I just got my hands on one of these Instrument holders.They are very handy and give you a bit of peace of mind when you go to the bar or the jacks.I dont know if any body else is supplying them but Kenny at the Folk Revolution in Glasgow sent me mine through the post. http://www.folkrevolution.co.uk/main.html
So you clamp your guitar, banjo or bouzouki to a table. I have seen many people lean instruments up against something or use a standard instrument stand, then their instrument gets knocked over or falls over. This is especially a problem in crowded pubs and people playing more than one instrument. Great idea. How about a bottle opener on the side?
It can also be used for a fiddle too. You get an extra piece which is attached to the "clamp" part. This holds the instrument and bow. It can be removed if you just want to use the prop for a guitar etc.
Has your guinea-pig been the subject of genetic experiments, and had its weight increased by 100 times ?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT !
Hobgoblin also stock them.
I did have to replace the soft bung on the end of the screw underneath, but I still think they're worth their weight in whatever, I'd re-cracked the neck of my old greek bouzouki in the months before I got my pub-prop, so I know of what I speak.
You can also hang your mandolin on them, on the little adaptor.d
When I first saw this topic, I thought it was going to be an Irish hat with Guinness can holders over each ear and a straw fixture on both sides down to your mouth. That way, you could keep drinking from the straws while playing. Someone may want to think of a more descriptive name. With fiddle included, this looks like a great companion for sessions. Thank you for the info.
I remember seeing a photo of his lordship's cat hisself fed on buckets of caviar. It was a Sumo Cat weighing in at around 100 pounds. It looks like a furry, mini water bed with a head at the top, tail at the bottom and stubby legs at the corners. Maybe this is Sumo Guinea Pig. Maybe we can set up a Sumo match.
Just bought one and it is excellent for floor standing instruments - does exactly what it says.
However, wouldn't work with a mandolin as the clamp part springs open from the weight of the mandolin and falls on the floor, which sort of defeats the object. Anyone come across other similar clamps on the market which can take abit more weight?
It's great to see the Pub Prop is still as popular as ever! I now handle production and distribution of the Pub Prop and, if anybody is struggling to get hold of ine, please let me know where you are based and I'll point you in the right direction. I can also help with spare or missing parts and advice. Check out www.stones-music.com. All the best
