Yamaha good.
Great item. Sturdy and functional
Yamaha YMR-03 Music Rest
Fits my CP-33 perfectly. Four stars for $. Five stars for functionality. Expensive piece of molded plastic. Metal tabs that connect stand to keyboard are a plus. This will last a lifetime if not abused. Would buy again if needed.
Do not buy this for a CK-88
This piece of plastic is Yamaha's specified music stand for the CK-88 keyboard, but do not buy it for this purpose. It fits, technically, meaning the metal pins are correctly spaced to match the holes on the back of the CK-88, but that's about it. It must pair better, surely, with the CP series stage pianos that also use this model.
There is no grip at all between the stand attachment pegs and the mating holes on the keyboard, so it falls out at the slightest touch. There are large metal tabs on the stand that seem like they might do something important with a different keyboard, but not on the CK-88. There are large plastic grooves on the back of the CK-88 that look like they might do something important with a different music stand, but not the YMR-03.
It was so flimsy when I tested it at home that it never made it to a gig, and it's never going back on.
Inept, backwards design.
Con: The ridges on the bottom are reversed. Therefore most anything slick that you put on this will slide off, especially single sheets. Inept engineering or production flaw?
Pros: Looks good. Very wide.
Pro or con?: Uses light gravity to stay on. If using in live setting, will vibrations push it out? Don't know.
I'm going to keep this, only because of the width. I will rig up something to make a tab at the bottom to keep stuff from sliding off.
Now that I think about it, I will also call a sales engineer and ask if I got an early "flawed" model, and if Yamaha has fixed the problem. If so, I'll return it.
Flimsy design
I bought this for my Yamaha CK88 and halfway through my first set it fell off along with my very expensive iPad Pro which is now trash. I should charge Yamaha for a new iPad Pro. Terrible design!!
