[CAUT] Newton Hunt's piano bench

[Stan Kroeker]

Am I the only pianist who often rests the left foot slightly under the  
bench while playing?  ie:  within the 'footprint' of the bench legs.   
As un-steal-able as the Newton Cube appears to be, this would preclude  
such posture.

Regards,

Stan Kroeker, RPT
