Thanks.

I've looked at them, but found the price point too high for what they were. So out of curiosity I fashioned one out of a velcro cable wrap - which did what it was supposed to, but in the end found I really didn't need it.

Not true man, I've heard one of your songs, don't be so hard on yourself

Very nice, beautiful depth to the grain.

I have three, which I virtually never use. I'm not convinced that there would be enough demand to make a case for offering them.

I personally wouldn't, but I barely ever slap or two-hand tap. Maybe for recording, but then I'd be probably more likely to improvise a contraption (or grab one of my daughters' scrunchies...)

There's instructions floating around on the web somewhere about making something very similar with velcro tape.

I wouldn't, for the same reason others have mentioned. I rarely slap or tap or do any of that stuff.

I've always used a gf's hair elastic thingy. It's a metal head thing from the 80's.

I've seen many people use them quite effectively when doing 2 hand tapping.. Ariane Capp is a good example. Check her out on u-tube. When I was experimenting with tapping I used a hair scrunchie like Vic but it was a pain to get on and off, change strings etc. This is a good alternative.
my 2 cents

I was planning on getting a set to noodle around with, but at least for my playing style... it'd be a casual interest thing and kind of a toy... not a necessity. Again tho, just for my playing prefs and style.

They work great. I hear they're really useful when recording.

One of the studios here has a "Bluck" knob on their console.
I'd never noticed it, and asked the engineer about it.

"That's for when it blows, and sucks."

It was "a function free" knob they just made a label for, but it was a bit of an inside joke after that, to see when they "engaged it."
