I am not sure about the keyboard/midi controller supports from that vendor but I saw that they do not list the NS3 Compact - it might still work though.

There is no need to drill holes. The supports then slide over the brackets and they rest on the top of your Nord. A piece of rubber protects your keyboard."

Schorsch wrote:Will it work on the Stage 3 Compact? My compact does not have the required screws, these are just available on the 88 and maybe HP76 model. Also the website of the manufacturer does not list the Compact as a compatible model, only the 88 and HP76

An adapter for a short mic beam replaces one of the two music rest supports and can be combined with some 3rd party tablet holders that fit on a mic beam: https://www.w3brr.nl/de/shop/nord-mic-s ... et-holder/. This should work for most Nords with music rest supports (Electro, Piano, Grand, Stage) - preferably if they are sitting even (not 2nd/3rd tier). Can be e.g. combined with different K&M tablet holders. Or of course other gear.

There have been mentioned other solutions before:
- different tablet arms
- a sliding frame: the K-Frame
- I remember having seen another sliding frame on the forum, but couldn't find it any more.

So there are solutions for both attaching the tablet to the instrument itself or to a keyboard stand.

As I need to use glasses, I like solutions with adaptable eye distance. But of course, there are other relevant aspects as well: Amount of wabbling when hitting the instrument, overall stability, cool look, different use of the tablet and the control knobs on the instrument etc.

This is great! Shame doesn't ship to my country

Has anyone used this and can comment?

Hi, I m Ruud Roelofsen, the designer of these products. I have used the holder for over 6 months on my Piano 5 and I do have the softcase. The holder has the strength of ABS and can hold a weight of more than 100 kgs. Happy to send you one to test...
