3. Attaching Locking Straps

The stand includes two locking straps to secure your instrument. These straps feature pre-drilled holes for attachment.

  1. Position Straps: Place your keyboard or piano on the stand. Position the locking straps over the bottom of your instrument, aligning the holes on the straps with the pre-drilled holes on the stand's top support bars.
  2. Fasten Securely: Use appropriate fasteners (not included, typically screws that come with your keyboard or can be purchased separately) to securely attach the straps to both the stand and your instrument. This prevents accidental shifting or falling.

  • Foot Adjustment: The rotatable feet can be adjusted to compensate for uneven floor surfaces, ensuring the stand remains level and stable.
  • Instrument Protection: The non-slip rubber caps on the top bars prevent your instrument from sliding and protect its finish from scratches.
