I'm assuming that by enlarging the seat you made a new seat platform from plywood or did you just add a lot of foam to the original. Really looks compact.

BTW love the fan on the end of your Rack and Roller, you think of everythng.

I've gone through them all except Gary's. I use different configurations, so I have to have varying height adjustments. I bought the Tama Hybrid throne, which is a cross between the round and saddle. It is very comfortable after three hours. I got the backrest with it, and find it the best I've had. The seat slips off and the backrest folds down for easy transport.

Bill,

I replaced the original foam with high-density, closed-cell memory foam, which is really soft and comfortable. The seat is base is made from 3/4-inch thick plywood and I was able to use the original hardware to hold the replacement base in place. The entire job only took about two hours to complete and it looks professional.

The seat is fully adjustable for height and so is the backrest, and foot-rest.

Cheers,

Gary

I still prefer the piano bench style thrones, but that is because I use a big 76, and there are times you want to slide one way or the other (if both hands are at the top or bottom end) just a bit.

The form of the piano bench has been honed over centuries to address the needs of pianists. If you have anything larger than a 61, I still think it offers the best solution. And let us not forget, even 61 note keyboards (the organ, for instance) often come with a bench, rather than a stool.

A lot depends on your playing style... are you strictly a live arranger player, with one hand ALWAYS at the lower half chording like a madman and one hand ALWAYS at the upper soloing away, or do you play full keyboard, where your hands might occasionally be both in one end? If the former, a stool is probably OK. But unless you are prepared for an uncomfortable body position while you play both hands at the ends, a bench offers the correct shape.

I spent a lot of time looking at thrones with back support before I found a took Gary's advice on the QuikLoc seat. My back in general and especially my lower back needed good adjustable support, IMO The QuikLoc works great. (Mdl# 749).
