Special Clavinova/Piano Seat Needed for Young Children

[r_d_wilson_47714]

I am looking for a special Clavinova/piano bench for young children whose feet do not reach the floor (or pedals) for my 5-year old grandson, who LOVES my CVP-207. I have three other grandchildren younger than him who would LOVE to have a special bench just for them like the one shown at:

The plans sold on this page are for a one-piece piano bench and adjustable footrest. No assembled devices like this are sold at this web site, only the plans.

THIS IS A SPECIAL ONE-PIECE SEAT WITH AN ADJUSTABLE FOOT REST INCLUDED AND A BACK REST ALSO.

Please let me know of any other web sites with benches similar to this one. It would be great to buy an assembled one somewhere, but I can have one made where I live if needed.

Thanks - Richard:cool:

Hi!

To be honest, I don't entirely get the point...

Children are fidgety restless critters. They like to wave every part of the body around all the time. So this footrest thing to me seems restricting for them. If I was that size (again), I would like to be able to move my legs about in the air. (In fact as an adult, if I'm sitting high, I tend to do it, and like it. Even at the office in my regular office chair, sometimes, I will lift my legs and wave them about, it makes me feel good). What you want to do with children learning piano is to make sure they have fun. Not tie them to a rack. Also the backrest is not only restricting, but supposedly it encourages bad posture at the keyboard which doesn't help them learn.

Looks more like an adjustable high chair than a piano stool. When I first read the post, I thought it was a contraption which extended to the piano pedals, so the child could use the pedals by stepping on the "footrest". That I think would have been useful however.

Hi Richard


I have just come back off of a cruise and they have the very seats you discribe as child seats in the dinning hall. The company is based in Norway a bit for from the US.
