How to Build a Piano Stand for your Yamaha P125 - DIY easy

In today's video I build a stand for Ciara's Yamaha P125 Piano keyboard. I use 3/4" WBP plywood and mahogany in the build.
The overall height is 640mm (including feet). The width of the side boards is 295mm. Overall width of assembled stand is 1,320mm. The separation board is 160mm. It's length will be 1,320mm minus double the thickness of the material being us on the sides (IE 18mm + 18mm)
The Yamaha P125 is available here: amzn.to/3wk2Je9 or for those in Canada: amzn.to/3OEy95K

Omg, i recogn8ze that piano book. Brings me nostalgia. I used that too to learn when i was her age

[@IrishChippy]

Great to hear. I hope you are still playing. Thank you for watching

[@MarkMcCluney]

No!!!!! You're never too old! Take lessons with your daughter and have fun! I mean it!!!!

[@IrishChippy]

Hello there my old friend from the homeland. I hope you are all okay there, Mark. The family genes have talent, but I did not inherit them. Can play 'After The Gold Rush' average enough with a struggle, but it does not come naturally to me. That is why I am betting my silver on Ciara.

[@MarkMcCluney]

@@IrishChippy Well let's hear the Gold Rush then!

[@IrishChippy]

I reviewed the keyboard on my other channel (boopolo), and Ciara is playing 4 pieces. Best let her represent me. 😀

[@SelbyPav]

Brilliant video, just what I needed. You are right, the stand from the shop is very expensive. I will make one now I have found your instructions. Cheers!

[@IrishChippy]

Ah thank you. Good luck with the project

[@Soundscape123]

Firstly, many thanks for your excellent video, Pascal. You have motivated and inspired me to make a stand for my instrument which I keep upstairs. Your daughter plays very well and has a good instrument to learn on. Thank you.

[@IrishChippy]

I am glad you enjoyed and I hope you make your own stand. I have reviewed the keyboard in detail on my new channel (boopolo). Thank you for watching

[@Qwerty58911]

This is an interesting video because i want a stand like that and paint it like a piano to flex that i have a upright even tho its a digital piano

[@IrishChippy]

Great. I advise to make slightly higher so it will be easier to fit the pedal unit. I fitted the pedal unit here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6C7npmFbrymjtU Thank you for watching

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Pascal, that’s wonderful. What a great thing to make for your daughter. She’s going to create many memories with it. It’s great to see you again. I’m hoping that things in your town are starting to get back to normal. Take care.

[@IrishChippy]

Hello there Don. Glad to see you are keeping good. Things are okay here now, Hi to Pam and the dogs

[@vladgordie453]

Thank you for your video. Everything was easily explained in all the details were provided. It was such a pleasure to see the end product being used by your daughter. Bless her ❤

[@IrishChippy]

I am glad it was of help to you. I will be fitting a pedal unit next week. Thank you for watching

[@AkarshVerma94]

Hey Pascal! This is just what I needed once I saw the piano stand of Yamaha and it’s cost for that. I couldn’t believe someone had done a video for it. That looks perfect! Much much love from India!

[@IrishChippy]

Glad you like it. It is a lot better than the bought one

[@PhilippinesMyParadise]

Hello Pascal and lovely family Bravo to the lovely Ciara, very elegant indeed! She will be the life of your parties in the future, kudos to you my dear Pascal for putting her on the right track by letting her learn music and play piano… You did your magic in "Building a Piano Stand for a Yamaha" too! Good luck and wish you all the best. Be safe, stay safe, and keep us posted! Best regards/Ned👍🍀👍

[@IrishChippy]

Hello there Ned. It has been a long time. How have you been? Yes, hopefully she will go on to be able to play some tunes at parties. Next stop is to build a new piano stool/bench to match. Thank you for watching, and take care.

[@PhilippinesMyParadise]

​@@IrishChippy Good luck and best regards/Ned👍🍀👍

[@CallMeMrAnderson]

Funnily enough I had the same book as your daughter.. Little Fingers is a great book to get started on! Also, thanks kindly for the video, just purchased this keyboard and was rather unimpressed with their own stand.

[@IrishChippy]

Ciara is 8 now, and progressed to book 2 already.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? This was a nice project Pascal!! Nice design and well thought out and good explanation of why and how you were making it. Ciara did an excellent job playing the piano so that means the stand was a success!!! Take care!!!

[@IrishChippy]

Hi there Mike. Thank you for watching. It costs $170 for the original one made from chipboard. The materials for this one made from WBP ply cost only $25, and is arguably better. Take care over there, and enjoy your summer.

[@halibut1249]

Great looking piano stand, so much better looking and quality than particle board. Kira's got a good dad and on her way to learning piano. (I noticed you started your vid playing first few notes of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody--way to go!!) Thanks for vid!!

[@IrishChippy]

I must admit it is a lot better than the original one. I am fitting a three-pedal unit to it next week, and making it adjustable. I might record the process. Yes, that song is one of our favorites. Thank you for watching

[@Gonzalom312]

Thanks for the video, Pascal! Did you add the pedals unit to the stand? Is there a video? Thanks again for this video, it is super helpful!

[@saymyname3097]

Very nice project you did there Pascal. How about making a height adjustable piano stool for Ciara as she grows. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@IrishChippy]

The problem with these mechanical scissor type lifters is they are not so good. There are some good ones but they are crazy expensive. If I build an adjustable one the lifting will have to be manual blocks. Thank you for watching.

[@MannyFontes1968]

Hey Pascal, long time no see. I hope you and your family are doing well and as always, you made a nice build. I'm sure your daughter will be playing "chopsticks" in no time...Good to see you again my friend!

[@IrishChippy]

Manny. How have you been? Ciara read your comment, so I played chopsticks on youtube for her. Thank you for watching

[@jonystube]

its very good piano stand i have plan do do something ,but for korg kronos 22 88 keys titanium

[@IrishChippy]

Yes, it is. Good luck with your build, and thank you for watching

[@benshreefter5734]

hey great video, what type of fastner did you use for the stand and mounting bracket?

[@IrishChippy]

I made the bracket myself. Thank you for watching

[@MijoMontego]

I searched KZbin to see how the Yamaha version of this stand works with the P-125 with intentions of designing my own stand as I too feel the particle board is not ideal. Your video was the first one I clicked on, not even realizing you were building a custom stand as I just clicked on one of the first search results. Great video and thank you for giving me even more information that I expected to find. You mentioned you were going to leave the measurements below, but I do not see them. Is there any way you could post and/or host a copy of your plans? If not, no worries as I can go take measurements off the Yamaha version at my local music store. Thanks again!

[@IrishChippy]

Sorry, I forgot to put it in the description. Will put it up there right now. Thank you for watching

[@IrishChippy]

It is there now 🎹

[@olecram2059]

Great video, Yamaha are selling this stand for a 200usd en Chile. I WILL BUILD MY OWN STAND THENKS TO YOU.

[@IrishChippy]

Thank you. Yes, the same here. Just over 200us. Good luck with the build.

[@Sliced_Bread]

Hi, Pascal. Can I have the measurements? I'm gonna try building it as well. Thanks a lot.

[@IrishChippy]

The overall height is 640mm (including feet). The width of the side boards is 295mm. Overall width of assembled stand is 1320mm. The separation board is 160mm. Thank you for watching

[@Sliced_Bread]

​@@IrishChippy, thanks a lot you're the best!

[@nalordreyes]

[@IrishChippy]

Next stop is a piano stool/bench. Thank you for watching, Ronald.

[@IrishChippy]

Badly 😁 Thank you for watching

[@janklas7079]

I am pretty sure that if you had to buy the wood, your stand is about 5-10 times as expensive as the yamaha stand.

[@IrishChippy]

Not at all. I had the half sheet of plywood already, but the full sheet of WBP ply was only $45. It is 5 times better than the particle board on the Yamaha stand. Thank you for watching

[@thelearningmachine5740]

Easy...? With all the expensive toys you got in your shop. Anything is easy!😁

[@IrishChippy]

Haha. All this can be done with hand tools and a bit more time. I do not have any expensive toys. The table saw is 7 years old and cut tens of thousand of feet, the band saw was my father's and he bought second hand 15 years ago. The drill press was made locally. I have for 7 years.
