Jansen School Piano Bench

The Jansen School Bench with reinforcement cross-bar is a Duet Size Piano Bench by Paul Jansen, that offers optimal sturdiness and durability, and is perfect for piano teachers, schools, churches, university practice rooms, or anywhere where a heavy-duty bench is needed. The bench is constructed of hardwood maple, and comes in square tapered legs, with a beveled edge lid. The bottom of the bench is routed-in to the sides of the frame, instead of stapled, for additional support.

Similar to a grand type piano bench, but built much stronger, the school bench comes with a reinforcement cross-bar. The bench measures 14.5 X 33 inches, height is 19" (this bench is half an inch longer than a grand piano duet bench). Functional and strong, with a large music storage compartment.

What is a reinforcement cross-bar on a school piano bench?

A key feature of the Jansen School Piano Bench is the solid reinforcement cross-bar installed beneath the seat. This solid bar connects the legs, preventing them from spreading or loosening over time. It dramatically increases the structural integrity of the bench, making it safer to move across a room and more stable during use — even when players shift their weight, rock slightly, or adjust their seating position. Reinforced benches like this are ideal for schools, churches, and studios where the bench is used heavily and moved often.

Reinforced Design for Greater Weight Support

In addition to improving stability, the cross-bar also allows the bench to support significantly more weight than a standard piano bench. It helps distribute pressure evenly across the frame, reducing stress on the joints and legs. This ensures long-lasting strength and reliability, even under the demanding conditions of classrooms, rehearsal spaces, and churches.

Why Choose a School Piano Bench?

The Jansen School Bench is specifically designed for high-use environments, making it ideal for:

• Music classrooms and practice rooms
• University concert halls
• Church sanctuaries and choir rooms
• Hotel lobbies and performance spaces
•  Music studios and teaching centers

Its solid hardwood construction, reinforced frame, and easy-maintenance wood top make it the perfect choice where both beauty and rugged reliability are required.
