    I sit so that I straddle c-d-e at middle c, like you, Andy. Only slightly to the left of d.

      Stand, sit, shuffle left & right - even around the right side sometimes to tune the treble... ๐Ÿ˜‰

        I donโ€™t think about a precise position, but have noticed lately that I want the bench a tad more in the bass direction. But then, I was never completely happy with the bench/keyboard relationship.

        And I want my bicycle seat a tad lower and bars a tad higher.

        Our posture changes with age.

          I mostly stand at my piano, and sing. Itโ€™s the right height for my glasses and choir music!

            Shearing of course was blind so would be feeling differently.
            I've tried shutting my eyes to play (fail) but often play in near darkness. Same with juggling, can't even run 3 balls with my eyes shut.

            Simple but those left hand jumps are deceptively difficult, for me; though the hardest of his to learn was 'What are you doing for the Rest of your Life'.
            Most of his published arrangments are easypeasy and people like the lyrical quality and close notes.

              If I intend to play a piano, I generally sit within arm's length from its keyboard.
