So after wandering around the local DIY store for an hour wondering what I could use, I came away with some soft steel and some aluminum bar and some heat shrink tubing used for electrical connections. A hour later I had a simple but effective frame which worked. Firstly with the steel and later with the aluminum.<\/p><p>The bars were simple bent to hug the body of the instrument and were held together by plastic ties. The elasticity of the ties actually acted as a spring, helping to hold the guard onto the body. Where the bar came into contact with the body I protected it with the heat-shrink plastic.<\/p><p>I played with this system for over a year and I was comfortable playing with it but I did have to replace the plastic ties which broke a couple of times and I added an elastic band to help give it more grip.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caf0601 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"caf0601\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-365874c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"365874c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sustain Frame Version II<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3df3c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3df3c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Taking into account the pros and cons of first protoype I looked for something a bit more permanent and solid.
