VSP-Classic (The Soundpost Mate). violin Soul Mate, Is the most popular model.
    With lighter frame it will handle violin sizes from 1/8 all the way to full size viola. 

 VSP-PRO-2 offers heavier frame, thus the tool can be made bigger, more accurate and   easier to maneuver, especially when violin bridge is in place. Recommended for someone who resets sound post on regular basis.

 

VSP-PRO-2 plus  and  SM-PRO-plus include an extension arm that can be lowered to point to sound position, thus help with placement of the sound post. These tools are particularly useful with our Sound post Gauge, where measurement needs to be done at proper location. Difference between the two is cradle size. VSP  is optimized for .25 inch sound post, while SM s optimized for 6 mm..Although this difference does not affect the sound post setup, it helps withmeasurements with the gage. Violin SMG 2 gauge is 6 mm thus it will be held tight in the 6 mm SM tool cradle. Viola VSP G2 gauge is thicker and works best with VPSPro2Plus.

Basic Tool Concept
 A violin sound post setter tool that is user friendly. This patented tool holds the sound post securely in cradle  of the tool until it is ready to be set in new position. The holding clamp is made of very thin metal thus it makes it easy to insert the sound post through the f-hole. Because of unique design the tool can be used to grab the sound post and set it in a new location. The cradle of the tool is offset and unique shape of handle stem allows dual reach so the tool can be used for setting the sound post  in a smaller size violin as well as in viola. Unique handle design allows easy control, the tool handle end is formed to point to the sound post in tool cradle.
