I love the look and finish of the Northfield Instruments neck rest, but they've been sold out forever. Does anyone know of another nicely finished mandolin neck rest?

And as if by divine intervention...it literally just came back in stock...only 30 mins after posting. HA!
So...thanks? :)
I logged in just now to tell you I got an email from Northfield that the neck rest is back in stock. But it looks like you got the same email. :)Quote:

I re-string my mando on a bath towel I have only used for re-stringing instruments on, I fold it in thirds the long way and then roll the end up just enough to act as a perfect neck rest. Doesn’t work quite as well for my octave mando or guitar, but I restring those less often.
I do love everything northfield does, so I will probably and up with one of those at some point anyway...
I use a shooters rest.

I use my Lap.
Thanks for the suggestions, all!
Like mandoid, I use my lap while re-stringing. The neck rests on my legs, and the body rests on an adjacent part of the couch that I'm sitting on, usually while watching a football game or a movie on the TV. This is the time-honored "couch potato position." Strictly old school! :cool:
P.S. My lap is very soft, particularly after Thanksgiving.

If on a table, I use a shoe. Most times, my lap.
My lap for re-stringing. A new, unused, unopened bag of kitty litter for any major work like installing frets. The bag conforms to the shape of the neck and holds it securely in place. Plus, I always have some on hand.
