Greg & Ron,

 

That sounds like the bench she described. The crank(s) sounds like a good
option. My son (turns 8 today) has a new Jansen artist bench I can
experiment with. 

 

Thanks,

Is that forward pitch intentional, or just the result of 
putting weight on a poorly engineered cantilever?

Yes-intentional.  S'posed to make you sit nice and straight, dontcha know.
