Schaff/American Piano Supply

[Farrell]

I don't know about the Artist Taboret from Schaff, but I bought a real nice
leather one from Poeschl Manufacturing in Wisconsin (I think). At the time I
researched cost and found it to be among the lowest, and it is as good or
nicer than any other I have seen.
