"What a marvelous idea! I saw one for the first
time today. I can't help but think that some day soon, every violinist and violist will have one. Once people
have had chance to try it, it's going to really catch on!" - MB

"Brian Wicklund gave me a Happynex to try. The
short answer is that I love it! Now I only use my head for balance and don't use any weight at all to hold the violin.
This means it's actually comfortable! I can play for a couple of hours without any strain or pain. I didn't
think that would ever be possible! You've invented a terrific product and should feel very proud of it. Congratulations
and thank you!" - LKC
"This is a great idea! Like most good ideas it seems
simple and logical. Good luck with it!" -KD

"I wanted to write you because I am so grateful for
all your thought in creating this marvelous sling. I was a professional viola player and teacher until I broke my shoulder
in 1996. After a botched repair by a well meaning surgeon, I was unable to play. Much sadness and emotional upset
ensued. ...My life, with a shoulder replacement
and a year of physical therapy has new meaning. The sling provides support where I need it. Now I can play a page of
music or more without being tired. Before, I struggled so hard I put the violin down after each line." -

"I like it! It really does reduce the amount of effort
I have to expend keeping the fiddle in place. I probably wouldn't perform with one, but I do like practicing with
it. Who knows, if I get comletely addicted to it, I might *have* to perform with it :-) Anyway, its a nice product,
and I wish you succes with it." -BL
"Being introduced to
the Happynex after a wrist injury was one of life's miracles. My wrist would start to hurt after 15 minutes of holding
my heavy 15 3/4 viola. This is a life saver for those suffering from any kind of pain that would diminish their performance
techniques. I play in a rock band so I need
to be able to move freely on stage. This gives me that freedom to grab a drink or play the tambourine all while having
my viola right at my finger tips. It was a
bit snug at first under the armpit. With a few adjustments, I got it right where it fits comfortably on my body. I'm a proud user of Happynex." - TP

"You're right! The Happynex
support works with or without a chin or shoulder rest. But, after playing around with various configurations, I found
it works best for me when I just add the Happynex to the setup I already had. After auditioning a number of chin rests
and shoulder rests, I thought I was pretty comfortable. A friend of mine let me try her Happynex, and now I can't imagine
playing without one! This really is 'the next generation of playing comfort.' Thanks Karen!" - LM
