The heavy duty swivel has a 90 degree stop on it and a spring return.   It was first made for keyboard players but since its introduction many  other musicians have decided to purchase them as well.  One use that  several steel players mentioned is if they play a second instrument they  can swivel to the left or right and play that instrument rather than  getting up and moving to another seat.  Some guitar players and bass  players not only want the swivel but a taller seat which is also  available from steelseats.

Available on all models without losing any storage space. 

The additional price for the swivel option is $100.00.

Norm played with Merle Haggard and was one of the Strangers as well as the road manager for over 42 years. He now tours with Noel and Ben Haggard. 

 Ronnie Miller (far left sitting) of Charlie Pride's band the Pridesman says, "Great seats wish I would have had one years ago." 

 Jay Dee Maness. The Academy of Country Music Steel Guitar  Player Of The Year 1970, and by 1999 he had been re-elected a further 16  times. Elected to the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame 2003. Played with Buck Owens  (first taste of TV on Hee Haw), Vince Gill, Herb Alpert, did the  original plot for the "Dukes of Hazzard" (and many more TV and movies),  Eric Andersen, Tony Booth, the International Submarine Band,  Glen  Campbell, the Carpenters, Carlene Carter, Neil Diamond, Phil Everly and  Arlo Guthrie. He was a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, and  later worked with fellow bandsman Chris Hillman. Other credits include  Engelbert Humperdinck, Lyle Lovett, Country Joe McDonald, Rose Maddox,  Bette Midler, Gram Parsons, Bonnie Raitt, Earl Scruggs, Ringo Starr,  Tanya Tucker, Dwight Yoakam and many more.  Too many recording sessions  to mention but only a few are - "Misty" Ray Stevens, "Tears in Heavens"  Eric Clapton, "Hello Trouble" Desert Rose Band,"Sweetheart of the Rodeo"  album The Byrds, worked at the "World Famous" Palomino Club in LA for  many years – plus many more.      

 Steel seats are a strange accessory, necessary (to me) and with  variables like cushion density and adjustability that make the "fit"  somewhat personal. I understand much of the brand loyalty.  I started  with an original Marrs ShoBud seat in the late 70's, wore it out, and  since have owned every one of the major brands and several custom jobs.  In all honesty your seat is the most comfortable and best fit for me of  any of the many I've tried.  The lite version is fantastic for smaller  gigs, and the laminate covering is perfect for road wear.  Your build  quality is stellar. So, I recommend your seats to all my students and  road buddies, and any time it comes up in discussion.  As you may  recall, I purchased my lite seat used, and you went out of your way to  help me get the legs right, even though I wasn't "really" a customer.   The steel community appreciates stellar service, and I never forget it! - Mark Van Allen 

 Tommy Dodd (with a smile), Custom Seat Original now plus a Lite and an effects box on legs. Tommy has contributed his talents to the recordings of such icons as Travis Tritt and Doug Stone. He has also played with The Supremes, as well as an impressive array of country giants at the 1994 Super Bowl half-time show featuring Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, and The Judds. In 1992, Tommy played the role  of a musician in When the Music Stopped, a season-6 episode of  In the Heat of the Night  with Carroll O'Connor and Robert Goulet. However, he says his greatest claim-to-fame came early in 1972 while playing with JD Sumner and the Stamps, when he actually shared the stage with Elvis!

 Great seats! Here is a photo of Gretchen's Band taken in Las Vegas. Notice the seat in the photo.

 William Paschoal, involved in TowerS Steel Guitars, Sao Paulo,  Brazil says, "Great seat I love it."   

 "My Lite Seat built by Joe is outstanding in many ways. It is compact,  light, sturdy, comfortable, durable, spacious, and attractively  designed. It takes up roughly half the amount of space in my SUV as my  former seat, yet still has that strong, dense cushion for which Steel  Seat is famous. Best of all, my wife can lift it...ha! Great job, Joe!" Chris LeDrew 

  I love my "Steelseat" Swivel.  It allows me to play my piano sitting in the normal frontal position and, as I choose, swivel either left or right to communicate with other band members on stage with ease.  I also use my seat in my music room to swivel back and forth from piano to computer and return.  This is so very helpful when writing charts, etc.  Being a piano player, Joe customized the inside of my seat to allow me to carry charts, piano pedal and cables, etc. Thanks Joe, for building the seat that I've needed for so many years  

Besides his steelseat that  he loves and states it is the best ever. He loves the Effects Unit with folding legs. 

 Johnny Cox,  has  played first with Lonzo & Oscar. Soon he was playing with Del  Reeves. Among the artists Cox has recorded, or played with, are Mel  Tillis, Charlie Louvin, Jimmy Newman, Ernest Tubb, Bonnie Raitt, Jim  Ed Brown, Cal Smith, Mandy Barnett, Billy Walker, Roy Drusky, and Justin  Tubb. 

 Great work. Very pleased at quality of construction and materials used.  The big surprise: I had been using one of those $35 folding piano stools  for the 4 years I have been playing steel and I knew my posture was not  good when playing. Sitting on my Steel-Seat, I found myself leaning  back (glad I got the backrest) and then found I could see pedals and sit  up straight and play with my arms extended in a very natural way, all  at the same time. So much more comfortable!!!       
     Thanks for a great product.  - Fred Rogan  

 This is the best seat and best seat value on the market and it has more storage than any seat I've seen.

 Here's the great Robby Springfield with his new SteelSeat.com Seat!  

Des lives in New Zealand - this is a custom made seat with Jade inlay. 

 Buddy Emmons "test drives" one of our Steelseat.com seats at        Scotty's International Steel Guitar Convention in Saint Louis. 

  Our original model seats will NOT tip over backward when the backrest is in the upright position and the seat is then opened, as demonstrated by this rather large tomcat that belonged to  W. C. Edger who started the company in Kansas.     

        Tom bought the company and moved it to Apple Valley, CA. After Thom's passing in Feb '09, Luann and Joe Naylor
discussed the continuation of the company.

Joe still says, "There is a little bit of W. C. and Thom in every seat."
       Rest In Peace Mr. Thom.
