Nord Electro 3 Stand Retrofit

Post by Twototangotones »

Hi Guys,

I'm looking ot retrofit a Nord Keyboard Stand to my NE3 SW73.

Could anyone please provide accurate measurements for the mounting screw locations on the bottom of the keyboard such that I can drill and tap for them?

I have attached a diagram that hopefully helps - I've made the assumption (and from what I've seen) is that there is one centre mounting point for the hand tension knob for the stays - please correct me if I'm wrong.

My main concern is ensuring that I place them the correct distance apart such that there is the correct amount of tension on the stabilising rods horizontally.

Regards,

Tones

Hi Tones,
Have you bought the stand yet? I'm asking because if you haven't yet, it might become clearer.
I've attached photos of my stand, on my Stage Classic 73.
As I hope you can see, the two mounting plates for the stand legs are attached with existing screws, and the plates have several holes, presumably to align with different models.
The measurement between the centres of the two outermost screws is 990mm and the central brace anchor is 120mm from the rearward row of existing screws.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if I can show you anything else to clarify it.
Cheers,
David

Thanks David, so 2x(A + C) = 990mm and E*(other direction) is 120mm. Awesome. Thanks again.
