Benches designed for electric keyboards and digital grand pianos are available in an assortment of designs and price ranges. Selecting the correct bench for your needs is best determined by the type of keyboard you own and what will be the normal usage of the bench. Evaluation your demands and the abilities of the models offered for sale will insure a wise purchase.
Owners of small keyboard units mounted on tubular stands often demand a keyboard bench that is readily transportable and is small and compact. Various small inexpensive benches are designed for these type models but seldom meet the demands of quality ergonomic seating. Larger digital keyboard models, including grand piano types usually include a small compact piano bench. These benches normal meet the minimum standards music professionals need for optimum back support.
Regardless of the specific model keyboard you own the requirements of good seating remain the same since musician injuries can affect all repetitive tasks, the ergonomic demands being the same on any type keyboard. Lower torso support and proper height of the bench are paramount to good health and musical practice. Using small, inferior keyboard benches can lead to poor musician’s health and worse, debilitating injury.
The most popular keyboard bench that ranks high among educators and teacher for promoting good posture is the matching padded piano bench, ideal for all types of keyboards, whether small or large. The bench is large enough to serve as a stationery model but can be easily transported and disassembled if necessary. While the bench may be slightly more in price than smaller models, the benefits will outweigh any extra expenses.
