How to Move a Keyboard Stand

A keyboard stand is one of the simplest items on this list, just a folding X-frame or Z-frame with a couple of wing nuts, but those small parts are exactly what gets lost loose in a moving box. Collapsing it and bagging the hardware is the whole job.

Pro tip: Tape the parts bag directly to the stand's leg rather than putting it in a separate box; this is the single easiest way to make sure the hardware and the stand arrive and get reassembled together.

Watch out: Never leave loose wing nuts or height-adjustment pins unbagged; these small parts are among the easiest things to lose entirely during a move, and replacements are often stand-specific.
