Piano seats are designed for easy acess to the pedals. Let me know when pigs fly so I can buy one that is comfortable.

btw...can you play Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright?

maybe its not the seat that uncomfortable < its the piano stupid music

theyre not uncomfortable, if you can pay the right money...
and play Consequence of Sounds by Regina Specktor
u only need to know one chord, and a major scale
download it its really good and poetic

Made that way to get people who cant play off the piano! As far as a request....anything from Beethoven would be cool.

Maybe you just have an uncomfortable seat, I've sat on one in the shop and it was nice.

Because you are supposed to be sitting upright with good posture balanced on your toes and sitting on the edge of the seat to do the pedals and not relaxing and sitting flat on your butt.

bcoz to make sure that u concentrate while playing piano

I think they are designed that way to force you to sit up straight. It doesn't always work, but it's ergonomically designed for correct posture while playing. If you're playing while seated improperly your perfomance suffers.

To stop you falling asleep when playing some classical pieces.

you need more stuffing in your tushy

posture my dear your not playing in a rock group but watch elton john he is not a big bloke but he can reach any keys with out effort anyway try standing up bet wish you was sitting down

So you've never heard of cushions then ! As for something to play, do you know "The piano's on my foot"?......................SORRY - COULDN'T RESIST IT ! ! !

So you'll sit straight anything sweet

I hear you.... Especially when you are practicing for hours at a time. If you can't afford to get a nice padded 'artist bench,' you can easily make a cushion. I went to Michaels or Joanne fabrics and got a block of foam cut to the measurements of my bench, then I covered it in fabric. It helps!
