Has anyone tried this thing?

I've been reading and hearing some glowing reviews about it.

More info from elsewhere in cyberspace on TonerRite :

"I'd like to point out that the concept of electro-mechanically driving an instrument top or the entire instrument is not new. I first came across the concept in 1964. A guitar maker by the name of Clyde Tinsdale was putting his instruments in a closet with a stereo speaker turned up loud to drive the instrument. About 35 years later, I wrote an article for Acoustic Guitar Magazine in the TimbreTech process that involved clamping instruments to an industrial shaker table and driving them hard for close to an hour with a frequency sweep from about 100 Hz up to 5K. A number of people have designed mechanical string plucking machines (and chicken plucking machines, too :-)). So patent, smatent; it may cover specifics of packaging, but I guarantee you, it won't protect the concept of artificially aging an instrument with vibrations.

That said, the ToneRite works, from what I can tell so far. And it's convenient. And it probably adds more than its cost in value to the tone of the instrument, and that's what really counts. That's for players to decide."
