The behemoth of harp holders, at first glance this looks more like a medieval torture method than an aid to making beautiful music!
Designed to have more adjustments than most holders, this rack allows most players to fine tune the position their harp is held in to a far greater extent than your average bargain rack. As someone who has eaten perhaps one or two more pies than would be sensible, I have tried a few 'basic' holders over the years, and have never found one that is comfortable (or big enough for my fat neck!). Despite appearances this solved that problem for me, and it may work for you as well!
In use, it is not really noticeable, and doesn't feel heavy, although at first I was very aware that it was black instead of the much more common (or possibly ubiquitous) silver-steel. The knobs to adjust the various positions seem pretty solid, and things stay where you put them - I have fairly limited experience, but so far it hasn't slipped out of position while in use.
The actual holder section is rubber-padded to protect your harp, and the springs are pretty strong - your precious harp will not fall out when playing, but protecting your fingers and not dropping your harmonica while putting it in and taking it out can take a bit of practice at first.
Overall, not the cheapest on the market by a long stretch, but it is solid and feels as if it will last for many, many years. Most importantly, it's flexibility allows variations in positioning that most racks do not, so if you have struggled with cheap racks in the past, this could be the answer.
