MessageDear List,

I am contemplating getting some type of support brace for my pounding =
hand and was wondering what any of you 4-5 tunings-a-day people use to =
reduce wear and tear on your hand(s).

One way I've been able to reduce pounding damage is by learning to tune =
with my opposite hand: not only does it reduce stress on my limbs but it =
also increases my tuning speed so that I don't have to shift position at =
either end of a grand; I just switch hands if I need to. I've also =
gotten a more ergonomic tuning lever.

Even by doing that I still feel discomfort in my hands, especially after =
a heavy day of tuning. If anyone has any suggestions, a brand name to =
try or if it's better to see a specialist about this sort of thing, I =
eagerly await your post.

Matthew Lavender
