Great product! A tip for your R&D team, make it flat pack to save on delivery costs! Funnily enough, I have been working on one particular flatpack solution which not only saves on delivery costs, but also completely eliminates the manufacturing costs!

Of course, Mr. Hartley has no knowledge of the potential patent infringement, as yet. If there could be, perhaps, some small consideration for the maintenance of the status quo ? Only the very brave or foolish would attempt blackmail on a public forum; I like your style! That's a terrible, terrible thing to say. Anyone can see that it's simple extortion. In pink ? You're on, John. Incidentally, Mr. Hartley fell off an overpass early this morning, practicing his cast.

Horror of horrors! Industrial espionage strikes right here on acousticsoundboard ! Plucky and innovative entrepreneur Joe, aka Mike Floorstand, unwittingly finds himself at the centre of a fight for patent production and rights! These crafty people - www.notonthehighstreet.com/boingstands/product/guitar-stand - seem to have stolen Joe's idea and scaled it up to provide guitar players with somewhere to stand their instrument! As if that sort of thing would catch on. Joe - remain under turd undeterred and tough it out. If the worst comes to the worst I'll forfeit 5% of my celebrity endorsement fees towards a fighting fund, then we can buy these people out, and start giving away a free guitar stand with every plectrum stand.

Due to my very good relations to retailers in all of mid Europe I'm quite sure that I am the right sales agent for the continent for a business roll out. Funny you should mention that, @bernd, you're mentioned in a song I have written (but not yet recorded) in exactly that capacity... waiting for the snow Looking forward to hear that one, Leo! First snow this autumn came down yesterday, but didn't last. Luckily.

The only flaw in an otherwise perfect design could be , if using the stand to hold multiple plecrums could they rub together and possibly scratch each others surfaces . I'm very protective of my picks and always give them a bath and polish after each use after all they're worth it . So bearing that in mind how about simple dividers so plectrums are seperated by a mm or so .This could be the ultra deluxe Mach 2 model ;-)

Blimey! You must have a lot of plectrums! Or maybe you just know a lot of guitarists, and you're getting them all a very special present. Keith

Keith I think I own 5 plectrums Oooh, so, if you keep one stand per plectrum (even though all 5 would fit in one stand) then you have 45 to give away - your friends are in for a treat eh. Generous man! Unless you're going to be selling them at a hefty mark up in dodgy pubs... Keith
