What Chair Do I Use for Classical Guitar? In this video I look at the best two chairs for classical guitar that I’ve found so far. One is a drum throne and the other an antique piano stool.

The Drum Throne I use via Amazon – Keep in mind that I hate how this one squeaks, but maybe all of them do? I should order a different brand to see if there is one that is silent.

Antique piano stool with talons – These were super common and they are readily available via ebay, etsy or your local antique store. I found mine at an antique store randomly while paying for some furniture, it was right there and newly refinished so I grabbed it at a great price.
