Abstract
A chair specifically engineered for performing musicians is disclosed. Extensive research and design has produced a vocal or instrumental musician's chair which permits proper diaphragmatic breathing and on which a musician can sit comfortably for long periods of practice or performance. This result is achieved by contouring the seat both for correct performing posture and for comfort. The orientation of the back-rest of the chair to the seat also enhances the posture of the performer and this, in conjunction with the positioning of the body relative to the floor, contributes to the ability of the performer to breathe properly while seated comfortably, thus reducing fatigue and greatly enhancing the tonal quality of the performance.
