When to choose it

Choose this rest when you want its pivoting head to meet the neck at the working angle. Check that the base sits firmly on the bench before placing the instrument in the cradle.

The rotating contact can help when turning the instrument to reach the other side of the neck. Check the contact material and finish guidance rather than assuming the cradle fits every neck profile.

Questions about this product

Does this include a work mat?

The offer is for the rotating cradle. A separate mat may be useful if you need bench protection.

How does it differ from a fixed block?

Can the cradle hold the instrument while it stands upright?

Use it only in the supported positions described for the product. It is intended as a maintenance cradle.
