Adjust Position

2. UP AND DOWN

This refers to bench height.

Arrange bench height so that either toes or heels can play and release without leaning forward or back, without sliding forward to reach the keys, and can refrain from playing without causing leg strain or back discomfort.

If the bench is not adjustable, it can be raised by placing the legs on 1” x 4” boards (actually 3/4-inch by 3-1/2 inches). If the bench must be lowered, arrange for the bench to be shortened by 3/4” if needed. It may then be raised, lowered, or restored to its original height as required.
