Kinesthetic musical instrument position trainer, corrector, and up-motion muscle strengthener for fingers, hands, wrists, and arms, and practice device simulator

Abstract

The present invention is embodied in a position training device for kinesthetic musical instrument instruction comprising an instrument component and a bow component. The instrument component comprises a main instrument shaft oriented along a main instrument axis and having a proximal end and a distal end, a chin piece attached to the proximal end of the main instrument shaft, and an instrument orthotic grip attached to the distal end of the main instrument shaft and oriented along the main instrument axis. The instrument orthotic grip has a thumb depression, an index finger depression, a middle finger depression, a ring finger depression, and a pinkie finger depression formed thereon. The bow component comprises a main bow shaft oriented along a main bow axis and having a first end and a second end, a bow orthotic grip attached to the first end of the main bow shaft and oriented along the main bow axis, and a bow tip piece attached to the second end of the main bow shaft. The bow orthotic grip has a thumb depression, an index finger depression, a middle finger depression, a ring finger depression, and a pinkie finger depression formed thereon. The bow component can be moved substantially perpendicularly relative to the instrument component in order to simulate the playing of a stringed musical instrument.
