Ideal ergonomic posture

Ergoplay allows the player to maintain the correct posture for playing. The best way to achieve a straight spine and a healthy pelvic posture is to keep both feet on the floor. You will be able to breath more easily and practising and performing will be more fun.

Improved playing technique

Holding the guitar correctly makes it easier to play with a correct technique. Play without getting tired and concentrate longer.

The concert guitarist benefits from Ergoplay since, with an upright posture they can practise or play concerts longer. A healthy ergonomic seated posture promotes concentration and, crucially, gives a better impression on stage.

Ergoplay allows the guitar to be held in such a way as to allow the base to vibrate freely giving you noticeably more volume

Regular tours through Europe, Corea, Japan and the USA as a soloist and chamber musician documents his international image.
