The Studio Has a New Piano Bench

Posted by MaryO on

I have to admit that I’m kind of a piano bench hoarder.  I save them from every piano and electric keyboard I’ve ever owned.

I was playing the grand piano the other day and noticed that the music rack was further away than it used to be.  I don’t think that the piano grew any so I must have shrunk.

I have an adjustable piano bench but it’s brown from an old baby grand I once had.  It’s also for only one person to play solo so I bought a new adjustable duet bench in black.

I was surprised to see that amazon has a lot of piano benches for sale.  I don’t know why I was surprised since they seem to have everything else.

I chose this one since the reviews were good and the price seemed reasonable:

Adjustable Height Piano Bench Stool PU Leather Cushion Wooden Keyboard Seat with Music Storage (Black)

  • Comfortable Padded Cushion – Thickened cushion is made of scratch-resistant PU leather with 6 decorative buttons and filled with high-resilience sponge, which is soft, but not easy to deform. Even if you sit on it for a long time practicing the piano, you won’t feel tired. The surface is also water-resistant and easy to clean.
  • Height Adjustable – This piano seat comes with dual side knobs that adjust the bench height between 19.29″/49cm-23.23″/59cm to accommodate a wide range of heights for both adults and children.
  • Music Storage Compartment – Built-in storage compartment beneath the seat provides roomy space for your sheet music and accessories, folding lip support makes it convenient to open.
  • Sturdy Wooden Frame – The frame of this piano stool is made of solid wood, which is sturdy enough to hold up to 330lbs/150kg. Anti-slip rubber pads at bottom of legs protect your floor from being scratched and add extra stability. Classic black color suitable for various decorations.
  • Easy Assemble – No other drills are needed to install this piano bench with storage. All you need to install are the 4 legs. In addition to piano stool, it can also be used as keyboard stool, vanity stool, etc.

Hopefully, it is truly easy to assemble and we can get the legs installed before students return from winter break!

 

Duet Artist Piano Bench

I am considering getting this split bench for the O’Connor Music Studio since we play lots of duets here.

The current bench that came with the piano is one of those that opens up and has some storage but is not adjustable at all.  This creates a problem for some of the older students and we have to move the music rack quite far forward so they can see properly.  An adjustable bench would help them, too.

There may be a quiz on this option at your next lesson – give it some thought!
