Tell me about seats

[Aaron Goldstein]

Hello friends

Has anybody yet developed a steel seat that hides or protects the fabric portion for travel? Seems counter-intuitive to have case-type seat with three sides that will withstand wear and the fourth side made of fabric. Curious as to what people use who are on the road a lot. I have used a drum throne for many years myself. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Most players put them in a road case same as amps or other gear for transport other than local events, but yes I have seen construction like you describe, just can't remember where.

Maybe the european seat builder that uses aluminum casing whose exact name and location escapes me.

EDIT: Yeah, I think this is it. Scott Dixon built seat with a hard cover for the seat:

Even with this, I think one needs recessed butterfly latches all around for airlines or other LD transport.

My Steelers Choice seat has a back which provides a lot of protection for the seat, when folded down.

I bought a cover for mine.
