I bought this to have a consistent perch for solo acoustic singer gigs rather than relying on whatever stool the venue may or may-not have — but have ended up using it at home and for recording.
It’s stable, silent, solid and safe. It won’t make any noise in your recordings or live mics and you can set both the height and footrest to give you the perfect ‘lean whilst standing’ as well as seat.
I play large-bodied jumbo and baritone acoustic guitars almost in the classical position, neck up but with a strap and the guitar’s bottom bout almost between my thighs. This stool is the best thing I’ve ever found for doing this comfortable and I have played two-and-a-bit hours straight through for three nights in a row using it and everything felt great at the end.
I have only deducted one star, and for a personally embarrassing reason — the imitation leather seat gives me a sweaty backside. I am a large sweaty guy in general and it’s been hot here in the UK and Brittany/Normandy over the period since my seat has arrived, so it might not affect everyone, but if I bought it again I’d get the cloth seat rather than the ‘leather’.
But it’s very, very well-designed, and looks like it’ll last a long time. Recommended!
