    10 days later it arrived. Not bad over Christmas.

    Some comparisons to the Jansen (at least I assume the Bosendorfer branded bench is a Jansen).

    Top, CPS Import on right:

    Front:

    Underneath, you can see the quality difference but the cheap one isn't really that cheap.

    In more detail. First the Bosie/Jansen:

    Now the new one:

    In place:

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Definitely has a nice solid feel to it, though not quite the same as the Jansen. I'm pretty happy I bought it. Granted, it's the first day. But it won't get raised or lowered much, probably not at all, so one presumes it will last just fine.

        @jon-nyc how is the weight?

        The CPS benches I have seen before were substantially lighter.

            I'll wait for the data.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Glad it seems to be what you were hoping for.

              The Bose bench doesn't look like a Jansen. Obviously it's held up for a number of years, so whether it was made in-house, or by some other manufacture, it's well made.

              Jansen legs are attached to the body, and have an adjusting mechanism similar your newer bench. (just much more heavy duty)

                CPS: 25.8 lbs.

                  My adjustable piano benches weigh in at roughly 23 lb. each.

                    Yeah, @Rich is right. I’ve never met a Jansen bench under 45 lbs.
