Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Cellists require a unique playing position that our old, standard chairs cannot accommodate. These new chairs have been specially designed to put cellists in the optimal lean-forward position that successfully stabilizes and comfortably supports this trying posture. We are hoping this will lead to an increase in player comfort and playing ability during the long rehearsals and performances. Following installation and use of the chair, we will ask for written feedback in the form of a questionnaire from the cellists of the orchestra.
