This extra-long duet bench is the currently the widest adjustable piano bench on the market. At 43" wide, this bench will accommodate 4-hands and possibly 6-hands piano.
Hidrau Model, or HM, has been manufacturing many of the finest piano benches in Europe for over 40 years. Now available in the U.S.A., these contemporary style benches are quickly becoming the most sought after for their purposeful and clean design, their sturdy construction, and their luxurious comfort.
With this design, height adjustments are quick and easy by controlling a lever. There are no knobs that stick out, no complex mechanism to service, no linkage that causes the bench to wobble or rock over time. This bench is also longer (43"") than standard artists benches (easily room for two). The height travels over 5" when most good artist benches have a range of 3". The top features two layers of padding. The base is a high density flat layer with a medium density wedge shape (thicker in the back and thinner at the front) above it. The second layer makes the bench softer and more comfortable, and encourages better posture for sitting at the piano. They are perfect for performance halls, for teaching studios (where student after student needs a different height), and they are also great for European uprights like Grotrian, Seiler, Schimmel, Steingraeber & Söhne, and C. Bechstein that tend to have a higher keyboard height.
