PROEL FC600 - Adjustable Metal Footrest with Non-Slip Surface
Instantly improve your posture and technique with the Proel FC600 , a footrest designed specifically for guitarists seeking stability and comfort during long practice or performance sessions. Manufactured by the renowned Italian brand Proel, a leader in musical accessories, this stand is an essential tool for both students and professionals of classical, acoustic, and electric guitar who play seated.
Unlike flimsy plastic options, the FC600 stands out for its robust metal construction , guaranteeing exceptional durability and resistance to intensive daily use. Its ergonomic design allows you to raise the supporting leg (usually the left for right-handed users) to the optimal height, aligning the spine and relaxing the shoulders to prevent muscle strain and fatigue. Its matte black finish gives it a sleek and professional look, ideal for stages, conservatories, or home studios.
The playing surface features a high-quality, non-slip rubber coating that ensures your foot stays firmly in place, regardless of the type of shoe. Additionally, its legs include rubber reinforcements that protect the floor from scratches and prevent the bench from sliding while you play, providing a solid base so you can focus solely on your performance.
Main Features
-
Versatile height adjustment: It features a 5-position adjustment system, allowing the height to be adjusted between approximately 10.5 cm and 20 cm to suit the height and preferences of each musician.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Made entirely of heavy-duty steel, designed to withstand foot pressure without deforming or wobbling.
-
Total grip surface: The platform where the foot rests is covered with a textured rubber sheet that maximizes friction and comfort.
-
Portable and foldable design: It folds completely flat, making it easy to carry in your guitar case's accessory bag without taking up significant space.
-
Guaranteed stability: The four legs end in non-slip rubber stoppers that isolate the metal from the floor and anchor the stand firmly.
Benefits for the Musician
Using the Proel FC600 transforms the seated playing experience. By raising your knee, the guitar neck naturally sits at the correct angle, facilitating access to the entire fretboard and improving left-hand (or right-hand for left-handed) technique. This is crucial for:
-
Postural health: Helps maintain a straight back, drastically reducing the risk of lower back and neck pain associated with bad posture.
-
Improved execution: By stabilizing the instrument against the body, the need to hold the neck tightly is reduced, freeing the hand for more agile and precise movements.
-
Extended comfort: Allows for longer study sessions without the physical discomfort that often interrupts concentration.
Use Cases
-
Classical Guitar Students: Essential for adopting the correct academic posture from the first day of class.
-
Live Musicians: Ideal for acoustic or jazz guitarists who play seated on stages and need a discreet and reliable stand that won't fail in the middle of a performance.
-
Studio Recording: Perfect for maintaining a relaxed and quiet posture (no chair creaking or instrument movement) during long takes.
-
Home and Practical: A compact accessory that can be stored in a drawer or left mounted in the music corner.
