"The 'gig' basso stool is padded, portable and pretty (in a manly, sophisticated way). All in all, perfection. It was not inexpensive, but it has performed on every gig perfectly. The expenditure was well worth it. I have to carry my bass some distance at York University, and my bass stool is easily carried due to its lightness. It also is indestructible - it has fallen many times with nary a scuff. Great phone service and prompt delivery too. Thanks, folks!" Bruce Rumble, bassist, Barrie, ON, Canada. (2007)

"I want to let you know that I am extremely happy with the 'concert' basso which I ordered recently. It is really everything I wanted and more. Thank you for taking care of me and getting it out to me, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I love it!" Justin Bendel, bassist, Pittsburg, PA. (2006)

"My concert basso stool arrived last week. I have been using it everyday. I don't know why I didn't invest in one sooner! My practice sessions are longer and more relaxed. The stool was very easy to assemble and fits well in my practice room. It will work well on the concert stage too, when I need it. Thanks for packing the tools necessary to fine tune the chair. Everything was right in order as you said it would be when we spoke on the phone. Thanks also for the extra trash bags to collect all the newspaper packing involved with it's shipping. I am 100% completely satisfied!! Thanks Concert Design!!" Mike Kienlen, bassist, St. Paul, MN. (2006)

"The 'concert' basso is wonderful, everything I hoped it would be and more. After a few weeks of minor adjustments to the height and gradient, I have no more significant back pain. I am sitting quite low ("New Dutch School" also advocated by Joel Quarrington) in relation to the other members of my section but this setup is catching on with them. Thanks again. " John Gowen, bassist, Toronto Symphony Orchestra. (2005)

"It's amazing how much of a good bass sound is in your ass, so I put mine on the best chair there is - the Concert Design 'concert' Basso. There's even a little footrest on mine." Penn Jillette, the larger, louder half of PENN & TELLER. (2000)

"The foot-supports work perfectly, and the idea to make them so they can fold up was genius. Thank you for all the thought and work you put into them. They really make a great product outstanding." Tom Lederer and the bass section at Dallas Symphony.

I think the ideal testimonial from us came when one of our players emphatically said: "It is clear that these stools were made for playing the bass." His tone of voice was compelling... From Greg Sarchet and the bass section at Lyric Opera of Chicago.

"The thoughtful design and comfort level of the "Basso" make it the best available anywhere. I recommend the Basso to all players, amateur and professional. I guarantee the bass player will not find a superior stool." Joel Quarrington, principal bassist, National Arts Centre Orchestra

"We searched for new bass chairs for two years. When we found the Concert Design 'Basso', we knew immediately this was what we wanted. Our choice had to be more than fully-adjustable; the chair we chose had to be rock solid. Our entire section whole-heartedly endorses the Concert Design 'Basso'." Bass section of Buffalo Philharmonic.

"Our entire section says 'Bravo'. Anyone with back or comfort problems should investigate the Concert Design Basso. It is possible to make seat and seatback adjustments during a performance with ease and no noise. The customer service reps at Concert Design are great to work with and are willing to try to accommodate the special needs of a player."Click here to read the entire article. Pat Moulds, bassist, Dallas Opera.

"The Bassos are great. We all love them." Tom Zera and the bass section at Utah Symphony.

"The Basso has all of the important features in a bass stool, stability, adjustability and comfort.The Basso is the most complete stool on the market." Eric Chappell, 2nd Assistant Principal, Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal.
