Introduction
Most digital pianos nowadays come with a matching stand, but for certain pianos (especially the budget portable pianos), you have to buy it separately.
While its possible to keep an electronic keyboard on any flat surface, like a table…or a keyboard x-stand; its not an elegant option for a nice portable piano.
Besides, a digital piano can be heavy, especially if it has hammer action keys and these stands may not be suitable for your digital piano.
Also, if your digital piano is an expensive one, these makeshift stands will not be able to match its good looks. After all, it really deserves a fitting stand!
How about getting a wooden digital piano stand for your piano?
For a reasonable amount you can get yourself a piano stand that will not only look stylish but will comfortably hold your digital piano. You can choose a wooden stand that will complement the brand you own; you can go in for Yamaha, Casio, Roland, or Korg wooden stands. When you sit down to play your piano, people will think that you are playing an acoustic piano.
