daviseri Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Wondering if i could have some made. Is that possible to do without being there in person? I play a 57 button wheatstone crane duet.
inventor Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I would have thought anyone who has a CNC Router could make you a pair of these. Inventor.

Theo Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I meant to ask if you have you designed the ergonomic handle that you would like to have made? There are many possibilities.
Don Taylor Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I would be interested in getting some ideas for ergonomic handles. I suspect it depends very much on what your hand issue is. In my own case it seems that pressure on the outer edge of the thumb when I push the bellows in causes the arthritis in my thumb joint to flare up. I am thinking of making some handles that are higher and wider so that I can close the bellows with the base of my palm raher than my thumb. I am also wondering if I should slope the height of the handle one way or the other. I am not sure which way - probably the thumb end should be higher? Any thoughts? Making new handles does not look too difficult if you have some wood-working tools.

I think that I will try to make something similar to the second set of Dolphin ergonomic handles (the black ones) but with a skinnied down bit where the thumb lies.
