Customer Reviews
“I am really pleased with the stool! It arrived and was immediately put to use in the first week. After five rehearsals and three shows in different venues, I have experienced a level of comfort and relaxation that affords me to get into the music better! Also, our orchestra stage manager likes the light aluminum construction when they schlepp the thing from truck to stage.” Andrew Reed Miller, Principal Bass, Symphony New Brunswick, re his C4 ‘gig’ basso.
“My stool arrived yesterday and everything seems to be fine. I played all last evening and so far…so good. The tilted seat is quite nice. I am anxious for my up and coming Harrisburg Symphony run of Stravinsky and Strauss. Many thanks!” Duane Botterbusch, Bassist, Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra; Instructor of Double Bass Messiah College; Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music, Retired; Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College, re his C4 ‘gig’ basso.
“My experience with Concert Design was informative and fast! The stool itself is incredible, comfortable, and ergonomic. If one spends hours a day on a stool, it better be great, and these are! I have nothing but good things to say about my Concert Design!” Blake Hinson, Assistant Principal Bass, New York Philharmonic, re his C4 ‘gig’ basso and back support.
“Sal of Concert Design is the only person in the business who cares as much about your stool as you do.” Ian Simpson, bassist, uses the C4 ‘gig’ stool, Quebec City, QC, Canada.
“The C4 ‘gig’ basso stool is excellent, well worth the investment. My back no longer aches even after sitting on it all day and evening! It doesn’t creak and is easy to carry. By far the best stool I have used – expensive but well worth the money. I would recommend it to any bass player.” Philip Bishop, bassist, Surrey, U.K.
