Setting Guitar String Height

This was part of the package for the GL1 Guitalele - Nylon-String Guitar Ukulele (Natural) by Yamaha. It was all given as a gift and well received!

My first nylon string guitar of this type and I'm absolutely amazed at how nice this is. It's a very light yet solidly built guitar. Fit and finish is stunning. Playability is easily comparable to guitars of this type that are more than twice the price. Very pleased with this guitar.

Works very well on my Cordoba nylon string classical guitar. Firm pressure, grip is effective but doesn't damage anything. Easy to use.

I'm a jazz guitarist playing an 8-string classical guitar that goes higher and lower than a regular guitar. It has a K & K pickup and I my amp is a JBL EON powered speaker, which, for this instrument sounds better than any jazz guitar amp. I have used the Zoom A-3 preamp as well as an L.R. Baggs Venue DI. They are both very good but I'd say the Grace Alix is the best I've found. It has great features you can read about but I must say that the sound of my guitar with the EQ set flat is strong, clear and simply amazing! It's very well thought out. Worth the price.

I am 6'3, 225lbs. I needed the 75XXL for the correct barstool height for playing guitar. This product seemed expensive at first, but they made such bold claims about it, I decided it was worth ordering, and if I was not satisfied, simply return it. When it arrived, I was surprised at how light it is (it felt like an empty box), but upon inspection, I could easily see and feel the quality of the manufacturing, materials, and smart design. The Comfort 75XXL is every bit as sturdy and well built they say it is, and worth paying more for, because it is the best of its kind I've seen. Glad I own it.

I've been recording all kinds of concerts for the last few decades, and one super-reliable one-size-will-fit-almost-all approach for orchestras is two small diaphragm condensers, up over the conductor's head, splayed out sideways. (The ORTF style specifies an angle of 110 degrees, the NOS configuration is 90 degrees. Both have their unique strengths.) These Lewitt LCT 140's are spectacular in this application: over the weekend I recorded a tracker organ (which means mechanically operated- other than the electric blower fan, this is the kind of organ Bach knew and loved) concert in an 1800's church, and the results were amazing. The different registers and voices came through distinctly, and the rumbling of the pedals was earthquake-like. The weekend before that, it was a cello-guitar duo, and the mikes were placed on knee-high stands in front of each player. Again, the capture was thrilling, larger than life- the guitar crisp and punchy, the cello sweetly singing. This was all with the "flat" setting, as opposed to the "high end sparkle accentuation" setting, which seems like a wonderfully slick way to heighten the clarity of some instrument meant to have the central focus. The onboard pad and low cut options are also fabulous to have, when you need to contend with the rigors of the real world, which can get noisy and can be unpredictable at times. For many years I was using Oktava MK-012's for these kinds of duties, and later Avant CK-1's, fantastic mikes indeed, but from now on it'll be the Lewitts. Since these are so lightweight, you'll want special shockmounts (I got the Rycotte Inv-6 softies). And if you still need convincing: check out ANY of the multiple Youtube videos where people put these to the test- music, voice, sound effects, whatever. There is just something about the accuracy, the precision, the truthfulness of these things... you will be a believer, I guarantee.

This is a big stand. No two ways about it. I don't use the full height very often, but the base is wide enough that I can confidently use it indoors with hot shoe flash setups and medium-sized modifiers without bothering to bring sandbags, lightening my load considerably. There's no substitute for a ton of weight to secure a stand, so I still use weights when setting up a seamless, boom, big modifier, or studio strobe. And yes, it handles all of that with no trouble. I now own three of these, and on the first one, I made the mistake of tightening down one of the column locks hard enough to dent the pole. It still works well, but binds when raising and lowering the the bottom section. In hindsight, the locks work well enough that surprisingly little force is required when setting them.

Im using it on its lowest height setting (which is perfect for what Im doing) and its incredibly stable, even on slightly-padded carpet.  TBH, wasnt expecting it to be this good, especially at this price.

The 55 X height works well for me , not too low, not too high, for both setting and getting up. I found the netting carry bag a bit clumsy for me to reliably use, so I attached a tripod carry strap to a loop provided on the seat, and a slip loop that is self tightening on the far end of the legs. When setting up the slip loop can simply dangle at the crossing of the legs, or be removed from the legs and thrown in the seat and sat upon while resting. Beyond the bag issue the stool is light, strong ,and quickly setup. It should last for many years.

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.
