anybody interested in an ipad holder simliar to tab rack?

gang -

i'm working on an ipad holder that attaches to the front left leg of a steel, and holds an ipad. the base of the ipad would rest against the high-string tuners.

if you're familiar with bradshaw's tab rack, it would be a modified version of one of the tab rack supports, modified to hold the ipad at a comfortable angle, without blocking as much of your view (and an audience's view of you, when performing) as a tab rack.

i started thinking about this because i have maybe 450+ tunes in onSong (which allows easy transposing, click track, and auto-scrolling lyrics), and a ton of .pdf charts in goodreader (fantastic app).

i'm taking a little poll, which may affect how many i plan on building. if you're interested, please reply here.

thanks!

I envision a day when everybody in the band will have an iPad networked to a server with charts, or the written score, for every song in the world, and when they need one, bam, it pops up. Imagine a symphony orchestra with iPads instead of reams of paper that they have to shuffle through to find the next fugue. Tim Cook should be working on that.

I'd be interested in an iPad holder on the guitar. I would suggest a simple frame for the pad rather than a shelf.

I would use one. I have one now that uses a mic stand . The shelf doesn't work for me either though. Not secure enough. Needs to clamp in. Adjustable angle is important also.

Btw: Cal, I've been sending charts and lyrics across the stage to other players during shows already. It's amazing how well it works.

I'm currently using a photography tripod with a projector stand on top as a shelf. I put two of the legs over the pedal bar with one sticking out and adjusted in height to be level with the guitar and have a laptop on it. I do have a pad that I would use,but is too unstable to sit on a flat surface where you can see it.
Bottom line is that I would be interested in one as you have pictured above.
