Re: Sitting posture for taller players...
Just weighing in. . .
I'm 6'-5" (and not fatt!) and always use a strap. I play standing a lot this time of year, 'cause when I get home, I like to walk about the house and play my mandolin!
I also have problems with seat height. Actually, at the local jams, I'll often take two chairs (nesting type) and stack them to get another 2 inches or such? It really helps!
I have this idea that I want to make a custom folding chair. Nothing fancy, just something that's 2 inches (or so) higher! (I'd love to see the chart on seat height.)
I also have a long inseam at 36 in.
In recent weeks, I've tried to restrap my mandolin - ala Steffy on his a-model. I didn't like that at all! Mandolin really wanted to pull towards the picking hand! I use my strap about the peghead.
Have fun!
f-d
