We purchased a "Cello Chair" from Wenger for our son when he was studying violoncello. When he graduated from college and stopped playing, I took it back and take it to every tuning appointment. It's comfortable, tall, has a short seat and a straight back and is padded. Gives me a chance to rest my back occasionally. It also saves repairs on benches such as you experienced. Since I'm horizontally challenged it has saved me more than one repair. Merry Christmas!

I was tuning a piano once, sitting on the bench. I gave a sideways movement, and the whole bench collapsed, spilling me on the floor. I felt bad, until I checked it out. The woman told me her Brother-in law had fixed it with a hot glue gun. Luckily with being an ex sailor, I know how to fall, so didn't hurt myself. It must have looked really funny.

Lance, I once had to take an upright action in to the shop to glue all the jack flanges that someone had tried to glue in place, in the piano, with a hot glue gun. No fun. Debbie L. Just curious to know if anyone has ever used a hot glue gun( the kind with the little glue sticks ) for any application in piano repair.
