Neat! I'll bet it could be adapted to handle mandolin OR guitar, and for more than just changing strings. I already feel the wood moving in my basement ...
At first, I thought that you'd composed "Lively Music to Change Strings By"!

Coo! I have always just used a couple of pillows of appropriate size.

Historically these were made out of wood. I never found a wood one but I grabbed this one many years ago. I don't remember paying this much for it.

Are the clamps lined with cork? I'm making one of these myself!

I’ve never used any form of jig or even a table when changing strings. I simply do it on my knees whilst sitting down, occasionally resting the wide end on a carpeted floor.
