I've always had horrible posture resulting in headaches. Hunching over my guitar like a goblin has only added to the problem. I want to thank you for your focus on ergonomics and posture as it relates to guitarists. You've helped me be mindful of these issues so I can play without having down a few ibuprofen every day. Thanks, Dr. Andre!
Dead ass had this one on my list for at least 6 months before this video, 100% because of flip up arms. The folding storage feature is also super useful for storage in smaller space.
This was maybe the only thing I’ve ever bought from an IG ad. I’ve had it for a month now and no regrets.
@@mikeomatic9905 good to hear! I’m working from home now so I’m gonna need to purchase a new chair.
I recently purchased a Hinomi Chair for the same reasons. I have had many chairs seeking comfort for guitar playing and desk work. I have gone down the road of purchasing the Herman Miller and Hag Capisco and other "High End" chairs only to eventually seek out something more accommodating. Congrats on finding something that works for you.
I have a Capisco and a Aeron as well.. curious what your opinion is of the Hinomi?
What a perfect product for you to do a review for! Congrats Fludd!
Love to see how you have managed to create unique content that is still 1,000% relevant to the channel. I will be checking this out for my small office, I love to practice both seated and standing, the fold out feature is a big plus.
The 'dramatic re-enactment' scene featured some of your best acting to date. I'm impressed.
😂😂😂funny story, I did that spur of the moment and the audio I found afterward just happened to fit perfectly.
@@andrefludd - it was destiny!!!!
This is what i always wanted! Thank you Andre fludd!
I greatly appreciated the dramatic re enactment of the reclining position. Thanks for the review. I've been looking for a new chair for teaching and making videos. All the best, Shane
Glad to help! Don’t forget to use my discount link
@@andrefludd thanks!
Many thanks for the review. I was looking to purchase one, and it helped me
Great review and great tone!
I was just looking on Amazon for a new chair to play my guitar on. Thanks again!
Thanks for this. It's great to see a review from a guitarist's perspective. I have the same gaming chair as you, but it's not comfortable. The Hinomi looks like a good upgrade. I appreciated the dramatic reenactment 🙂.
The thing with office chairs is there will never be a one size fits all or definitive best for everyone. This looks like a solid choice for folks. For me, mesh chairs are just a hard no. My brother has an Embody and doesn't use it for guitar either, he just uses a piano bench. I tried the Aeron and hated it. I also tried the Fern from Haworth and it didn't work at all for instrument playing, but as an office chair it was magnificent. I did end up sending it back for reasons that aren't the fault of the chair. It just wasn't designed for someone with my frame in mind. I ended up with a Steelcase Leap and it has been a game changer for about 3 years now. I'll keep an open mind but for my dimensions I don't think I'm gonna be finding a better chair any time soon.
I recently got a flip up arm office chair and it's made a big difference, I've had a bunch of high end office chairs of the years, and a bunch of cheap ones, some with arms some without and what I realised was that it's essential for me to have one with flip up arms, because working from one without arms is far more fatiguing than one with. For anyone in the UK, I went with the realm of thrones captain chair. Something else I've learned over the years, is that if you have to 'fix' with a pillow for lumber or height, it's better to just replace it with one that's a better fit.
Yep, the flip-up arms change everything. Thank you, Dr. Fludd, for calling my attention to anyther great product that I will have my wife put on my Christmas wish list! But, I am looking forward to a ture "deep-dive" into all the little ins-and-outs of that beautiful "wang-bar kid," the honey-hued, dulcet toned Holdsworth...as well as the latter-day Steinberger.
Brilliant review Mr Fludd. I'm very tempted. the chair I have keeps making knocking noises....must be 8-10 years old now...
Hell yeah, it looks nice!
That is also a sweet H2, i have always wanted one!
That’s a beautiful chair. Wish I could afford one. Love the Holdsworth guitar.
I am excited for that review of the allan holdsworth guitar. Its unusually small but at the same time i really want to know if the smaller size is a deal breaker or a maker especially for a bigger guy like you
Good job, man, thanx.
GLORIOUS!!! I am buying one of these!!!
Use my link for a discount buddy :)
Just bought two! And you did save me a LOT of money on this!
@@d3w4yn3 Glad I can help. I hope you love it like I love mine
5 months in, can confirm this chair prevents swamp ass 100%. The thin mesh doesn't allow for that stinky butt heat buildup, unlike my last gaming chair 😅 oh and it's pretty great for playing guitar
i have the hyken from staples, i removed the right restarm so i could play guitar on it and it works fine
I have removed the arms from my ergonomic chair for now. I will order this either late next year or the year after (my bookmark includes your invitation code).
i badly need a new chair and I was about to order one of these a few weeks ago but I got scared off by a lot of bad reviews. wild that you are doing a review now, I guess I will have to reconsider. I always have had to remove at least one arm in order to play guitar, so flip up arms was a main requirement. But I am not sure I am down for a mesh chair, my chair at work is mesh and its nice but I think I prefer a nice fabric or leather padded chair because.. well I don't know why.. I think I just assume it'll be more comfortable for gaming or activities other than work related stuff.. and the way mesh chairs always have a hard rim around the seats always makes me feel like I would bang the butt ends of my guitar on that hard part...
I have the herman miller aeron and the armrest always gets in the way of the guitar lol
I took the arms off my aeron and honestly still didn’t love it for guitar. Good chair otherwise.
Man, I really like that you get sponsors that are actually useful for your core audiences. Too bad they don't ship this beauty outside the US.
just took off my cheap pc chair's handle and it felt so weird, this is the one imma get it
I took your advice on the Performaxe, and I really love it! I just have one issue with my shoulder when I wear a strap with my PRS SE. Can you do a video on ergonomics with guitar straps as well?
I discuss it in my course to some degree. May be more about your posture than the strap itself
Looks like a very good chair. The Black Friday sale ends today. How long have you been testing the chair?
I’ve had mine for about a month now, and no real issues. My gf’s Herman Miller feels a tad more solid, but this one still feels alright, and is considerably cheaper. Only thing that surprised me was its weight. The box is quite huge and it weighed like 65lbs.
One of the more important but least talked about aspects of guitar playing. Posture is so important for your health and the chair plays an important part.
Could the back part of the seat be lifted/slanted upwards as well? I had such chair in an office and I've never found anything more comfortable. That posture kept my legs somehow active, and it removed the pressure from the back part of the thigh reaching the knee. The only other solution for office work is taking the seat really low, towards the natural resting position (some call it «Asian squat»), but that doesn't really work for guitar practice.
I kind of don't understand why the 45 degree angle classical sitting style is the ,,good" stance I used to play classical for like a year so originally I started playing electric like that as well but over the years I swapped over to the normal stance over my right knee. I get how it's more similar to how you'd play standing up, but that doesn't mean better, I can play a lot more difficult stuff, play it cleaner and quicker when I'm sitting normally. Only thing that I noticed that I can play cleaner are sweeps in the classical position
Comfort is going to be subjective, but playing over the right leg leads a lot of people to slouch. Left Arm often has more dexterity when it is lifted a bit more and that life can give the fingers more ability to stretch. This is difficult to fully explain in a quick youtube reply and I touched on different aspects in the different videos in the ergonomic playlist. Also covered in much more detail in the course.
This isn't chair related but I just got a new guitar total impulse buy.. the sterling music man MAJ100 the John petrucci signature and I'd like to know if you have played 1 so i can get your input 👍
I just got this chair a few weeks ago. The one thing I don't like is how aggressive the lumbar support is. Its like a protruding firm bar across the lumbar and even when adjusted to least aggressive tension it was not comfortable over a long session. I have put a cushion on the back that evens it all out and I quite like it with the cushion in place. I have hear others complain of this and just want to warn people. Thanks for the review.
That’s a fair point. I really like that about it, but I can see why someone else wouldn’t. I’ve also found that if I adjust the seat forward enough it makes the lumbar feel less aggressive, but that is a totally different posture as well.
I
I neeeeeed a new chair! Holding my guitar and reaching for my computer broke my neck
They make it without wheels so when I stomp a pedal I won’t roll back?
Respectfully, if you have carpet, you won't be rolling far. lol If you have hardwood floors, you'll def need to put the brakes on the chair wheels so you don't roll.
They make those plastic mats to place under the chair, on top of carpet, so a chair with wheels will be able to roll because it's so difficult otherwise.
any way to get this in Denmark?
They are selling in the Europe
No mention of a foot rest.....almost perfect but I'm tired of using my tippy toes on my guitar leg. :{
I like the cheaper one without the headrest.
He's 6'. How tall are you? I'm thinking shorter people might not need the head rest?
@@le_th_ I'm 5'11" but have a bad lower back that needs lumbar.
i've long hoped someone would consider an ideal chair to play guitar in! there are a lot of great ones out there, but most don't also serve a purpose for being a solid chair for computer use/gaming/editing/etc. so this is great to see a company that appears to be making a chair that actually has useful features, and HOPEFULLY solid parts and build quality for once, instead of the "gaming chair" norm of lackluster adjustability, slop, and worst of all... cheap hardware. *shudders

Touch choices: $600 awesome new chair or $699 D'angelico mini DC??? Hmmm...
Also, having lived in Manhattan for 9 years, I def understand the beauty and the struggle of not having a car (having a car there did NOT make my life easier, it made it much more stressful and expensive). It was only *slightly* less stressful moving to Hoboken for 2 years, then I had to move back into Manhattan to get some peace and quiet (Hobokenites are noisy people!).
Great tip for people who can afford it or save to purchase it!
Looks like you live right around the corner from me :). Always nice hearing from a local. IMO get the chair and the guitar :) but the chair first so you can play the guitars you already own.
600 for a chair is way out of my price range.
It's $420 when on sale
@@YuhNinja
😂😂😂
Sadly, only for US customers :(
They are selling in UK, Europe, Canada, Singapore as well.
this is sweet but clearly its gonna be out of my price range.
I dunno man. £500 for a chair that has so many moving parts that you just know something is bound to break? 12 year warranty though… 🤔
which guitar is this? Nyktas? ne er heard of......
Unfortunately, these are made very cheap and fall apart after a month.
the perfect cat for algorithms 🐈
This is the dorkiest guitar review. That being said awesome chair .
I absolutely LOVE IT. This guy is the total package, really setting players up to succeed.
Very cheap 😂😂 600 usd better to buy a guitar
😂
