I have an older Yamaha P140 keyboard but lost the music rest. Anyone know where to buy that part, or if its compatible with music rests from newer keyboards that I can buy?
Thanks,
Jeff

Here's one on ebay, you can google the part# to find other places that sell it.

Hi Mark, sorry that link expired and I lost the part number. Any way you could post it again here? Still looking for this!

Try a glass shop.
If you still have the broken piece take it with you and ask them to cut a piece of plexiglass to match it.
I did that exact thing a while ago when one of the doors on my popcorn machine broke. I removed the hinges and latch from the plexiglass and gave the glass shop the broken pieces. They cut a new piece exactly to match what was broken and even drilled the holes for the hinges and such. After I put everything back together it was just like new again.
I don't remember how much they charged me but it wasn't hugely expensive. Maybe $40 or $50.

I've looked for Yamaha DP music rests before. They're all $100-200, no matter how old the DP...I think Yamaha just doesn't make them to sell them (probably all service/warranty parts). I've always just gone the ghetto route and fashioned a music rest out of cardboard or something. The benefit is you can make it as large as you want! ![[Linked Image]](https://imgur.com/oewzQPJ.jpg)

I tried the cardboard route for a few years. It got ratty pretty quickly, and I kept having to remake it. I finally bought Manhasset 5102 (it's just the music rest part of their large stand) for about $30, and had no issues ever since. I mounted it onto a monitor arm attached to my piano stand. ![[Linked Image]](https://forum.pianoworld.com//gallery/42/full/15508.jpg)

I made a similar one out of MDF ( the wood like substance that's one step up from cardboard) and have it fixed behind my piano. The only main advantage to cardboard is that it takes paint well.
I'd be a far better pianist if I spent the time I'm on this forum playing my piano instead.
