thanks a lot, this build works well, although instead of putting the synths directly onto the bracket, i placed a shelf under it and had the synths balancing on that (most of my synths don't have keyboards)
Hello, what a great idea! I was already thinking of this but after seeing it I might actually do it:) Can I ask you something? It looks as if the brackets carrying the synths are slightly bend to the side (5:53min). Is that so or does it just seem that way? Did you bend the brackets or can you just push them to the side? The reason why I ask is that I wonder how stable the brackets are when you decide to move or remove the synths temporarily. Is there a risk of having them fall down or will the brackets remain firm into the rails? I read about a similair setup as yours and that person mentioned that the stability is only there when there is the full weight of the synth onto the brackets. I just don't want the risk of having the brackets fall down each time I decide to move or change something, possible damaging gear below. Anyhow, thanks so much for your idea and suggestions!
I´ve never had them falling down but it is true (they are firm with the synth on it, once you take the synth off they have a bit of play sideways I suppouse it depends where you buy them from it might be thinner ones i´m not sure. I have to apply quiet a bit of force (upwards)to take the brakets off if I want to move them. The best that you can do is go to your local hadware shop and try the bracket on the rail so you can see how hard they go in or out.
You didn't show how to assemble? after you cut the long bracket and use the small piece that you put the rubber ,do you throw the long piece away in the garbage? and use another bracket that has the back and not cut?
Good idea this but its strength depends on how well you fix the strips to your wall. Ideally long scews into timber studding but if it is a masonary wall it will be harder to drill and fix with plugs. Use as many screws as possble to ensure that the majority will be solid as you are bound to find a few will not work well.
Thanks a lot for your comment, you are right, use as many screws as you can, the legs come with holes already and I put a screw in each hole (a total of 9 screws per leg) my walls are masonary, making the stand very secure. I have at the moment 5 keyboards on it (old keyboards made of metal heavy as hell) and it´s rock solid.
The actual "eye" is 20mm the thread is 25mm long, the "eye" with the rubber cover on is about 30mm so it should be OK, don't worry if the thread is too long you can always cut it with a saw, thanks very much for your comment.

These ones in particular are from Leroy Merlin, I hope this help.
ok good to know, thx for the info!
I have the same but I put the verical rails down to the floor to be extra safe.

Hi, yes cut the bracket and the long piece goes in the rubbish, you have to do that every time you need a “small piece with the rubber around”
cool
Thanks

Quite inventive of you! What exactly is the rubber strip called that you use to cover the cut-off metal pieces? Thanks for sharing- new subscriber!

What size eye bolt did you use? I'm wondering if 30mm is too big
Great vid btw helped me a lot
