Subject: Please remain seated

Can anyone recommend a musician's chair or stool suitable for a keyboard player?

I'm after something high enough to enable me to keep my keyboard at
standing height - i.e. so I can play it while standing if I choose.

A traditional piano stool or bench therefore wouldn't appropriate as
they're too low and would require setting my keyboard stand at a
height suitable only for playing while seated.

I bought a Quik-Lok D/749 a while back, but that was a horrible, huge
clanging thing.

The seat and the footrest fell out of place with even the slightest
knock and the noise they made when that happened was very loud - quite
unsuitable for a home studio, especially if you're playing music late
at night.

I've checked out a few bar stools too, but they tend to be too high
for my situation - I'm 5'10" - and you can't push them out of the way
under the keyboard when you're not playing.

Any suggestions, preferably for specific products, would be most appreciated.

Regards,
