The price is not bad. I've seen those German "Beethoven Chairs"</DIV> <DIV>which go for $500, but they are screw type adjusting seats. I</DIV> <DIV>believe the chair listed below is similar to a chair that Yamaha used</DIV> <DIV>to sell. I'm not sure if the Yamaha chair is still available. Schaff</DIV> <DIV>used to sell them. I'm sure they were more costly than the CPS</DIV> <DIV>chair, though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.cpsimports.com/Adjustable_Piano_Chair.html">http://www.cpsimports.com/Adjustable_Piano_Chair.html</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They also have adjustable benches.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://www.cpsimports.com/Our_Products.html">http://www.cpsimports.com/Our_Products.html</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I believe all these products are made in China. I got a brochure from them a few years ago at</DIV> <DIV>one of the conventions. I cannot attest to the durability. We do have one Chinese padded </DIV> <DIV>adjustable bench in a practice room,that seems to be holding up pretty well. It is about</DIV> <DIV>3 or 4 years old, I think.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mostly we're buying Jansen's though. Got our first "Petit Artist Bench" a month ago for</DIV> <DIV>piano major's practice room. We'll see how it hold's up. It costs about $100 less</DIV> <DIV>than the Artist Bench. it is quite heavy compared to the Chinese bench. We'll see.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Richard Adkins</DIV> <DIV>Coe College Music Dept.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
