bench repair

[Tom Cole]

I have a customer who discarded the standard Kawai bench (oh, no, no, he
is using it as a coffee table!) when he got his KG-2E and bought a task
chair - no arms but has wheels and various adjustments, including up and
down, and an adjustable back. When tuning, I can wheel along the
hardwood floor - much nicer than bench shifting.

For the player, much more comfortable than even an artist bench and many
are cheaper than any piano bench.
