Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy a slide out musical keyboard shelf - like the ones they do fo computer keyboards but bigger?

I want one so I can shift the keyboard stand from in front of my desk and give me more legroom, plus slide it under when not using it?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Oktav Sessiondesk Keyboard Drawer from Thomann music, is this what you need?

• High-quality pull-outs with medium position
• For keyboards up to size: 1500 x 300 x 130 mm
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 1596 x 250 x 150 mm
• Weight: approx. 10 kg

"keyboard slides" and a piece of lumber seem to be a common solution for random desks. The metal hooks are like 20$ or so. A lot of the pre-made versions are for specific desks.

 

Here is a set of draw slides in different sizes : https://www.amazon.ca/FRMSAET-Heavy-Thickness-Steel-Construction/dp/B07FL5LNGJ?th=1

I made my own sliding shelf out of oak flooring, a sheet of glass and some glue. Here is a quick video of mine:

 

Seems the premade is really expensive and the home made option may be a little difficult as my keyboard is an 88 key Fatar Studiologic, which is actually longer than my desk?

 

What kind of desk do you have? Can you post the dimensions. Also the dimensions and weight of the Fatar?
Maybe buy a bigger desk?

That first one looks pretty great, but again i have the problem that my keyboard is wider than my desk.
I'll up some pictures and measurements in the next few days, but I'm thinking i might need to make something custom.
Perhaps something that "cradles" the keyboard underneath and behind so it doesn't need to be wider?
Was just hoping there might be a premade solution already out there?

 

If your keyboard is longer than your desk then you cannot by logic have it slide underneath. You could build a shelf that is anchored inside or outside of the desk walls (or both). I have a slide in drawer but I never really slide it underneath. I wouldn't miss it if it didn't.

 

I made a new desk for SL88 Studio keyboard!

You can, of course, disassemble your desk and put a larger thicker wooden top on it.
Radical is of course the desk in the middle saw through and then with a 2ten plate Ihn widen.

 

Another solution is putting the keyboard ON the desk.
And putting the mouse/keyboard under desk or on side.

Take a look here :

buy a SereneLife Pyle PKST38 Heavy Duty Folding Keyboard Stand , adjust it to your needs put the keyboard on it and slide it under your desk like a drawer, it has glides on the bottom, but you should be able to easily replace then with locking caster wheels if you want. This is the easiest,safest and sturdiest solution if you can't afford a custom made desk.The Plus is you will have the sturdy foldable keyboard stand to use anywhere.
