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. 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? What gives?
