$25 Collapsable lap steel stand-up stand

Post by William Craven »

It's been discussed before on here but it really works quite nicely on a stage. The rubber handgrips hold any lap steel in place. My pedalboard is also very accessible. It makes quite a conversation piece between songs as well.

Goodwill Invacare Walker= $10
XL extension legs on ebay= $14
Black spray paint= $1

Cool! I saw Big Jim Murphy doing that when he was playing with Hank III years ago.

The best thing about stealing someone's walker is that you don't have to worry about them running after you... :whoa:

mount steel on mic stand

Post by Paul Shambroom »

Here's my ultralight solution- using a Traveler Acoustic Electric set up as lap steel, and a modified auxiliary gooseneck clamp-on-on holder, with lightweight tent guy-line as stabilizers. The same stand holds my vocal mic on the boom. The Traveler has a push-fit brass 1/4-20 socket to mount the movable control arm. I had to replace it with a more sturdy screw-in bushing (I used a brass tripod adapter.) This might work with other lightweight steels if you're willing to install the socket.
