Keys not level

[stevearch1234]

The Kronos is built so that if the unit sits on a flat level surface the keys pitch away from a player by a large amount. To level the keyboard, I have 2 regulation hockey pucks under the back (1 " thick, game used, Philadelphia Flyers). I thought the stand had to be out of whack, but no - I put a level on it. The stand top is level - the keys are pitched down and away. This is odd to me, maybe some folks requested it. I can rip a wedge of wood, but it would need to be adhered to the stand to assure it wouldn't work its way loose. Is there any sort of pre-made accessory to the On-Stage Z stand for this? Or something from Korg? The onstage top strut is not angle adjustable, it snaps into the level position. I guess I could shove a wedge into it to hold it a "plus-hockey-puck" position. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hyNNksuyD8k9bDpg8

Do whatever you need to do to make things right for you. On one of my stands I’ve taped pieces of firm foam to the arms of the stand to achieve the correct angle.

thats not standard. Simply, keys should lay flat.

I am guessing you have the K2. Tell us more, how many keys, how old, the history, etc etc etc

I have the same Z stand.

On my workstation table the keys on my Kronos 2 73 are level with the table surface. If there is any downward slant to the back it is very small and has no effect on playability.

As a side note, on any decently regulated grand piano, the keys should be horizontal (at level) not at rest but when fully depressed. This is because ideally the hammer shank of the played key should be as parallel as possible with the strings for optimal sound quality, energy transfer, etc.

This is about what happens on my K2 88, so maybe Korg thought it would be a good idea to offer this feature/angle as it is standard on grand pianos.

I agree with KK.
All the hammer action keyboards I have ever owned have had a slight downward slant toward the back, including the Kronos. They are designed to be level when fully depressed. My acoustic grand piano is the same.
I do have a slight chock under the rear of my Kronos though, mainly for the screen angle, but it's really up to your personal preference how how you angle it.
