Special features
A special feature of the fingerboard attachment is that - unlike other grip aids - it does not restrict or limit movements. On the contrary: the fingerboard attachment brings movements more into the flow. This is not only due to the design, but also to the material, which overall makes mass production impossible: each fingerboard attachment is cast, spread and reworked by hand. Other special features: The ResoundingFingerboard not only supports one thing, but has very effects on many aspects of practising. This is especially due to the fact that the finger attachment and the finger drop change and feel much lighter overall. This then allows for changes in e.g. fluency, trills, double-stop technique. It is also described that using the fingerboard attachment relaxes the arms. Users notice this because they feel that their shoulders are no longer pulled up so high. In combination with the changes that result from the relaxation of the fingerboard attachment, among other things, all types of vibrato benefit from this. Another advantage of the fingerboard attachment is that it can be used across methods and allows you to experiment with it yourself at any time.

With warm and supple fingers, you not only reach your goal faster: it is also much more pleasant and increases your well-being when making music.
Activate balance
The good news: you don't have to do much if you want to activate your balance while exercising: Stand on one of the utensils ... while playing ...
