Hi Jen:

Might you be able to provide a link to the product you use? I seem unable to find it on the internet. Thanks.

Also, how adept, in your opinion, would you say this setup you use is at preventing/reducing the tendency for the instrument to rock from side to side as fingerings of notes might be inclined to catalyze?

(Of course this observation brings up a wealth of opinions from the Kal Opperman school of thought about how fingering is a gentle process where, among other attributes, pinkies find themselves on top of keys not otherwise pressed down to stabilize the instrument, and how the throat key springs are made super loose, discussed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shstbi-WChM.)
