Wrist Sock

(1/4) > >>

Huw Adamson:
It's probably not a new idea, but a few searches brought up nothing so I thought I'd share my latest fashion accessory. I find that, after playing my pokerwork for a long time, the worst strain I get is on my left wrist, where it pushes against the back corner of the melodeon. It is sanded/filed down to a curve, but that only does so much. My recent solution was a odd woolen sock from my sock draw, with the foot cut off, over the wrist - I'm surprised to say it has been incredibly  effective! I'm sure there are better alternatives for the fashion conscious, but it has improved my playing comfort immensely.

You make sure it's a left sock, though, otherwise you risk playing the melody on the basses.

The lovely Sharon Shannon, uses a sponge, for this purpose. I must say your sock is more elegant.

Sweat bands are a common answer. If they're not thick enough, medical wrist supports are good, albeit expensive.

John MacKenzie (Cugiok):
Not too expensive
