Little Turtle Cello Bench

For more photos of the bench please visit my Etsy store.

When a child is learning to play the cello, it is critical to establish good form at an early age. From the position of the fingers on the bow to the angle of the thighs, all must be correct for the child to develop proper technique.

However, helping a young child to understand the importance of proper form can be challenging. The Little Turtle Cello Bench helps to address this challenge by allowing the teacher to adjust the height and endpin anchor so that the basics of positioning are maintained. When the child takes the bench home to practice, the positioning of the child, bench, and instrument are consistent, facilitating correct posture and improved technique.
