Yamaha P45 Stand - DIY L-85
What are good alternatives to the L85 Stand for the Yamaha P45?
Yamaha P-45 Stand? L85?
I've been using the LP5A pedals and while they're do the job, they have really cheap build, all plastic, creaky, feel like too much resistance. Not worth the cost in my opinion. One problem for me was since i have long legs and large feet, and they're part of the stand, i couldn't find comfortable leg position to use them - i eventually bought yamaha fc3a sustain pedal instead and never looked back.

I hope this helps someone out! We have a Yamaha P45 using one of the budget X stands. My daughters couldn't fully push in their chairs with the X stand, and Yamaha (at least in Australia) doesn't seem to be selling the L-85 stand anymore. I’ve seen several people have created DIY versions of the stand but there wasn’t any clear instructions, so I've written up all the dimensions and created a 3D-printable bracket for securing the piano to the stand. It's super stable, and the kids love the modified height.

You don't strictly need the 3D-printed parts—you could just fashion something out of pre-made metal brackets if you prefer. The design just uses three pieces of pre-dimensioned lumber that you can have cut at the home center if you don't have a saw at home.
