Which piano bench/throne do you like the best?

I know this has been brought up before but I can't find the thread. My On Stage bench is wearing out...time to find something new.

Been thinking of something like this with backrest.

Thoughts?

Rog Lee

PS, One month into gigs with PA 4X...very pleased.

So much better and much more comfortable then an old fashioned piano or organ bench

Tx Backus,

I did an advanced search and found some threads.

This is helpful though.

Tx again

This is the best one ever, and I have had many. The back slips right off, making it easy to transport.

Been doing some research and this one seems to come out on top.

Question: How about portability? Easy to break down to carry? I use a rock n roller cart and would like to transport it that way.

Also it doesn't look like you can get the pneumatic throne with the backrest?

I've been using the Quick Loc D749 for a decade, built like a tank, folds flat, easy to transport. I eventually modified the seat, making it 3 inches wider and longer, and adding two more inches of padding. Made a huge difference in comfort, especially for those 4 to 5 hour jobs.

I have used one of these for 30 years. Even can double as a dolly!
Mine doesn't have arms though.

Interesting.

But not the easiest to transport I would guess?

It actually weighs less than one of the thrones I tried once. And it rolls. I have a Ford Expedition and plenty of room.

The cushion looks like a good idea. I found cheaper cushions on Amazon and eBay. I don't take my heavy throne to gigs either, but if I need to, I take this light stool. I got it for $8.95 just a few years ago, but now $13 at Walmart

Another interesting idea.

I've tried chairs where I gig. Problem is, they are all way too low...even at the lowest setting on my keyboard stand.

I would usually need to be boosted two to three inches when I use one of the chairs at a gig. Maybe this cushion would do that?

I see the Tama HT750 is pneumatic. I wonder how it compares to the HT741?

I chose not to get the pneumatic, as I have had seals leak on some chairs I've had. Since this is of top quality, it probably would stand up, but it is so fast and simple to spin the collar to adjust height, I am glad I don't have to worry about anything going wrong. The cowhide seat is very tough, and has no scuffs in three years.

The comfort level, especially with the backrest, allowed me to play three hour gigs last Sat. and Sun. very comfortably.

Tx Bernie.

Might be the way to go...HT741
