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!

Good product. Does the job well. Recommended

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.

Item arrived ahead of scheduled date and was well packaged. The suction cups were quite stiff and difficult to attach to the main body of the rest (but that is better than being too slack!). The adjustment range of the rest is quite good - it perhaps doesn't go quite low enough for me, but I am still experimenting to find the optimal playing position. I would still recommend this guitar rest as a useful accessory.

This works to hold the guitar in the correct position with both feet flat on the floor , the polycarbonate guitar lift may work better but I prefer the wide leg rest to the other molded leg cushions

It does what it says. It promotes classical position, but its range of horizontal adjustment is quite poor. If you like your guitar more to the centre or slighty to the right of your torso, it doesn't really have much to offer. Very good build quality and I would trust it in a performance (where full classical posture is sensible), but it's not much use as a practice tool. Not versatile enough. I replaced this with a Guitarlift, which was a bit better, then a Le Support which is excellent. For the money, the Tappert is ok but I think there are better options days (but they all cost more, so credit where it is due).

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.

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.
