hello chris,  thanx for your reply.  i also use a strap even while sitting.   i like a couch 3" wide padded one.  i both sit and stand.  i found an unused ottoman in the house, and moved it to where i want it, beside the bed looking out the window.  i use a resin folding chair with a good molded seat for outside on the back porch.  both use a pillow in the seat for both raising and more padding.    see foto of ottoman.   i do 3 half hour practice sessions every day, the first and second tend to be sitting, and the third, playing/singing, is standing.

but which keyboard bench do you recommend, should i decide to buy one?

thanx  dale kirksey   usa
