Some men walk through their garage and see old crutches and pool noodles.
I saw the Mandolin Noodle Crutch. Behold!

Wow. I mean gee....uh....nice.
Looks similar to what we used in medical school for circumcision!
Ouch!
"Put your hands to the wood
Touch the music put there by the summer sun and wind
The rhythms of the rain, locked within the rings
And let your fingers find The Music in the Wood."
Joe Grant and Al Parrish (chorus from The Music in the Wood)
ROTFL! Scott, how can I keep from posting smart a**ed comments when you use medical students and circumcision in the same sentence!

if that won't guard the tone from getting out, nothing will.
I feel sorry for the mandolin.
Is this the darker side of mando-porn?
The mandolin will not fit in my case with the noodle crutch on.
Here I was thinking this would be a thread about "improvising" on a melody when it turns into a device made by the Spanish Inquisistion... "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

It's kinda cool, but what does it do??

It's obviously a neck stretcher. Kinda works the opposite of a capo.

Do you see the wealth of knowledge found here on the cafe? I never would have known that mandolins need traction if not for this thread.
Might be a good way to pad a violin stand I guess.

That used for Enhanced Interrogation of your mandolin?, perhaps a Re-Education Program..
to make It change It's Tone?

But seriously, what is it for? Does it hold the instrument for repairs or re-stringing?

It appears that it holds it still so that it can be tuned more easily. Right? (I can tell by the rotary stand, enabling the unit to be turned as needed)
Looks like something my wife could use to stop me from playing so much. Hope she doesn't get one for Christmas.

Joyful pickin'!
I got it! FLOTATION!! The metal legs are to help ward off river hazards. On the next float trip down the Sacramento River, just tie up the mando to your inner-tube full of PBR and ya have a sure-fire babe-catcher: music + alcohol! Brilliant!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."

Catmandu2 has is right. Whenever I change strings or do anything to the mandolin, I always wish I had 4 hands. I am laughing out loud with some of the responses this posting has gotten.
When I change strings, I approach the mandolin and say, "Say ahhhh."
When I'm done, I do a little jig and scream, "It's alive! Alive!!!"
i recon if you motorized that lazy susan, you could get that
F-style to regurgitate it's virzi!
