Description
The RATstands Cellist Chair offers the ergonomic support and flexibility needed for the specific requirements of cellists and their playing position.
The chair’s leg height and seat angle can be adjusted independently, allowing each cellist to find their optimum seating position and adjust the overall angle of the chair to suit their playing posture. This provides the flexibility needed to support the forward-leaning position of a cellist while maintaining comfort and stability during extended rehearsals and performances.
The chair has been expertly designed to provide enhanced support and comfort for musicians. Its narrow back provides support where it is needed without restricting the arms, shoulders, or rib cage. The backrest is deliberately fixed in position, with its lower curve positioned to support the lumbar region and encourage the musician to sit fully back in the chair, helping to maintain the natural curve of the lower spine and promote good posture.
Although the backrest is fixed, adjusting the leg height and seat angle allows the overall sitting angle to be changed to accommodate the cellist’s playing position. The horizontal seat profile, with its rounded and downturned edges, allows the musician to position themselves naturally and keep their feet flat on the floor, helping to promote good circulation and long-term comfort.
The chair is also designed around the way musicians actually sit and play. Cellists may need to position themselves towards the side of the chair depending on their playing posture, and the seat and frame design allows greater freedom of movement around the chair without restricting the musician’s legs.
Adjustable feet also enable the chair to stand level on uneven flooring and even raked stages.
The elegant and classic appearance of the Cellist Chair is ideal for orchestral performances, rehearsals, recording studios, and home use. The chair’s top-grade steel frame is coated with a black anti-scratch powder coat for maximum durability and a sleek finish. The seat and backrest are manufactured from firm foam and upholstered with high quality, breathable, and flame-retardant fabric. The standard charcoal fabric is sophisticated and minimal, while a range of upholstery colours is available for a custom look.
Multiple chairs can be vertically stacked for compact storage. The Opera Chair Trolley (301Q80) and Dolly (301Q81) are available separately for easy storage and transport. The chairs can be easily manoeuvred by one person, and different variations of the Opera Chair range can be mixed in the same stack.
All the chairs in the RATstands Professional Range are designed, manufactured, and hand finished in the UK. They are the preferred choice for orchestras, schools, recording studios, and musicians all over the world and are built to last for many years.
