What to use, A Gitarno or footstool?

Since the arrival of the Classical guitar, players have always found the need to elevate the instrument in order to achieve a comfortable playing position. It started off with a crude stool, and has made way for the more well crafted and adjustable footstool. The footstool has been of great help to guitarists over the generations, and is a vital piece of the musicians inventory.

However, over recent years there has been a greater demand for the use of a Gitarno. The Gitarno achieves the same results as a footstool, with the only difference being that you do not need to lift the leg up. This may seem insignificant, however, this minor adjustment can help the guitarist maintain a perfectly straight back whilst playing, and reduces the risk of any back strains or, in the worst cases, developing Sciatica in your left leg whilst trying to learn a final repertoire at College!
