Steve,

I use my AN1x along with an Electro and have two volume pedals spaced
about two feet apart. Therefore, I must use a stool. I bought an
inexpensive wooden stool with a rectangular 9" x 18" seat for about
US$40 at Meijers (discount store). I cut a few inches off each leg and
added swivel glider hardware to them.

This setup, with the Electro low (about 34 inches) and the AN1x high
(about 44 inches at front, tilted), provides a very natural organ
playing position on both keyboards when sitting and also allows for a
comfortable standing position for both keyboards. I am 6' 5", so one
would want to adjust these stool and stand heights to fit.

Hope this helps,

Doug
