Do Nords have screw-holes underneath for locking straps?

Post by peanutismint »

I'm looking at a keyboard stand that has 'Locking Straps' for screwing into the underside of a keyboard for extra security I guess...

I'm away from my Electro 5 at the moment but wondering whether they have screw mount holes underneath for attaching these locking straps??

Which Electro 5 do you have? If its the HP then the official Stand EX is compatible which means there will be a few bolt holes on the bottom of the boards... meant for the fitting of the said stand.

I dont see any reason why you couldnt use one of them to secure the straps.

Other boards i'm not sure what is underneath

Nord Piano 5 73
Yamaha C6 Grand

I don't recall my 5 having any holes. I think it's too thin of a board to really make good use of straps like that.

I'd recommend using Velcro if you need extra stability of your keyboard on the stand.

Also, those straps look like just strips of rubber/plastic? I don't know how much difference would they make and furthermore it's a X-stand, which tends to be quite wobbly anyway.
Better go with a sturdier, more stable stand which will not need any gimmick
