This just may be the greatest musician's chair ever! A cellist designed this innovative chair especially for musicians, and it works GREAT for harpists! The padded seat can be set flat, or at a slight forward angle. The padded back gives you enough support to help you sit correctly, making it very comfortable for those long gigs or practice sessions. At just under 19 lbs, this chair is sturdy and lightweight. And on top of all that, this chair folds up neatly and easily for convenient transport and storage! (See photo below.)
You can easily adjust the height of the chair, so it will fit both children and adults equally well. Buttons on the legs adjust the leg height in 1" increments, so you can adjust the chair to suit you comfortably, whether you prefer a flat seat or a slight downward slope. In its lowest position, the front edge of the seat is 15" high; at its highest position, the front edge of the seat is 20" high. (See photo on left.)
This well-designed, comfortable, sturdy, easy-to-use, adjustable folding chair will be a great addition to your music room or studio.

This chair has been the best for me because it folds, has adjustable height and a back. I did make it a little more special by taking a pattern from a dinning room chair slip cover, measured it to make it a custom fit and made covers from different fabrics for different occasions. Velvets, brocades for the holidays. Ultrasuede, baroque tapestry and summer florals. They also could be monogramed. I added side and back pockets for easy, handy storage. These can be closed with zippers or velcro.
A wonderful Harp Chair

I was using an office chair which swiveled at my concert grand harp. It was causing a lot of stress on my hip joints. I was searching for a good stable, adjustable chair which I could also use on gigs. The really expensive chairs are nice, but not transportable and just way too expensive. I thought I'd give this a try. It is just wonderful to have the same height at the harp out on a gig that you have at home, and to have such a comfortable chair to sit in for long practice spells. It really helps to have the right chair. I can sit up straight and be at the perfect height for playing. The only thing difficult about it is there is no carry bag for it. It would be nice to have a backpack bag to carry it in. I may end up making something, as I cannot live without this chair being with me on gigs.
a great invention!

Having this chair ends all the mystery about what size chair you will find upon arriving at a gig, or even a concert situation. No more body contortions to accomodate the too high chair you are given! It folds and adjusts easily, and looks very professional. And, when I'm not traveling with it, I use it in my teaching studio, where it adjusts to fit the needs of students and harps of all sizes....
Great gig seating!

At home, I use an expensive ergonomic harp chair which is too big and heavy to take to gigs. So for a long time I used a folding bench on jobs, which didn't offer any back support and which had laughably little comfort. I've been taking this chair with me to frequent gigs for about a month now and I love it! It's comfortable, gives my back a little support when I need it, doesn't "cut in" to the backs of my thighs during those long jobs, looks nice, and adjusts in height easily and securely. It is equally comfortable for use with pedal harp or lever harp. The padding on the cushion doesn't compress down to nothing like on cheap folding benches; it continues to provide very effective support. Yes, this chair is a bit heavier than a folding bench, but it's worth it. The construction feels sturdy and reliable, which lighter chairs and benches often don't. Whereas when I was using a folding bench on jobs, I would sorely miss my cushy ergonomic bench back home, this chair is the perfect fit while on the road. I would heartily recommend this chair for gigging harpists on the go who need something eminently portable and yet comfortable.
