AmpClamp, Simple Practicality

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Entrepreneurship is happening everywhere every day with all sorts of interesting and useful devices, but every once in a while, something comes along that is so simple, so elegant in design that you look at it and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” The AmpClamp guitar stand is just such a design. It is planned to keep fine musical instruments safely displayed on stage or in between practice sessions at home without taking up valuable floor space or endangering performers.

The AmpClamp begins with a base part that resembles a carpenter’s bar clamp. This means it can attach quickly and firmly to almost anything. From this base a sturdy bar extends upward, and a standard two-prong guitar hanger can be folded down from it. As the name implies, a good place to fasten the AmpClamp is to an amplifier. Since amps are likely to already be onstage or near the stage, and they are very sturdy, in moments the stand can be securely anchored to one – ready for your guitar when you need a place to put it. Since the stand is now using the same floor space as the amplifier, your guitar is no longer competing with performers for a place on stage. This means that not only is your instrument safer, but so are the other performers on stage. No more chance for tripping over the legs of a guitar stand and breaking an ankle at the least convenient moment possible. “Break a leg” should be only a means of wishing a performer good luck. It should not become an actual event on stage.

Speaking of performers, the AmpClamp is endorsed by guitarist, Bobby Cochran. Cochran played with such well known bands as Steppenwolf and Leon Russell, and now has a successful independent career as a musician, producer, singer and songwriter.

Less equipment on stage means less to breakdown and put away at the end of the show. The AmpClamp is a star here, too, because it folds up compactly and is easy to stow with your other gear. Anyone who has ever tried to pack up a high school band and had difficulty loading the big bass drum knows the value of compact storage.

Von Saint Design has this sleek invention well on its way to becoming a product. It has made its way through the design and prototype process, the manufacturer has been selected. Now, Von Saint need your help to make it a reality. Of course they don’t plan for anyone to make a contribution without receiving rewards.

Every venture has a certain amount of risk, but Von Saint Designs already has a successful design on the market: the Door Jammer. This shows that they understand the process of bringing a product to market. Furthermore, according to their website, they are working on two more designs – one for a kitchen aid, and another that will be a personal security device. Even if you cannot invest in the AmpClamp, Von Saint Design might very well be a company worth keeping an eye on. There is a good chance that there will be more of these simple, practical inventions that make you say, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”
