb.co/VHZ7rq0/1.jpg https://i....

Re: Is this forum for the community?
Thanks Sw1tch. Previous to today I'd made a few posts but non appeared due to moderation and imagined that if this was happening to every post it would be to the detriment of a community spirit. I for one am still a big believer in forums being the hard guts of a solid on-line community. Social medi...

Re: New to piano playing - need an advice for 2 handed playing practise
What I do is attempt it a few times and then stop the lesson, then look down and keeping both hands on the keyboard concentrate on one hand playing the intended notes in any nonsensical order, changing it, making patterns and sounds with it for 5 minutes or so. Then switch to the other hand and do t...

Re: Pending sign up- questions please
I use a 13in Laptop and it works like a peach. My Kawai ES8 is on a QuikLok Monolith stand with the additional QuikLok M2 second tier support arms. I then constructed a wooden shelf almost the width of the keyboard that has a bottom lip edge to support things whist the shelf is tilted forwards. I ca...

Re: New to piano playing - need an advice for 2 handed playing practise
Hi Westy :D As you go through Rookie camp there will be lessons unlocked. From what I've read you need to get reasonably high percentages in rookie camp, say roughly 86% plus to unlock these lessons. They appear in a separate new tab at the header and you'll know when they're unlocked as you'll rece...

Re: My starter setup
Them be a lot of keys in total Westman! Nice area though.
I went straight to 88 keys too so that I was future proofed. I got the Kawai ES8.
How do you get on with that keyboard stand and your knees?

Is this forum for the community?
Could someone in admin please tell me if this forum is going to be for customer feedback and problem solving only? Whilst social media networks are in vogue and no one could deny are extremely popular, I personally find those formats rather impersonal. The fast moving nature of them means that what ...
