I have some artist benches here that I have modified with 2" blocks of wood to raise them even higher than they normally go, and 2 for which I bought Jansen's 2" longer legs. I you are sitting back far enough even a person with long legs can get them under the keyboard because of the angle. Personally I always want my elbows to be higher than the keyboard. My question has always been how on earth did Glen Gould play sitting so low? =20 dave =20 David M.

Each time I service the pianos (every two weeks), the adjustable benches are cranked all the way to the maximum height position (the top of the seat is maybe an inch below the bottom of the keybed). I crank the seat all the way down so my legs fit under the keybed so I can tune the darn thing - then two weeks later, the benches are always all the way up again. =20 Why does a piano player do this? Where do they put their legs? Maybe the players are really small people who sit Indian-style - but then how do they use the pedals? =20 What gives? =20 Terry Farrell =20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
