Ingenious, but not robust enough for my needs
2 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Ingenious design achieving minimal contact with the back of the instrument. Capable of pretty extreme adjustments.

Cons: Not quite reliable enough, for me anyway. Also, the extent of adjustment didn't allow me to have the instrument in my favoured position. It didn't fall to pieces as I played, but it did change the angle at which I'd adjusted it - sometimes suddenly. I didn't like to be too aggressive with the adjustment screw for fear of damaging the slippery ball it was biting into. One was warned not to over-tighten.

Other: I'm pleased to have had the opportunity of trying this out, but have since opted for something less ingenious and more robust and stable, combined with a change of chinrest.
