The hammond original bench is ca: 63 high.
The lower keyboard is at 83 (top of keys)

Tip is to tilt the bench about 2cm at the back legs.
This makes it easier to sit strait and reduces the pressure on the underside of the leg. The edge of the bench can pinch the bloodflow

I have the same set up and a Hercules bench that I am able to set to the correct height.

I built my own, copying the design and dimensions of the Hammond B3P / XK system bench.
Cost me $180 in materials.

If you can hire one, measure it all up, get it welded together. You'll need to make the hinges, but I found that easy simply using some sheet aluminium.

Same bench originally made for my custom built A100 chop portable Hammond.
It fits standard Hammond full 25 pedalboards.

Because the Pedalkeys 27 are front hinged and thus shorter in length, you can move the bench in closer if needed, allowing you to sit further back on the bench so your legs are supported more under knee. Takes a lot of the strain off lower back and hamstring pressure is negated.
