Description:
A remix of the Salvation Guitar Pick Adapter with a thermoform-able base, for a custom fit on longer residual limbs, or against the palm.
You can see the adapter in action here:
I can wear it for 6-8 hours straight without circulation issues. It also greatly sped up my recovery from my amputation by giving me regular physical therapy from playing again.
Make sure not to tighten the strap too tight so it cuts off your circulation. Use at your own risk, and check with your doctor before using.
To put it on:
Put the big back loop over your arm. Then stretch the front loop over.
Then adjust the tension between the two sides by sliding your finger under the strap on the loose side and sliding toward the strap hole so the tight side gets the slack, and equalize the tension.
To position it, hold your arm out straight in front of you. To play electric guitars or thin bodied instruments, the adapter should point out at 9 o'clock for the right side, 3 o'clock for left. I adjust it to 10 o'clock/2 o'clock for acoustic guitars with a thicker body.
