Best seats
For the first time in my life, I am thinking about buying a steel seat to replace my chair I carry around to my gigs.
Got any comments on the one you use? It's longevity? How does the cloth wear? Comfortable?

They're all great anymore but I prefer my Walker seat. Ray Walker has some little subtle twists in his seats I haven't seen with the others. Mine is the wide version with the extra compartment on the right and the heavy duty folding back. Hell, Ray even powder coats the folding legs on the thing...JH in Va.

You CANNOT beat the Steelers Choice Seats !! They are made well and are very comfortable no matter how long you sit. They will last a long time too. I know these guys personally and have for a long time. They are great guys and build a GREAT seat. (Oops did I sound like Porter Wagoner jsut now?) Anyway you won't be disappointed with their seat.

I'm still using the Rollans seat I bought in 1993. I toured with it from 1996-2000. HARD touring, too...fly dates, in and out of a bus bay every night, dropped, slammed, etc., etc. It's seen all lower 48 and some twice or three times. It still works perfectly, and other than having an artist's name stenciled on it so we would not lose it, it still looks great too. One small tear in the covering, is all the wear it shows... absolutely unbeleivable for what it's been through.

I Also Endorse Walker seats
And In My Opinion There isnt a better quality seat available ..
the other thing about walker seats is when you order one you get it !!!
there is no waiting period
ray Uses the finest materails available and like the guy says he even powder coats the aluminum legs ...
Go To Walkerseats.com and take a look for yourself .. and ray is a great guy to deal with ..
Just my two cents

Heck let me get in here and plug my seat and also add that if you don't get a Walker then by all means get with Ken or Dan and get one of their seats. They do a fine job. I want to thank all of you for your kind words and let you know that I appreciate you each and every one. I simply try to build the best in each one I make.

I am sure that there are some well made seats on the market today, and that they are made by some good people.
However, I have had the great pleasure of calling Ray and Debbie Walker my friends. They are both very fine people with great integrity. Ray custom made me a seat, and I don't know how I use to play without it. Years ago I use to sit in a chair,and by the end of the 2nd set I would have a hurting back. Now, I play three to four hours and have no fatigue or pain.
So the bottom line is this. Get yourself a Walker Professional Players Chair, and you will have a seat as good as it gets!!!

I have owned a few different seats and the "Steeler's choice" is also my favorite by far.

Does anyone make a seat with lumbar support and an integrated, or removable, hardshell lid that couples with the chair and protects the seat fabric and the backrest ? That's the model I'd want for flying gigs. Otherwise I'd think a seat would be safer packed in a box, I did it like that for a tour to Canada years ago.
