Dear experienced keyboard players, what all are certain safety tips that you can provide, so that we can use our keyboard for longer periods of time without any issues?

Run your keyboard through a power conditioner / surge arrestor power socket and via a socket that has RCD (residual current device) protection via a 30mA trip level.

A good quality anti static dust cover.

Ditch an X frame stand for something solid

Do not have the keyboard in direct sunlight for long periods.

Keep keyboard in as even a temperature environment as you can.

Keyboards and liquids do mot mix well

Buy the kids/grandkids their own keyboard for them to bash about on to their hearts content.

Buy a pair of good quality headphones to use to save your partner hitting you over the head with a frying pan because they are fed up of hearing your favourite song being played over and over again.

Rule #1 - NO FOOD OR DRINK NEAR THE KEYBOARD

Rule #2 - Little Fingers must wash hands

Rule #3 - Invest in a quality dustcover or place keyboard in fitted case when not in use.

Rule #4 - Make certain that keyboard stand is 100% secure.

Rule #5 - Give the cat and/or dog away to somebody who likes pet hair getting into the keys.

Rule #6 - Never drop the gear.

Rule #7 - Keep an eye on excess heat. My advice is to not fire up an electronic keyboard when the room temp is over 80 deg F unless you are in an air conditioned environment.

Rule #8 - Unless you are gigging for a living, move the gear as little as possible.
