I almost had given up already get a suitable piano bench at an acceptable price, but with this I am very happy now. No matter whether you buy in the store or on the Internet, prepared piano benches at such prices seemingly exclusively in China. But even if the banks with double scissor mechanism almost all look the same, there are significant differences in the mechanics and you have to be lucky to get an error-free copy. Very important and good is that the Classic Cantabile has a mother as a stop on the Splindel so that they can be moved safely between minimum and maximum height. The I first bought Steinbach-Bank had not, and after the first attempt to put the bank on the specified maximum height of 58 cm, was the mechanics this bent and useless, because this maximum amount was not reached. When subsequently purchased GRAIN Bank trickled already at the first adjusting metal splinters from the stem to the ground, which was apparently due to a quality problem when manufacturing the spindle. Then I bought the Classic Cantabile, but in this, the screws were missing for attaching the legs, which indeed indicates on a limited production quality. After complaining finally Amazon yielded but a complete copy, which is visually flawless, even better than the first delivery. Should also be noted that the measured amount of the bank can be adjusted in unoccupied state between 48.8 mm and 56.8 mm and the seat height is about 10 mm by pressing the pad underneath. The product information is correct at this bank thus also very good. Of all piano benches, I can only recommend the Classic Cantabile from his own bitter experience. Because of missing screws with the first delivery, I still pulled off a star.
