I've given up on making this work for me.

Love the concept. It is well made. Service was friendly and quick to respond with suggestions, but I am convinced at this point there is no way to make this work with the combination of the instrument I play (greenhoe bach) and my large hand size. For me, it seems I get to pick between having the grip in a place it doesn't help at all or having it in the way of one of my valve levers. For a different instrument or someone with smaller hands this would likely be very helpful.

Had this for a few weeks, and the only use has been playing around with it trying to find an adjustment that works for me. Black leather w/orange stitching.

$45 OBO shipped to US. Cost for a new one is 50 GBP. Pics available on request.

Sometimes its tiny adjustments make a huge difference.

Sorry you couldn’t get it to work. . . Frustratingly I’ve managed to get it to work on other Greenhoe Basses which the RAF bands here use. I wish I could custom fit them all. <EMOJI seq="1f614" tseq="1f614">😔</EMOJI>
