Hey all! First post here and super excited to join the SGF community!
I'm the proud new owner of a late 90's Melobar CC-8 and wondered if anyone could recommend a good stand solution? This is my first outing in the world of lap steel, but I already hunch I'm going to need something to rest it on "console-style" due to my volume and wah pedal trickery. I found some old posts about the Deluxe 34, but it appears that the gentleman who was making them may have retired from building.
Ideally I'd like something that has a little chrome involved, or at least has some degree of mojo, as opposed to a generic keyboard stand.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! |

| Hey Jim! Thanks for link! $325 is a little outside my budget range at the moment, I was hoping for something in the sub $200 territory, but it's good to know they're still being made and the wait isn't long. Maybe someone here on SGF has a spare used one they're looking to part with? |

I used flat keyboard stand for years. Cost about $35

| I stopped playing with a stand and went back to lap because I was using pedals! Unless you're going to use a stand across your lap, I'm interested in your pedal technique, very hard for me to get much control while standing. |

| Hey Matt. I'm actually looking for solutions to play while seated with the lap steel out in front of me like a keyboard/synth. I've been doing some pseduo-Speedy West tricks using my volume pedal and wah pedal. The guitar rocks around a little more on my lap then I would like, hence the search for a stand. At this point, it's looking like a Gator Frameworks Table Stand may be the ticket. |
