Q: 2. Hi: I have a Kusrzweil PC88MX with an orginal cracked factory music rack. Will this music rack retrofit backwards to the PC88 mounting holes or will the holes in this plastic rack match the attachment holes in the original mounting bracket? Thank you so much.

A: The Kurzweil PC88MX is an awesome keyboard with legendary sounds released nearly 20 years ago, and currently discontinued. Because of this, parts for it are unavailable. The KMR2 is designed to work specifically with the Forte and Artis stage pianos and we are unable to advise on the integration of these two products. It is highly unlikely they will work together given their different designs.
