| I want to do a Junior Brownish steel and guitar thang and need to figure out how to stand the steel. I want to stand behind it guitar around my neck. Anybody tried this or have ideas? |

I'd think one of Mark Roeder's stands would be perfect for this application.

I have two stands that I love...one is just a heavy duty Key Board stand, and the other is a MSA stand I think it is. I wind up using the KB stand more because it is so easy to set up. With an A/B box to switch between the guitar & lap steel, it is quick and easy. Also...check this old thread...

I made my own (really had a friend do it for me) but it was also based on the ironing board style keyboard stand. Easy to move and fits in our stand case.

| I saw a guy actually use an ironing board and thought it was pretty hilarious. |

I'm using one of Mark's stands slanted forward at a 25 degree angle. Works perfectly.
I'd say that he could go with an even steeper angle if desired... but 25 is plenty imho -- the audience can clearly see what's going on, and the guitar isn't so vertical as to require technique adjustments... |

| The Roeder stands look awesome but if you can't afford that then Terry's suggestion of a keyboard stand is great. I got a $50 stand from Amazon that's sturdy and light. I never play on my lap now! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EXIMFI |

When Cody mentioned "Junior Brownish" i assumed he meant playing standing with the steel sloped toward the crowd... hence my suggestion. Otherwise I"m sure a flat keyboard stand, etc, would make do.
Cody? |
