Stool vs Bench
This is a somewhat heated debate but most professionals end up using a sturdy bench especially playing a gig.
You definitely shouldn’t be playing in just a regular chair unless you’re just beginning to learn or are just messing around.
Proper form and posture goes along way in being a good harpist and doesn’t result in an unhealthy way of playing.
But let’s get deeper into why you would want one or the other.
Stools
Stools are a great place to start for many reasons. Most people have some sort of stool in their home for whatever reason even if it’s just a regular bar stool. It still works.
Although some people don’t like them because it doesn’t feel sturdy enough which in turn is not as comfortable to play after a while.
But if you get the ones that we have reviewed above they are all top of the line tried and true stools that you can use for years and years no matter how advanced you are in the harp.
Benches
Once you get more into harp playing and playing a lot more in general you might want to consider a bench which is typically more comfortable to play for longer periods of time.
Benches are probably your best bet for overall comfort and long playing times. They also just aesthetically look great and better than stools.
Correct Height
Anywhere between 16 to 20 inch stool or bench is perfect for any harp player.
Conclusion
In conclusion we would like to end by saying it doesn’t really matter if you get a harp stool or a bench. Just choose one that you find attractive and fit well to your body type and which one you would like to have around you and your house.
