Post by Quai34 »

Hi,

Let me know, I saw the Hammond bench aluminum one online at Musicians friends but expensive....

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 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Same bench originally made for my custom built A100 chop portable Hammond.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.
