I bought the 30-inch version of this bench, with the leather ergo seat, based mostly on this video. It's been nearly a year. The quality of the bench, and of the service from Piano Works, have lived up to all of the expectations set here. I'm so grateful for the information you shared. Thank you.
Great info on ergonomic design. I propped the back legs up about a half inch on my bench to get the idea how it feels. Nice improvement immediately in posture. Mine was always migrating from ok to bad while playing. Update: just ordered the 30" ergo leather version. Very nice phone sales. Delivered in 3 days. Love it, nothing to add, sooo impressed! Once you start using it, you can see it’s worth every penny. Rock solid construction..period. Again, thanks to yourself and Josh for the reviews.
It's hard for me to maintain proper posture when sitting at the piano for protracted periods of time. The wedge shape design in the Hidrau helps and I can't imagine using anything else at this time.
Thank you for the video David. Was great to see the footprint and size when compared to your other bench (which is similar to the one I have). Will definitely keep the bench in mind if I feel the need to upgrade. So far mine has worked well, but it may need replaced if more of my family begins to play and want an easier way to adjust the bench height.
The footprints and weight are very similar. The Hidrau bench is a bit wider than the Jansen Petite artist bench. Jansen is 13x21" while the Hidrau is 13x26". I wouldn't mind if the Hidrau bench was a bit narrower like the Jansen. I have a slender bottom. 🙂
They both feel totally different. I like the Hidrau because it promotes good posture. I get less fatigued sitting for long durations on it compared to regular benches.
@@Comfort_One_Another Customer Service is excellent. Just got off the phone with them and ordered the 26 ergo leather. I just bought the Jensen petite 3 weeks ago and it is hurting my lower back. Now I must sell it at a loss :-( Hopefully, this bench will help.
I'm interested in buying a new piano bench to replace my 40€ off brand one, for my new Schimmel C121 coming soon. I'm really unsure which one to buy, what are the advantages of a capitone seat instead of regular one?
You're a very brave man for exposing your sock-clad feet on the internet... Thank you. 🤤😁
Can you please share the company contact info please? I live in Georgia. Thanks.
Hi, there is a link in the description. Pianoworks.
Piano Works is an excellent company. How long do you sit your Hidrau in your practice sessions?
Thanks a lot! Nice company and great presentation!

Wonderful! It's a great bench. I'm still using mine daily.

Thanks for the very useful video! What sliders do you use to help the benches move smoothly on your carpet?
Hi, they are just standard 3 1/2" carpet sliders I bought on Amazon.

Can a child under 100 lbs easily lower the seat.
I need at lest 80 lbs on mine to lower it. 70 won't do it, but 80 will. I tested it with weights just now.
Which one is more comfortable on the butt? the Hidrau or the Jensen Petite?
They both feel totally different. I like the Hidrau because it promotes good posture. I get less fatigued sitting for long durations on it compared to regular benches.
I do not see the 26 inch ergo top and leather one. Did you call them?
@@dbrown2380 I did call them. Their customer service was excellent.

@@dbrown2380 It will help. Just remember, the ergo top doesn't solve bad posture, it just encourages you (by the angle) to have the proper posture.

Hi, I'm not sure what a captione seat is.
