Ergoplayguitar rest Johannes Tappert black

The Ergoplay Tappert model works great on my Cordoba C12. The suction cups are just the right degree of gummy to securely hold on to the guitar without any worry over the finish. The support is fully adjustable for height and, importantly, tilt. On adjustment, the wing nut that keeps the forward suction cups at the proper level works perfectly; no slipping or needing to constantly re-tighten. I was using a foot stool and started to develop left knee pain no matter how I adjusted my position. Also, when last in London I bought a different support (don't recall the name) from a prominent classical guitar shop that was not nearly as intuitive to use and ultimately did not work as well as the Ergoplay. Now I have no more pain in my knee (or back) and the Ergoplay just keeps getting more and more comfortable, the more I use it. I wouldn't bother to write a review except that the design of this product is exceptional. Don't just take it from a duffer like me; I finally went ahead and made the purchase after I saw Brandon Acker mention the Ergoplay in one of his videos. He's right; it works great!

This is an amazing piece of kit. It's completely changed the comfort in playing as the guitar doesn't move at all- it stays in whatever position I put it in. Having the guitar raised really makes all the difference- way more comfortable and I'm not moving my shoulder around trying to hit hard chords. This really is worth every penny and my all-time favourite classical guitar purchase, apart from my classical guitar itself.The delivery takes a little while, as advertised, but is expected as is from Europe, Sweden if I remember rightly, but it was delivered at the earliest date advised. Seriously, it's worth the wait and the price is great for the difference it makes. So glad I decided to get it, I'll never play without it.

The rest was very good positionally and solved my back and wrist problems . I was watching closely to see if the suction pads left marks as I have seen on the internet this is possible . I kept the rest in place for brief periods of half an hour or so to reduce the chance of this, but unfortunately after a few weeks the pads left tide marks on the finish that I found ugly and unsightly . I could not remove them at first but eventually obtained a specialist product that did the job . My instrument is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer which is notoriously vulnerable, but I like it to look good as well as play well, so the cloudiness under the suctions pads did bother me.I wish I could think of another way to attach this rest, because positionally it is excellent, and having tried other solutions such as straps and foot stools it is definitely the best from that point of view.

Easy to attach to guitar and stays firm in use. No sticky residue to worry about damaging surface of guitar. Easy to remove as well. Much better than using a foot stool.

Rather expensive but well worth the money. It greatly improves posture and control of the guitar and reduces slippage from the knee. It has plenty of scope for adjustment in order to achieve the preferred playing height. The only negative point may be that the suction cups do not always hold too well on highly glossed finishes and have a tendancy to lift after a while. However it is thoroughly recommended for those who are serious about classical guitar playing.

The answer to my hunched back. The alternative to a footstool which is awkward and has your knee near your chin. Good build quality and adjustable for just about any classical guitar. Works with my cutaway Yamaha and my Flamenco. Good posture and good access to the fingerboard for not a lot of money.

I've just received my Ergoplay guitar rest and have spent a few hours playing classical guitar with it. It does exactly what I had hoped it would, which is allow me to play more comfortably, without a foot stool. The foot stool was giving me pain in my left hip. It makes holding the guitar effortless. I found it easy to fit and so far the suckers are holding firmly to my gloss finished guitar. I would highly recommend this to keen classical guitar players who can't get on with a foot stool.

While it is non-slip indeed, even when setting on the smallest possible setting, it raises the guitar way too high. The position is uncomfortable for playing and the suction cups also get off from the lightest movement. Reverted to the foot stand as this guitar support just made things worse.Maybe if you are particularly tall it will work but at 5'3" it definitely doesn't.

Works on my flamenco guitar despite it having a more narrow body than a classical. It actually stays in place, so much better than the cheap alternatives. It's expensive but very much worth it.

Al principio cogí el tamaño pequeño por desconocimiento y lo cambié por este aunque con algunas dudas. Todas esas dudas desaparecieron enseguida. Es muy cómodo y realmente esto hace que toques mejor, no solo más relajado si no que mejoras la posición de las manos tanto la derecha como la izquierda. Pensaba que sería más armatoste pero dentro de lo que cabe a mi parece estar en consonancia con todo el conjunto. Si alguien tiene dudas con respecto al tamaño, mi consejo es cojer el adulto si se trata de una guitarra 4/4. Se coloca fácilmente y enseguida coges un punto de referencia y no cuesta nada. Las ventosas no parece que vayan a dañar el barniz.

Funciona muy bien, se adhiere sin problemas a la guitarra, espero que las ventosas sean durables y no se desgasten rápido. NOTA: Si la guitarra es delgada este producto NO te va a servir.

Sono un chitarrista professionista e trovo che l'utilizzo dell'ergoplay, se ben regolato, possa ridurre o addirittura azzerare tutti i problemi legati alla postura.Con questo prodotto in particolare mi sto trovando molto bene. Le ventose sembrano resistenti (in genere sono la parte più delicata), e la regolazione permette di abbassare o alzare notevolmente il supporto.Un'altra cosa che ho apprezzato è la possibilità di orientare le ventose rendendo questo ergoplay più adattabile alle varie esigenze posturali.Anche il grip che va a contatto della gamba sembra fare il suo dovere senza consumarsi.L'unica cosa che vorrei segnalare ai produttori riguarda l'assenza di un copri ventose. Durante il trasporto dell'ergoplay in borsa o in valigia, può capitare che si pieghino e a lungo andare potrebbero rovinarsi.Lo consiglio.

I’ve been using this ever since I got it. It’s so much better than a foot stool. It’s a bit expensive but it’s worth the money.
