ABSTRACT:
A primary exerciser and cooperating accessory for use by piano players. The primary execiser has an elongate base provided with an elbow stop designed to maintain the elbow of a user in position against rearward or significant sideways movement when the exerciser is in use, and a hand rest spaced ahead of the elbow stop along the elongate base. The hand rest is relatively thin and has a flat upper side sized to permit the forward part of the user's hand to rest on it palm down with the fingers stretched out ahead and the thumb tucked under its rear edge. This hand rest is mounted to slide back and forth from a rear stop position against the resistance of a spring that normally holds it at that position. It is also provided to rotate up and down around a transverse hinge axis near its front end. Additionally, the hand rest is mounted to permit swiveling movement to the right or left around a pivot point in its front portion. The accessory is fitted with spring-loaded keys and is designed for removable mounting on the primary exerciser for purposes of exercising the fingers. The primary exerciser provides exercise of the wrist in up and down movements as well as in such movements combined with sideways movements.
