Description
NOTE: Suction cups do not work well on non-gloss finishes. If your finish is not smooth and shiny, we highly recommend Sagework Magnetic Guitar Supports. ErgoPlay includes adhesive films with this support that will allow suction cups to adhere more securely, but these films can cause serious damage to your guitar finish.
The ErgoPlay Tappert is easily adjustable to fit you and your guitar. The height and angle of the arms can be adjusted and as an improvement on the Professional Model it features adjustable suction cup angles along the plane of the support to help conform to the guitar body. Tabs on the suction cups allow easy removal to prevent damage to the guitar finish.
The Tappert is an improvement to the Professional model by adding the ability to adjust the angle of the suction cups to match the curve of the guitar body. This helps keep the support firmly attached to the guitar. The Tappert requires less width to fit on the guitar and also has a higher maximum position than the professional.
Minimum guitar body depth required: 3.5 inches.
Includes two ErgoPlay Suction Cup Helpers.

Minimum guitar body width: 3.5 inches (89mm)

I've had the ErgoPlay Tappert guitar support for a long time, but I've started to use it only recently. It's incomparably better than using a fussy and unstable footstool, especially because the free movement of my left ankle is limited, and I cannot hold my foot on the footstool comfortably. Either the footstool starts to slide away or my left heel starts "burning" very soon after I place my foot on it.
Guitar rests are a much better solution to the problem of holding the instrument in a position that's conducive to a healthy body position and easy left hand movement.
That said, every guitar support has its own problems, characteristics or disadvantages that are impossible to avoid with that particular design. ErgoPlay guitar supports work with suction cups, which may be unsuitable on scratchy, matte or uneven surfaces, especially on woods with open pores and a "natural" finish. These supports are very sturdy, with just the right amount of flexibility through the elasticity of the suction cups. Along with that, they tend to be slightly on the bulky side, and they add a noticeable weight to the weight of the instrument. They are also a bit fussy to use, because you need to attach and adjust them before each session and remove them afterwards if you want to put the instrument back to its case. After many practice sessions these routine tasks can become a bit of a chore and they certainly don't facilitate picking up the instrument quickly to try out a musical idea before it gets forgotten.
Received quickly and very comfortable coming from years with a foot stool.
I play an Ortega classical guitar. I was looking forward to using the guitar support. But it doesn't stick to the body. It slips with the slightest pressure.
Hello, Jorge.
It sounds like the finish on your guitar is not a gloss finish. As noted in the product descrtion, suction cups will only work well on a gloss finish.
For a non-gloss finish, Sagework or Woodside guitar supports are excellent.

This is exactly what I ordered and looks amazing, but I wish I would’ve read the note about it not working on a non-gloss finish, which is what I have. Sadly the support won’t stick and I’d rather not use the glossy stickers.
Love it and they have amazing service! 10/10
