Hey, all!

I need a good stand for my lap steel. Currently, I'm playing a Oahu Tonemaster and I just can't get comfortable playing with it on my lap for any length of time. Suggestions? I've seen some on eBay, but they're all close to $200.

Is that really what they cost?

Thanks, gang,

Mark H

This is what I use, a keyboard stand.



$60 at Amazon. It is sturdy, it folds up and it is height adjustable.
I modified the leg locking mechanism so I could mount one of Tom Bradshaw's Tab Racks to it.
I also covered a wood plank with rubber shelving to set the guitar on so it doesn't slide around. (Get it? Sliiiiide around?) Razz

Deluxe 34 stands are elegant, sturdy and really increase an instrument’s sustain.

I've literally beaten the hell out of my Deluxe 34 stand, and it works/looks as great as it did when I first got it.

After countless months and hours racked up the deluxe 34 is the best stands for steel guitar I have ever used. Full stop.

Excellent job Mark
