Which Keyboard Accessory Should You Own?
A keyboard stand, keyboard bag, and headphones are something that you need to consider when you buy a new digital piano keyboard.
An electronic
keyboard stand gives you the convenience of "height adjustment", which is important to maintain the
right posture while playing.
A
keyboard bag, on the other hand
offers protection to your music keyboard from scratches and bumps. It also helps to easily carry around your portable keyboard, if needed.
Headphone is something which can be bought depending on what time of the day or night you are going to practice. If you think you would be disturbing some people around you, it is best to go in for headphones as your keyboard accessory. Adults, usually find it very helpful!
Power Adapter as a keyboard accessory is an absolute must, though you get one along with your new keyboard. But if you have misplaced one or if your current one is faulty, get it changed immediately. You will need a good power adapter to safely switch on your keyboard instrument.
As your keyboard skills become better, you will need some more of these, like the
pedals which give you more control over your keyboard playing.
Finally, when you become an accomplished player, eventually you will end up owning almost all of these accessories. I am sure by then you will be getting paid for your skills and you would not mind making those investments.
Be Careful or You will Misplace them!
Of all things, it is the easiest to misplace your keyboard accessory!
Yes, that is a fact!
Maybe not at home, but definitely if you are playing on-stage, or playing in your school or with your friends!
The moment you take your digital piano keyboard and accessories out of your house, you risk misplacing the accessories.
That is why, it is a good practice to make a checklist of all the accessories you are carrying along with you, when you go out to perform and make sure that you come back with all of them.
You need to be
extra careful after your first few performances as, in the excitement and euphoria, you will surely leave some of the accessories behind and come back. So be sure to
carry a checklist!
Ok, let us now go through each of these accessories. Even if you may not need them now, it is always good to know all the relevant things about your instrument.
Keyboard Stands
You need a stand so that you can adjust the height of your keyboard.
It is more comfortable to play by keeping your Keyboard on a stand rather than use a table or any other support. It readily collapses into a
flat pack which can be carried around easily.
If you are going to play on stage, you do not have a choice except to have one!

Depending on your model, you will need to go in for a soft case or a hard case as your keyboard accessory. All the soft cases normally have strong shoulder belts, zips and pockets to keep your power adapters, pedals, etc. so it is better to have a keyboard bag.

Power Adapters
This is what drives your Instrument. Normally, your keyboard requires a
9v or 12V DC which is provided by the power adapter/transformer.
Though a higher voltage adapter may seem to work with a lower voltage instrument, it is better to use the exact voltage adapter mentioned in your keyboard manual. This will ensure a longer life for your instrument.
