Antoine Boyer's guitar support?

MattHenry

Does anyone know the specific product Antoine uses to raise his Holo? I've tried other products like it and these days I make my own but I like how the one he uses is collapsable and permanently installed. It only extends from one side so it's likely not enough of a lift for my long torso but I'm still curious who makes it.

I need something too! What do you use @Matt Henry ?

I make a booster from a crescent piece of foam wrapped in gaffer tape. I cut a cross section from a foam roller and then shape it and tape it. It works well and it fits in my gig bag behind the neck but it's not attached to anything.

At DIJ Boyer was using a Gitano Guitar support. I use one too and love it. It attaches to the guitar with suction cups. here is a link

Also check out this one. I have one of these too (i used to play classical guitar and these supports are all the rage in that community) This one would probably be better for a tall person. I really like this one, it works better than the Gitano but I don't use it as much because it is kinda bulky.

Here's the one I use and like- semi rigid, more comfortable...

I use a Dynarette cushion (from Sweden). They come in different sizes. I like the small size but have used larger sizes. Every person 5' 10" or taller I show it to tries it and orders one. No more footstool or putting one foot on top of another. Carrying bag attaches to your belt.

Classical players have delved into this issue quite a bit it seems:

Some reviews on Youtube also e.g.

I think I will try the Gitano

Thanks guys. And thanks Arcticguitar for the winning answer! I'd been curious since this summer.

I owned an ErgoPlay after seeing Wim using one at DIJ 2013. I kinda hated it and lost it at a gig. I always worried the metal would dent my guitar and it's too bulky. The lowest setting is still quite high since it's not made for GJ or even the typical leg we all use.

It's a bummer about the Gitano being a suction cup design because my guitars finish is too rough for them to stick. I'm sure I could work around it but still.

I've seen that video, I just didn't realize Boyer's little lift was that one.. good to know and thanks again!
