best bench or chair

[drazh]

hi
I removed the back of an office chair  and sat backward. amazing it is very comfortable. it is the best piano chair  i have ever had.

I too use an office chair!
The problem with piano benches is that for me they are all much too high!
I need the chair to be 15 inches maximum off of the ground.
Only an office chair will go that low!
I didn't even remove the back!

the problem is normally they have upward angle which is not ok. the best bench should be downward angle.
with removing the  back and sitting backward they have optimal angle

My bench opens so I can put music in there.

As well as uuh...  Other valuables...

I have and use the same bench I had 30 years ago, it's all wood, built for two pianists and is non adjustable. I'll keep that around, as I have two pianos. I want an adjustable bench though. I'd love an adjustable bench with a low back on it, that would be great if not likely to find. Still looking !

Ergonomically, we should all be playing standing up. Sitting for long hours is not good for your back, or your heart, or, really, anything. Hemingway and other writers used standing desks for this reason. Unfortunately, they don't make acoustic pianos with long legs and long pedal lyres. So we continue to sit...and sit...and sit...
