Our Exclusive Hydraulic Height Adjustable Frames

Our height system is unlike anything else currently available.  It involves the use of a hydraulic system which enables one person to easily adjust the height of the keyboard throughout a range of seven inches.  Simply turn one single crank located on the bass end of the instrument for a nearly effortless height adjustment.  The hand crank folds away under the bar rail when not in use.  As you will notice in the pictures below, the system is totally integrated into the frame and hidden from view.  This enables us to use our current all-wooden frame design without many modifications.  Most other height adjustable instruments have metal frames which lose the beauty of  all wooden construction.
