Hi, Jim.

The answer to you question is, of course, that frequently more than one
person in the family plays the piano, and often one height does not suit
all, especially when it comes to reaching the pedals. That's what made
those great adjustable stools of yesteryear so practical. Maybe someone
could invent a small upholstered bench top with about a four inch drop
that could be fastened to seats of those old stools. Then you'd have a
nifty-looking seat, combined with a reliable adjusting mechanism. :)
