  • Patent number: 8901403
    Abstract: An improved adjustable stringed instrument apparatus, hereafter known as ‘support’, ‘instrument support’ or ‘guitar support’, that supports the instrument in playing position while the user is in the sitting position. The support attaches to the instrument using magnets and rests on the user's leg. It utilizes a leg rest connected via an adjustable support with a magnet housing at each end of the leg rest. This instrument support has several unique benefits over suction cup-type supports such as secure and reliable attachment to the instrument, non-marring attachment components, and the ability to be attached to a variety of imperfect surfaces and shapes. In addition, magnets have the unique ability to allow location of the support repeatedly at the exact desired location when it is secured to the instrument. Three discrete mechanisms on the support allow for vertical, horizontal, and angular adjustments of the instrument.
