Abstract: A supporting stand for a keyboard of a musical instrument has two supporting members, two legs provided in each of the supporting members, and two shanks mounted internally in the supporting members. Multiple channels are defined in the supporting members and a positioning member engaged with the channels are provided on the shanks so that the shanks and the legs can independently be adjusted within a proper angle and be fastened via the positioning member engaged with the channel. Furthermore, the shanks can be folded towards the legs thereby decreasing the volume of the present invention for storage.

Abstract: A keyboard instrument support has a driving device to control upward and downward movement of inner tubes relative to the outer tubes and a ratchet device to retain the elevation of the inner tubes. The ratchet device includes a ratchet alternatively rotated by the driving device and a leverage to abut a ratchet tooth. Thus, after the inner tubes are elevated by the driving device, the abutment of the leverage to the ratchet retains the elevation of the inner tubes.
