For more stability and comfort in positioning the guitar! This accessory prevents the guitar from sliding at the contact points with the legs, giving comfort and stability in positioning the guitar, allowing the right arm to move freely, to attend any technical needs without affecting the positioning of the guitar.
The Concert Cushion is based on an idea by the Uruguayan Guitarist Abel Carlevaro, given to the public domain in his "Escuela de la Guitarra". The Concert Cushion size 1 (3 cm = 1.2" high) is the model which better corresponds to the original idea of Carlevaro.
The Cushion is provided with side flaps (ca. 16 cm), which have basically the purpose to prevent it from slipping from the leg. The cushion allows a better adaptation of the guitar to the left leg and offers therefore more comfort in positioning the instrument. Further, it elevates the height level for resting the guitar on the left leg, allowing: a) better positioning and performance of the right hand above the 12th fret, as well b) a reduction in the height of a foot stand or even dispense with it (beginning with size 3), contributing to an improvement of the guitarist?s body posture.
The Concert Cushion is available in 6 different sizes (heights).
The Concert Towel, applied to the right leg, provides high stability in positioning the guitar, e.g. in combination with the Concert Cushion or any other accessory of support for the left leg.
All products are manufactured with a special material, made of a layer of polyurethane on fabric (cotton + polyester), which has an adherent characteristic when in contact with a smooth surface, such as the body of the guitar. The underside, which is in contact with clothes, has an additional layer of synthetic latex, so that the towel cannot slide on the leg. 90% handmade.
The inner material of the Concert cushion is foam (FPF) of high density and stable shape. In the form of a hexahedron, the foam of the Concert Cushion, due to its inherent flexibility and elasticity, adapts to the curves of the guitar and the leg, when in the play position, giving it the necessary stability. For this reason, it isn't necessary to make its edges or base round in order to follow the shape of the instrument and the leg. After testing, it was verified that there is no need to fasten these accessories to the leg to get more stability.
