The Voyager from Le Support is my favourite new guitar support and I highly recommend it. It has the same secure non-slip contact on both legs as the professional model but with a more portable design making this support a winner in terms of playability and practicality.
See the full video review on the site.

Sorry to hear about the passing of one of my heroes of the music world. I got to hang out with the great Kazuhito Yamashita for a weekend long ago and I learned so much about art, guitar, and the world. He also did a class for my students where they each had to play one movement of a Bach cello suite so over the whole class we got to hear the entire suite. It was so challenging for the students on very short notice, but so amazing too. Always creative, always caring, and always pushing life into the music.
