"The ToneRite® has made a dramatic difference in the tone of new instruments, and has helped to 'wake up' vintage instruments that haven't been played in years." Eric Schoenberg, Schoenberg Guitars
"All I know is the ToneRite works. It has caused several instruments in my shop to develop tone and response to a significant degree." Michael Lewis, luthier
"After one week with the ToneRite on the guitar, the voice of my LaVenezia opened-up beautifully!" Robert 'Bob' Benedetto, Benedetto Guitars, Inc.
The ToneRite is creating a buzz in the guitar world! This revolutionary device is based on the observation that the more an acoustic instrument is played, the faster it reaches its full tone and volume potential (its "play-in" period). The ToneRite applies direct vibration to a guitar at controlled frequencies, to simulate and accelerate the results that occur from actual playing. Many players report increased volume and dynamic range in their instruments after using the ToneRite.

The ToneRite is used between playing sessions; simply plug it into a wall outlet. It fits between the strings of a steel-string, archtop, classical or acoustic bass guitar (up to 2-5/32" / 55mm string spread) and rests against the bridge. The special Elastone feet are designed to safely and quietly maximize energy transfer to the instrument. The intensity of vibration can be controlled by a convenient dial on the power cord. The manufacturer recommends an initial usage of 72 hours, with subsequent usages to maintain and further "open up" the response of the instrument.
110 volts AC, 60Hz. Also available with international 220 volt 50 Hz. power adapter.
