Chairs

This is probably in the wrong section but who cares :P

What type of chair do you use to stop any back ache when practising... I've been playing on my bed lately and I know it isn't good for my back. Should I just use an office chair?

Have you had any experience with these? http://www.gear4music.com/Keyboards-...ayers-Seat/89O

Well, I like to have a back on my chair rather than a stool. And if you use a regular chair, it's better that it doesn't have arms on it. Pretty much any armless chair will work. I use an armless swivel chair.

I use a standard bar stool, helps me with my posture. I find sitting on the edge of the bed or in a low regular chair, I am always hunching over.

Whatever holds my weight. Although, I favor a metal folding chair, or sofa type seating.

Either a bar stool or an armless office chair.

I must say, you look pretty pissed.
