August Hoffman
on: December 04, 2021, 09:35:14 PM
My piano at home (August Hoffman) is ca 67,5 cm up to the keys. It feels extremely low. Another piano I play is ca 68 cm up to the keys.
Why would anyone want to play a too low piano?
I have mentioned it to people but they just tell me to get a lower chair/stool. My piano stool is ca 43 cm high. How low should a piano stool be.
Do I need to get a new piano? Did a buy a model for  very short people?

I asked my teacher about this but he only said that I sit too high. He could not tell much about pianos other than that they can feel very different.
