Hi,
I play a Yamaha P80 stage piano at home set up on a quik lok stand,which brings the height of the top of the keys to 31" measured from the floor.

31" is not an ideal piano height I dont think,but the next adjustment down on my quik lok stand drops to 26" which would make it too low.

I need a piano stool set at 24" high to get a good playing position.I've been down the local music shop and all they have is an adjustable stool that only gets me 22" high.

I would love to know if I can get a good stirdy stool at 24" high?
What heights do you have if you use a simerler setup.

I have an Ultra KT216 which is a great bench and adjusts 22-24 inches. I bought it at samedaymusic.com

Make sure you get the correct height - I developed chronic tennis elbow because I had too low a bench!!

Get yourself a padded Drum Throne. These are infinitely adjustable and with the motorcycle seat are extremely comfortable. Pay extra and get it double-braced. I use this one:

I use the "throne" with the back rest support, but with the round seat ... I'm going to have to look into that "sumo" seat for my "sumo" butt... ...
I like the throne for its 'swivel' capability ..
However, the piano bench in Graham's link looks pretty comfy too ...

best money I've spent on gear!!

Your Butt will thank you Big Time

The trouble with an X type bench( Ihave one!) is that you better sit right in the middle, and not lean out to get something, or you will tip it! I did, and went into the wall ! I had to set it to the tallest it would go so I could see my screen on the PSR-2000 keyboard. I am very short ( 5 ft 4) and have bi-focals to boot!
If I had it to do over, I would use a stool with a back rest like Gary Diamond uses.

Actually, my entire studio redsign started with trying to find a more comfortable way to sit at my keyboards and computers and desks, all three of which are different heights. The solution was to buy a "drafting table chair" at Staples. These can be adjusted up and down way more than most computer chairs or piano benches.

I have the heavy duty X seat. I can adjust my X brace two different ways. You should be able to get a height somewhere between 31 and 26" I do.
