Here's what I ended up with keyboard-wise...


Yep, that's a hand crafted wooden stand for the Yamaha cp33 and Roland pcr800 :)
With a music stand, (sorta crappy) speakers,
computer, monitor, qwerty keyboard and mouse.


Computer programming mode!!  Yeah, that's my first love.


Sheet music stand and monitor slide left and right so both can center stage.
