After months of struggling with posture issues and back pain, I decided to invest in the best piano bench I could find.
I got the opportunity to extensively test the Glissando benches in the conservatory in Maastricht, and I still remember the amazement of trying them for the first time.
Initially I was sure that genuine leather would be my choice, but to my surprise, my experience told me differently. The vegan leather is more comfortable and breathable. I'm looking forward to being supported by this Glissando bench for the rest of my life!
When my crank bank failed its service irreparably, good advice was expensive. While researching on the internet, I came across the benches from Glissando. I immediately liked the company's commitment to quality. The decisive factor for the purchase were mainly positive long-term experiences of colleagues who described the Glissando benches as very robust. The bank bears its name rightly! I can now quickly position myself in front of the instrument steplessly, absolutely smoothly and precisely. It's like I was sitting on a kitchen chair before!
We have received the two piano benches. They are really comfortable and finely made. The equipment of our concert hall has thus improved significantly. Thank you very much!
I have been using Glissando piano benches in concert for over 10 years. I always have one or more with me when I travel with my historical keyboard instruments and use them even if there are good and heavy benches available locally. When tuning, I sit higher than most pianists. It is an invaluable advantage that the bench can be adjusted so quickly, accurately and silently. And in all these years, not once have there been problems with noise from the mechanics or the wooden frame.
The piano bench arrived a few days ago and I have already tested it extensively. I am thrilled! I have been playing since 2015, but have not been able to find a comparable seat for a piano. It won't be because of the piano and the piano bench that I can't play at a great level. Now it is solely up to me.
The Glissando piano benches have proven to be extremely reliable benches, able to withstand the demands of continuous use in the conservatory even after many years. Our first benches still look very good after 14 years of use.
No, the piano bench arrives fully assembled.
We know many soloists who use a glissando piano bench to practise with a cello or their wind instruments.
A good sitting posture with adjustable height is also important for these instruments. It promotes concentration and free movement of the back.
Free breathing is particularly important for wind players, which is promoted by a relaxed, upright posture.
This is not a problem with glossy black pianos and grand pianos. However, if you have a beautiful instrument made of fine woods, we will do our best to match your piano bench to it.
As a matter of principle, we do not use tropical woods such as mahogany or rosewood, but we will always find a solution that we can realize with local woods.
It is particularly suitable for children because of the large height adjustment range.
However, children weighing less than 20 kg need help with the adjustment, otherwise the piano bench will not lower.
You are cordially invited to test the piano bench directly in our manufactory in Aachen or to put together your own individual Glissando-Bench.
You can now also try out the bench in Leipzig.
A clean, slightly damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the covers and the frames. If soiled, use a mild soap solution.
The vegan covers can also be cleaned with medical disinfectants. We will be happy to name suitable means for you.
We have been manufacturing piano benches for around 25 years and, despite our lifetime guarantee, have only had to carry out a few repairs so far. Besides “accident damage”, it was usually due to the gas spring losing some of its gas charge after many years. Then the piano bench no longer lifts by itself.
The tough continuous operation at music academies is our best test field. There we find that after about 15 years, the first repairs may become necessary.
The entire Glissando piano bench is designed to be repairable. Whether it’s the mechanics, the upholstered seat, or the frame, we can repair any damage or fix it with replacement parts. We do it carefully and inexpensively.
The guarantee period is two years for the entire bench.
We also provide a lifetime guarantee for the mechanics, during which we repair all damage and defects free of charge.
