Roland owners

[Guest]

Hi,</P>


I have a Roland AT-80S. Does other Roland owners have the problem of the music stand being to high? </P>


I am6'1" and admittedly have poor posture,and I get back aches after playingfor about a 1/2 hour.</P>


Any advice?</P>

Hal,</p>

As you will recall, I have a Roland AT-90. The music stand is fine for me. However, since the AT-90 has a full pedalboard, the bench is probably a little higher. My bench also has adjustable glides/feet--they can be screwed in and out to adjust the bench height about 1 inch to 1.5 inches. You may be able to get some thin strips of wood to set your bench on. This may help a little.
</p>

Also, my previous organ was a Yamaha 415 spinet that had three manuals. Its music stand was higher and further from my eyes than the Roland is. You can see a picture of a 415 at some Yamaha Electones. (The close-up photos are of my organ, but the other two are not.) It is near the bottom of the page. The D-85 is the same instrument only with a different cabinet style

I hope that you are enjoying the Roland.</p>

Re: Roland owners



I wouldn't advocate raising the bench unless you're sure that it won't affect your pedalling. The bench on the 90 is higher, but the whole console is also higher, so I think that pretty much cancels things out.</P>


I think you may have anwered your own question, Hal. Posture could have a lot to do with it. My 80 owners have never mentioned it to me and I guess I'm used to playing organs of all shapes and sizes, so I've never even thought about it.</P>
