Pick N Glider
It seems that the Pick N Glider chair is no longer in production. I first experienced this wonderful armless chair at Elderly Instruments @ 15 years ago. I wish I'd have bought one but it wasn't in the budget at the time. Are there any such products on the market today? I'd like something with a back so the drum throne type of thing is out. Hoping there is something out there that I'm not aware of.

not new, but I see pick-n-gliders listed on reverb and FB market place fairly often.
There's one old listing on reverb right now in Illinois. https://reverb.com/item/69073620-pic...ng-chair-2020s |

Put me down as another SoundSeat fan. A bit expensive but well worth the price in the long run. Love mine.

Amazon sells glider rocking chairs. By the looks of this model, a screwdriver or bolt-driver might be all that you need to remove the arms off of the chair.
They probably deliver it in a box where you have to partially assemble it anyway. Just don't attach the arms. And it comes with a free rocking sheet music holder ottomam, lol. https://www.amazon.com/Angel-Line-Mo...-15&th=1&psc=1 Last edited by maxed; 03-11-2024 at 02:40 PM. |

It looks to me that such a chair needs those arms intact to keep the structural integrity intact. Probably not a good idea to leave them off.

Looking at that Reverb picture above of the used Pick N Glider, looks like a wooden bracket attaches the seat portion to the back-rest slats. I would just get metal "L" brackets from a hardware store and fasten them together as a brace.
But hey don't mind me, I was just offering a suggestion. Which you need not follow. I'll move along now. |

The only difference was, in lieu of the arms, wooden L-shaped brackets were used to secure the back of the chair to the seat: something any local handyman or carpenter - or, for that matter, anyone with a modestly-equipped workspace in their garage and a modicum of woodworking skills - could make from a couple pieces of scrap oak in about an hour, or pay less than $50 to have it done professionally... In short, $150 for the full deluxe package - rather than the ~$500 that P&G was charging... BTW I pointed out this nasty little secret on a couple other forums at the time... Put a lot of P&G owners' thongs in a knot - from mild displeasure to a couple highly-creative but decidedly non-Darwinian allegations involving my maternal ancestry ... Life lesson: folks will believe what they want, even in the face of hard evidence to the contrary; never make White Castles out of someone's sacred cow; and never ever expose the smoke-and-mirrors charlatan hidden behind the curtain...

Thanks for confirming! I always thought those looked like nursing gliders without arms. That is, it turns out, actually the case. |

I always thought they were pretty hideous IMHO, so nothing I would be purchasing in any case. The sound seat has a large following ,but it has a number of drawbacks that make it less than appealing for me, too. I still firmly stick to my love of the Mity Lite Flex One folder. I just grabbed one of mine Sunday to take to a gig. Whenever the "guitar seat" subject comes up the one thing that is always assured is we see that there are many solutions based on personal preference. |
