Marshall My wife had the same problems, so I made a very simple tool for her to use. I?got?a one inch dowel and attached a bass hammer on each end so that the hammers would hit an octave. To make it easier to hang onto to the dowel, and allow her to use her fingers and thumb to play different intervals, I attached a leather strap between the two ends, with enough room between the strap and the dowel for her hand. As far as ear plugs, I am sure Dianne Hoffstetter will give you some great advice which ones to get.

First, I've been tuning a lot lately and my left wrist is killingme.? I know one can get something to hit the keys, but my problem is doing the octaves.? Is there something I can get to wear that will end the agony?? ? Also ear protection is great.? Question is, would an audiologist know which ear plugs are best?? Is it possible to get ear plugs? that block out oo much and we wouldn't be able to hear the beats especially in the higher registers?? Thanks everyone. Marshall ?
