piano stool

Musician's adjustable perch

A piano stool is a backless seat designed for use at a piano, typically adjustable in height to accommodate players of different sizes.

Traditional piano stools have round tops and rotate to raise or lower the seat; rectangular piano benches serve the same function but adjust differently.

She spun the piano stool higher before sitting down to play.
