Glenn Gould would always play on one particular chair, that positioned him very low in relation to the keyboard. The chair was made in Ontario and modified by his father (some inches were taken off the legs and small contraptions added to adjust the height). The normal height of a piano bench is 20 or 25 inches, but Gould’s was 14 inches off the floor and had a maple leaf carved into the backrest. ![]()

Despite the seat eventually being broken, with only a scrap of leather stretched over it, Gould brought it with him wherever he played, whether he was at home, in the recording studio or on tour. The squeaking and creaking of the chair drove the sound technicians to the brink of despair, but this made less noise than Gould singing along as he played. Apparently conductors also needed plenty of patience when Gould tinkered around with the chair with the same passion as a racing driver fine-tuning his car. ![]()
