Proper posture
Healthy back
Healthy back
🎸 Why
📐 Problem
Classical on left leg. Without footrest: bent back, tension, wrong angle. Long playing = pain. Bad posture = bad technique.
✅ Solution
Footrest: raises leg → correct angle (~30–45°). Support: attaches to guitar → both feet flat. Cushion: between leg and guitar. Result: health + technique.
🎯 Who
Classical: essential. Acoustic (fingerstyle): recommended. Flamenco: footrest standard. Children: posture formation. Long practice: prevents pain.
🦶 Footrests
📐 Principle
Metal platform under foot: adjustable (4–6 positions, 10–26 cm). Classic method (conservatory, 200+ years). Simplest and cheapest.
🎵 +/−
Pros: simple, cheap, doesn't touch guitar. Cons: asymmetric posture (spine load at 2+ hours). Trend: support instead.
📐 Models
K&M 14640: standard (6 positions, metal). Hercules FS100B: 5 positions, foldable. Stagg FOS-A1: budget. K&M = standard.
🎸 Guitar Support
📐 Principle
Attaches to body (suction cups, clamp). Raises guitar without raising leg. Both feet flat = symmetric. Healthier. Recommended by physiotherapists.
🎵 +/−
Pros: symmetric, both feet, adjustable angle. Cons: pricier, attaches to guitar. Long sessions = support > footrest.
📐 Types
Suction: Ergoplay (2 cups). Clamp: Gitano (side). Cushion: Dynarette (no attachment). Frame: Sageworks. Suction = most popular.
🛋️ Cushions
📐 Dynarette
Foam wedge cushion on leg. Guitar on top. No attachment. Both feet flat. S/M/L. Simplest support. May slide.
📐 Others
A-Frame/Neck-Up: frame on leg. Guitar Cushion. DIY: rolled towel. Cushion = cheapest support without attachment.
🇩🇪 K&M
📐 Footrests
14640: standard (6 positions, rubber platform). 14650: wider. 14670: ergonomic (tilt). K&M footrest = #1.
📐 Support
14760: Ergo-rest (suction). 14761: ergonomic. K&M = footrest standard + some supports.
🇩🇪 Ergoplay
📐 Models
Tröster: standard (most popular). Tappert: wider. Johannes: minimalist. Professional: extra fixation. Adjustable. Tröster = standard.
🎯 Why
Healthy posture. Adjustable. Suction cups don't damage. Concert quality. Pricier than footrest. For serious classical.
🌍 Others
📐 Gitano
Clamp on side + suction. Cheaper than Ergoplay. Clamp may leave minimal mark. Budget support.
📐 Hercules
FS100B: footrest (5 positions, foldable, EZ Adjustment). HA100: support (frame). Reliable. K&M alternative.
📐 More
Sageworks: magnetic (premium). Wolf: suction (Argentina). SupportO: budget suction. Stagg/Proel: budget footrests.
🎸 By Guitar
📐 Classical
Essential. Footrest: K&M 14640 (tradition). Support: Ergoplay Tröster (health). Cushion: Dynarette (simple). Conservatory → footrest. Health → Ergoplay.
📐 Acoustic
Sitting without strap: footrest or Dynarette. Ergoplay: check body shape (dreadnought ≠ classical). With strap: not needed.
📐 Flamenco
Footrest standard (right foot!). K&M 14640. Lower than classical. Supports rare (tradition).
