How do I adjust the height on an antique piano stool?

Many period stools feature a revolving top that winds up or down on a central wooden or metal screw thread. Turning the seat clockwise or counter-clockwise alters the height to suit the player. Other variants use side handles or internal ratchets. Care should be taken not to force vintage mechanisms beyond their natural stopping points.

What is the difference between a solo and duet stool?
