ErgoPlay Tappert Guitar Support

The product is quality, the customer service is quality, and the experience is quality! That is winner in my book.

Over the last 50 years of guitar playing (with 6 years of formal music school training and 2 post graduate degrees later), I yet to find a perfect alternative to the foot stool. Once a lap support device is attached to a classical guitar, it inevitably limits the on-lap movement and angle of play to both hands. I surmise that some degree of adjustment is required in order to get used to it; but it's the nature of the beast that is inherently in all on-lap supports. Ergoplay is probably the best I've found so far. It has good height and angle adjustments. The suction cups work well albeit the extra effort of putting them on and off before playing; and it has be to done with some degree of care if you care about the guitar finish on a $20K plus instrument. It adds a noticeable amount of extra weight, hence the balance of instrument. It does allow a better sitting position and alleviates hip and back fatigue. I wonder if a support that could sit on both laps will work better ; that allows the right hip not having to pronate outward to accommodate the lower bout to sit between the laps. So far, the Ergoplay Tappert is as good an alternative as it gets.

Ergo play trappart guitar support.
I had 4 days to practice before first gig with it last nite. 2 hours…no issues.
Took my footstool just in case but did not even think about it.
Wish I had got one 45 years ago!

I have several guitar supports; none worked well for me until I got the Ergoplay Tappert! It is my understanding that if you are not tall (i.e. 5'5 or taller, the other supports may not be adjustable so that the head of the guitar is not overly high.
I am now able to sit comfortably in my chair without a footstool and can play for a long time without discomfort to my back and I have perfect visualization of the fretboard! How nice is that! It is great! So happy about my discovery!

The brace provides stability and comfort. As a senior player—I’m 71—the brace has relieved the discomfort of extended playing by eliminating the raised foot, allowing the hips to remain level. The brace also helps with holding an upright posture, thereby alleviating back discomfort. The brace is solidly constructed with quality materials; the design permits easy adjustment, for height and cant, to fit your preferred position. I’m very satisfied with the brace and glad to have it.
