Chairblocks Reviews 

Written by the company

Chair Blocks have been designed to help alleviate the discomfort experienced by musicians when using poor seating at rehearsal halls, theatres, concert and gig venues. They encourage good posture by raising the chair legs, keeping knee height below the hips. You can flip your blocks upside down to choose one of two height settings to achieve the best posture. Individually handmade in England from solid hardwood, Chair Blocks are durable, functional, affordable and beautifully made. A leather cord is available as an optional extra to assist carrying, as well as a free service to personalise blocks with your name and number should you choose. 
Chair Blocks have been tried and tested by professional musicians at many venues across the UK, enabling me to create the most versatile posture aid. With studies showing over 60% of contract musicians experiencing chronic back pain, it’s vital we do our best to limit an avoidable issue that can make a musicians life a misery.

 Recent clients include the London Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, as well as individuals from prominent UK orchestras such as the the London Mozart Players, Opera North and English National Ballet. Many West End, studio, freelance musicians and education establishments are also using Chair Blocks.
