Angled Keyboard Stand

[MrEntity]

I am looking to purchase a new stand for my keyboard/synth. For live music/band practice I play standing up. However, every keyboard stand I can find holds the keyboard in a horizontal position or (if its on a tier) angled with the keys pointing down. I find this uncomfortable and unnatural.

I would like to purchase a stand which holds the keyboard such that the back of the keyboard is lower than the front of the keys. I think this would be much more condusive to a natural hand position.
Does anyone know of such a stand? I haven't had much luck searching.

That's a very interesting set up.....Can you maybe wedge something in the front of the keyboard? (Worried about it sliding off backwards or something though! It is maybe more your seating (or standing) height?

I think you're referring to something like Janne Warman, keyboardplayer in Children of Bodom? Ronny Tegner from Pagan's Mind also uses that kind of set up.

I think most keyboard stand producers have several options available, but here's some from Quiklok:

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. The angle is a bit excessive, but that's the idea.

The only things on that Quicklok page that are angled seem to be tiers - and that seems to be how it is for most manufacturers. I'm starting to think it might be easiest to just use a second tier as the primary holder.

Dunno how he can play like that !
I was taught that elbows should be at same height as keys, so your forearms are level.
I play standing up now, so rather than adjust the seat to satisfy the above rule, I adjust the keyboard height, but the rule still applies, and works for me. So the "main" keyboard is horizontal and on a level with my elbows when standing, and then "upper" keyboard is slightly angled down for the same reason.
All just personal preference, though, I guess...
