inventor Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I would have thought anyone who has a CNC Router could make you a pair of these. Inventor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I meant to ask if you have you designed the ergonomic handle that you would like to have made? There are many possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Some examples from John Dipper of handles supplied with his anglos http://www.johndipper.co.uk/concertinas/fittings.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
