I just built two for myself and a friend. Dimensions I used were: Sides: 11.25 x 0.75 x 25.5 inches Backboard: 11.25 x 0.75 x 49.625 inches Back board is placed 5 inches from the top, 2.5 inches from the back. I used 1 x 12 x 96 inches (nominal) White Wood from HomeDepot. Actual dimensions work out to those above. Cost was about $60.

[@NawalSinhal]

Can you share an image of the stand? what does this "2.5 inches from the back. " mean?

[@MrMikeEdie]

Cheers for this. I built one to your measurements out of 18mm ply and its great.

[@phungdo447]

Thanks for making this video!! Gives me inspiration and guideline to make one for my Roland FP-10!

[@wanderingsandal]

Thank you for this. The stand that I built looks great!

Neat work, I was looking to make a stand for p45b. Thanks.

[@gokhanhezer8036]

good job. thanks for sharing!

[@vaggelissav9239]

omg bravo

[@rilson01]

Great work! Thanks for sharing. I'll try the same.

[@jemuzu0944]

Very Awesome bro

[@Multipleimaging]

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Think I’ll build one for my P125. 👍

[@blarius]

hi did you started your project?

[@Multipleimaging]

blariusmle Yes I have started it. I’m using 25mm bullnose MDF window sill board. Thanks again 👍

[@s13rr4buf3]

@@Multipleimaging Was the P125 stand the same dimensions as the one he made? How did yours turn out?

[@Multipleimaging]

s13rr4buf3 Hi there, I used 25mm thick mdf window board & had the rounded edge facing front. Two cut at 660mm x 290mm (for the sides), & the back board measures 1265mm x 200mm withe the rounded edge facing upwards. I screwed the side’s into the back board but set it forward slightly to allow for the Yamaha peddles to be screwed to the rear. Hope this helps and thanks again to HJK Music for posting the video.

[@MonsieurPoiro]

nice job !

[@julienb.7617]

Great video! Thanks a lot! Now I know what to do 😁

[@sonicfluxdave]

Loving the musical joke at 6.00 ;) "Paint it Black." :) I'm also about to have a go building one of these for my P-35...

[@harmdb5990]

Haha thank you!! You're the first one to notice! ;) Good luck with your own stand!

[@flitsies]

Nice job

[@spsanders69]

Nice work, Will have to do something similar for my daughter's upcoming Christmas gift of a Casio PX160! Good job!

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! Good luck, it is a lot of fun and definitely a nice gift!

[@YehPianoCovers]

epic design bro hahaha

[@dougmarkham]

Great job

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you!

[@-fiona-583]

Fantastic! Thanks. How high is the stand?

[@sed6]

Perfect, just what I was looking for, thanks!

[@alexalfidzt9632]

Thanxs

[@eddy7800]

A good idea and a great job. Thanks for the video - I will now build a stand for my daughter. I also find that 129, - € a lot of money for 3 boards - besides, the ones from Yamaha are only coated with plastic.🎹

[@libcdasmarinas8708]

will this fit in yamaha P125? Thanks! Great vid!

[@venugopalrao2338]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. So the iron clamps fits just in the middle not corners

[@petzzz5900]

Great

[@shinchikichin]

Great job man! I've watched this video a couple of times and have decided to build one for my P115 as well. Thanks for the great inspiration! Just one question. You used the hinges to firmly connect the piano to the wood right? Would you say that the hinges are a go/no-go kind of thing? Carrying my piano with me to different venues, why I am asking :)

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! The hinges are not necessary for the piano to stand and be playable. However, they do make the entire thing significantly more rigid and I would say they are definitely worth putting on there since your piano feels a lot safer. Good luck!

[@robsonreginafilho]

hahaha I will make the same! Great job, bro! Thanks for sharing! Regards from São Paulo, Brasil :D

[@robsonreginafilho]

I think it will work on p125 because p125 and p115 have the same dimensions...

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! Dimensions are at 0:27 in the video. Good luck from the Netherlands!

[@horizontbeskrajneinovacije6440]

Thanks...great video...could you put the position dimension for the hinges...? Thanks

[@ericklirios]

Hi. Would you know if the stand and pedal board for the P85 can be used for the P125?

[@mikebreler9724]

Plywood would have been a bit more work to finish the edges but would be about half the weight and stronger with less warp over time. The holes you drilled into the edges will not hold up for long with the torque of the weight if you start moving it. The composite has a tendency to crumple with edge holes under any torque during moving. You could add some strength by installing L brackets on the upper inside corners where least visible. Good video.

[@Livesinashack]

MDF is nasty! It has a horrible stench when you cut it that lasts for days.

[@ElLanzeh]

Awesome work!!!!! Haha I play paint it black too! Is it stable and firm? Doest it weight a lot? I want to build something like that to play at weddings. Greetings from Spain

[@harmdb5990]

Haha, thank you! It is very stable and firm. It is kind of heavy, but that all depends on the kind of wood you use. It is definitely usable for playing at weddings, since I use it for that purpose as well! Greetings from Holland!

[@shuvoafmc999]

Thanks man. I am following your instructions for my Yamaha 125 b. But i Couldn't find the strong big sized connectors u used.. In that case.. Will the gravity centre pressurize the middle of the piano in a bad way?? I am really anxious..U have any suggesions what could i do? And i used Plywood.. Which is not taking color smoothly like your MDF did.. Could u give me any suggesion? Third, what will be hight of the bench if i make that too, just height?? Frankly, thats a lot of questions.. And biggest post may be after a long long time u posted the video..so if u dont reply..... But if u did...that would be a blessing for me. Thanks again man, this is only video and exact video i could find about making a yamaha digital piano stand.. Which is why i could make my own stand. Love and greetings from Bangladesh.❤

[@ashleychai3243]

Hey mate, can this measurement fit my Yamaha Digital Piano P-35

[@in2gadgets]

Thanks! I have a Yamaha P-125 - would this fit mine? 🙂

[@user-ze1zv9st9x]

Not bad!

[@andreaschristodoulou4274]

Looks ok bravo !!!....BUT details are missing.....what kind of paints you where used on your mdf and how did you assembly it the stand step by step, then those two small support brackets on the sides, are enough to hold the P115 which is almost 12Kg.??

[@militaryupdates5243]

I LOVE YOU

[@vitorlm1000]

(I'm using google translator so I apologize for any mistakes) Your work was very good !! I was left with a doubt: I didn't find it at 0:30 but what is the distance between the piece of iron and the top of the side wood?

[@lyneicehaynes4922]

I had fun playing a new piano from best choices products.

[@OliverMendoza2]

What kind of screws did you use?

[@Quietly_observing_humanity]

Thx for the video, I'm about to build this soon! Did you attach screws into the bottom of your keyboard in order to secure onto the hinges? I'm thinking the keyboard might not stay in place if i just rest it on top of the hinges.

[@harmdb5990]

No problem! Yes, that is what the hinges are for. They are placed in such a way that I can screw the piano to the stand. The yamaha p115 has holes for screws in the bottom. Good luck to you!

[@danielgil9651]

Hi, sorry wich number of sandpaper do you recommend? thanks

[@HerbertDHaese]

goed gedaan

[@javierpaz9236]

What kind of paint did you use ?

[@ambuceador5458]

Pity you didn't show the metal squares screwing to the base of the piano. ¿Has it screwing holes of M5x16?

[@gerardobrand7796]

Awesome job, bro. What kind of paint did you use?

[@harmdb5990]

Thanks! I used MDF primer, which you really need because otherwise the wood will suck up all your paint. After the primer you can use regular wood paint.

[@Lyndon539]

Very good build! I am building one for my new p-45. Did you used 1" wood? because the tichness is 2.5cm in your dimensions.

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! I did just use wood with a thickness of 2.5 cm, but if you alter your dimensions slightly I think you can get away with using 1" wood. Awesome that you're building your own stand!

[@alanparsons9344]

hi, how wide are the tables in inches? thanks

[@ogutierr5]

good job. thanks for sharing. I'm doing the same using your video as tutorial. The piano rests only over the wood? it's mandatory to use the 90º squad/angle (I don't know the correct word in English). thanks

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! Yes the piano rests mainly on the wood, the metal connectors (I think you mean those) are there to attach the piano to the stand. Otherwise it would just lie on top.

[@Rus5ell]

Don't suppose if anyone knows if the bolts that are used to secure this piano (M5 x 30mm) are the same ones used in most pianos. Is it a standard size or is my piano likely to be different?

[@joannalahaye5746]

Hey, Building one myself thanks to your video. One question, what size hinges did you use to secure the piano to the stand?

[@harmdb5990]

Hello, that's awesome! The size of the hinges does not really matter, only that it has a 5mm hole that's 50mm from the side of the stand. This will fit the piano. For certainty, I would always advise measuring this yourself, though. Good luck!

[@francisco_2001]

you have voice harry styles

[@mumihp]

Awesome stand. I am doing this as I refuse to pay £100 when the wood cost about £20. Did you use MDF or Plywood. Also what does '2g' mean in the measurement? Does 2g mean 20cm? Also its been about a year since you made this, is your stand still functioning, any issues with stability? Thanks.

[@harmdb5990]

Thanks, man! I used mdf for this stand. Plywood can also be used if you want to, though. The '2g' you're referring to is in fact a 29, I think. This means 29 cm. The stand still works very well after tall this time. I've even disassembled and assembled it a few times and it still fits like a charm. Good luck with building your own stand!

[@muhammadahmed8122]

Hi there, I was also searching for how to make stand and i got to your video, can you pelase share the height, width , dimensions of the components you used ?

[@dhruvmehta3530]

Can i use this measurements for yamaha p125?

[@MartynWilliams]

Great job, my daughter has the same piano and I think you have inspired us to make one as well. Would you be willing to share the dimensions.They appear to be metric which saves me having to convert from Imperial.

[@harmdb5990]

Martyn Williams Thank you and good luck! You can see the dimensions in the first part of the video, at around 0:30. These dimensions are all in cm, so converting won't be a problem.

[@tettestagg]

Thanks for sharing! What kind of wood did you use?

[@harmdb5990]

Gladly! I used MDF wood, but you could do this with almost any kind of wood.

[@thamsushan90]

You are brilliant! Can I have the dimension in cm which you are measured for this stand ??

[@harmdb5990]

Thanks man! They are in the beginning of the video :) around 0:30

[@sebastiancienfuegos2013]

Se te agradecería mucho si pasaras un link a un documento con los planos de las medidas, no se alcanza a apreciar bien en el video.

[@niclasthoresen6815]

Hi. Do you know if this will work with the p45? 2,5mm mdf? is it the same specs as the yamaha L-85?

[@harmdb5990]

Hello, I think it will work with the yamaha p45, since Yamaha sells the same stand for that one and the p115. I would, however, only start building your stand after you've got your p45. The thickness of the mdf is 2,2 cm. I'm sorry I think I made a mistake in the video. Yes, I think this stand has about the same specs as the l-85. It is not exactly the same of course, but quite similar.

[@sanketjain9320]

Hi, I wanted to know if you had a flat top on which the piano was rested, or just the two sidebars?

[@harmdb5990]

Hello, the piano rests on just the sidebars. This fits the piano's design very well.

[@OmarLemusTactic]

I have the same question. I believe the piano weight should not be loaded on the plastic sides, but on the lower supports. How well has your stand and piano functioned?

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

I have the 3 pedal assembly piece for that piano brand new in the box... Thinking of selling my P-45 and getting the P-115 and build the stand as well out of some nice solid wood... Then attach the pedal assembly and I will have dampening as well as sustain...☮🔥

[@harmdb5990]

Karl Miller awesome idea! Let me know how it turns out!

[@davidd6218]

Need something to keep the pedal from always moving

[@blarius]

hi, want build this stand too, maybe you can remember what type of screws did you use to connect the boards? and can you remember what size of drill you have used?

[@harmdb5990]

Hey, I used leftover wood screws I still had lying around, the size of which depends on the kind of wood you are using. For pre drilling, I recommend drilling the hole a slight bit smaller than your screw so it can bite into the wood really well. Good luck with your stand! Let me know how it turns out!

[@MyViolinJourney]

Thaankyou!! I am not sure but I guess you are dutch like me ;) but really cool.. this will help me a lot ♡ Daphne

[@harmdb5990]

Thank you! You are correct, I am indeed Dutch. Good luck if you're going to build your own. Groetjes ;)

[@hr_kelita]

Que Madeira é essa?

[@Tigerbreakmonk]

Amazing job!!I have that exact same piano and I will ask someone to buid one for me (I am not handy at all), I know that you said that you didn't measure the hinges position, but can you give me that distance now that is already built? it will help me a lot. Thanks!!!

[@harmdb5990]

Cool! I hope it will turn out well! The hinge is positioned 6,3 cm from the top of the stand. This is because the sides of the piano are 6,3 cm higher positioned than the holes in which you can screw the piano. Also, there is a distance of 8 cm from the front of the stand to the hole in the hinge that fits the piano. It's pretty hard to explain without pictures, but I hope you understand! Good luck!

[@Tigerbreakmonk]

Thank you, thank you, thank you,I got it perfectly, I made some measurements myself and got the same numbers, the only one that I'm missing is the distance between the hole in the hinge on the front and the hole in the back one. Thanks again (and sorry for my crappy english)

[@Tigerbreakmonk]

Nevermind, I found out that those numbers are on your sketch, sorry for that. I got my stand today, and it turned out great!!, all thanks to you. Greetings from Argentina!!

[@yashkummar]

Is it possible to put castors on the bottom of the stand?

[@harmdb5990]

That's a good idea! Though, I believe it would not be very stable since the piano isn't that wide. You wouldn't want your piano falling over. I doubt you'll even need castors though, since the piano is fairly light and can be easily detached from the stand.

[@yashkummar]

Hi, the reason I asked was I have a Studio Logic sl 990 / 88 keyboard which is 25kgs. I am trying to put a shelf under the Ikea desk. But due to the weight I have fiddle a lot with drilling and bolting. The next option was to have stand placed lower under the table with wheels so I can pull out when I need to play the keyboard. What do you think?

[@harmdb5990]

Yeah, in that case I think it could work. Again, make sure that your wheels construction is very stable. The piano is probably heavier than the stand so the entire construction can become very prone to falling over if you don't watch out. Good luck! Let me know if you succeed!
