Jay, I've used Etudes on an R-13 and a B-12 for about two months now. I was
able to install them without drilling. At first I was concerned because they
seemed to cause my right hand to rotate somewhat in a clockwise position and
tilt a bit downward, but the end result seems to be that I have better finger
position and more flexibility with my right hand. I had been using a neck strap
due to previous shoulder surgery, but with the Etude I have discontinued its
use. It is very comfortable. My only concern is if it is sturdy enough to last
indefinitely. I'll let the list know if I run into problems in this regard.
