Nice chairā¦my practice studio is also my home office so I bought a keyboard bench to sit on when playing. I didnāt want another big chair besides my work chair. Itās nice because I can put the bench close to my computer desk. I put one monitor on a swing arm so I can pull it out and look at tabs or use Tux Guitar or an online drum machine as I practice.

Good rƩflexion. Thanks for sharing.
Howās the rail position for your foot.?

@Libitina
The footrest rail is height adjustable as is the overall seat height, so the whole thing is very adaptable.

Iād like to offer an alternative idea for other people looking for something to sit on while playing. I use this stool that I got when I started working from home along with a sit-stand desk. The stool varies in height from very low, being easily able to get both feet down to full height when your legs either dangle or you can stand sort sat against the edge for a little support. The other key point is that it is deliberately unstable, in that it rocks by up to 10 degrees in any direction so you have to use a little bit of core stability with it.
With regards to posture I would argue that while some seats are inherently bad, thereās no chair in the world that can make you sit with good posture, itās always possible to slouch. It requires conscious effort over time to fix bad posture (and itās why I bought a sit-stand desk).

This stool is quite interestingā¦can you share the manufacturer/model? Thanks!
It was from an office supplier in the UK called GoStand who specialise in standing desks. They arenāt cheap. I took a punt on them as I ran out of patience waiting for Ikea to get stock of the desk I wanted. The desk is solid, with metal inserts in the screw holes so it can be dismantled and re-assembled if required (whereas a lot of flat pack furniture is designed to be assembled once). Iāve had the stool for 2 years now, use it every day, itās still as good as new and I feel it encourages good posture more than any chair Iāve ever tried although Iām sure itās still possible to slouch on!
Thanks! I acquired a standing desk during Covid and use it frequently for guitar practice. I also have a good, adjustable office chair, but it has arms!
Iāve asked GoStand about shipping to the U.S. Iām afraid it might cost as much as the stool, Even if I canāt get this exact one, youāve given me good info regarding what to look for and what might be available.

Nice chair but whatās all that stuff at the end of your post?
The difficult bit might be the return policy if you donāt like it but hopefully that wonāt be needed if you do go ahead with it
Do you mean the links? If you link back to a topic from another topic you get the little chain link icon.
I have an armless adjustable drafting chair that I use when practicing, but I donāt like using it for recording because it can make noise if I move too much. If Iām recording and Iām seated I like using a solid stool with no moving parts.
