As the current manufacturer of the ergonomic neck rack, what price
range do you all feel is fair for it? I've heard several comments
from members that they think it's a great neck rack but that it's on
the pricey side. So what do you all think is a fair price? Also are
there any additional options that you would like to see? I was
toying with the idea of coming up with a harp holder that would let
users put more than one harp on at a time so they could just rotate
it around to the one that they wanted to use.

An interesting roundup harp racks, but you omit the now defunct
Blues Tools
version that offered locking joints at the main pivot point plus the
option to
change the angle the harp addressed the mouth. The ergonomic
harpholder is
very similar. The only defect of the Blues Tools rack has is that
its bracket
it too narrow -- it won't hold a XB40 -- just the conventional 10-hole
diatonics. It cost about $30 -- I think.
Also, you omit the K & M ($30), which offers a sturdy, locking
pivot joint.
Like the Blues Tools, it is flat black, but the harp holder spring
apparatus
is wider than the Blues Tools. I bought mine at SPAH a few years
ago. I don't
know if it is still on the market. But it is a sturdy model compared
to the
standard coathanger versions with a thumbscrew that never holds.
Vern Smiths ergonomic harp rack is the best one on the page. The
only thing
holding it back from universal appeal is the price. Not that it
isn't worth
every penny. But many find it pricey at $200.
Check the K & M out at the page below:

The Lee Oskar and Hohner model shown on the page appear stronger
than the
older style coathanger racks -- but they don't appear that they
really compare
with the K & M rack, which has large twist tightening knobs on both
sides of the
pivot point.
Hope this helps
Phil
