What Kind of comfortable chairs are you using on stage?...

Computer style?...folding?....bench?...
or what?

Drafting stool with back. Doubles as a dolly sometimes! I've had it about 20 years but it's about gone now. I have another in the garage waiting to be put into service.

Who sits & who stands and plays here and Why/

Just recovered and repadded the seat after 10 years of use. My butt no longer has any natural padding (it shifted to my belly), so I changed the seat padding to 4-inch thick foam.

The thing I love about this seat is it puts you at near standing level, it has both a foot and back rest that are adjustable, and it folds flat for transporting in the van. And, obviously, I sit while performing.

Cheers,

Gary

Looks to me like travlin' easy is sittin' easy. Who makes that chair, Gary?

Glenn

I have to stand...I have never chose to sit..unless I was playing a piano or organ...

Gotta agree Don....a nice computer chair
5 wheels w/ hydraulics works best for me also.

Glen,

It's made by Quick Lock. You'll find the specs HERE

ROTFLMAO

You thnk that seat is uncomfortable? In the 80s I competed in a triathlon called the Liberty to Liberty. It started with a swim in the Hudson off Liberty State Park ( tetanus shots were required). Then we had a police escort to Sayreville NJ, then the just under 100 mile bike race across the state of NJ into Phily where you then ran 5 miles. Took me 8 hours just for the bike segment. Below is a photo of they type seat on sat on. The Roc n Soc is like an easy chair compared to the bike seat

For those of us with 76's or larger, I have always felt disappointed with the choice in benches (not stools, which allow no side to side movement). By and large, all I have seen is X-type benches, which by their very nature get unstable as you slide down to the extremes (and they are never as wide as a piano or organ bench).

Has anyone seen a lightweight folding piano bench durable enough for day to day gigging? Something with a leg at each corner, rather than the unstable X-type...

I just use whatever chair they have available at the gig.. and I bring one of these with me everywhere just in case to boost up the padding or metal chair..works great!
