[CAUT] Newton Hunt's piano bench

[Mccoy, Alan]

I haven't made any, but if I were I would change the dimensions. There are lots of students around here who like higher benches and I have ordered several Jansen benches with the 2" longer legs. So I'd probably go with some at 19-20-21 and some at 18-19-20 as well as the original.

Subject: [CAUT] Newton Hunt's piano bench

Has anyone built or have one of Newton Hunt's piano benches in use?

His clever idea was a wooden cube with  dimensions of 17" x 18" x 19" allowing three possible bench heights.

Before I have any made, I'm just curious how the idea stands up in actual use.

Thanks all,
