One fine day Terrance Bloom asked:

TB> I have a Pt who has a very short R congenital BE. He does not use a
    prosthesis, but would like to learn to play guitar. He is looking
    for a inexpensive device that could assist him.

Chord Master in McCallister, OK makes a device called E-Z Chord which is
attached to the neck of a guitar and allows the user to make chords by
pressing one finger on the device. If your client is at all motivated,
he will figure out how to use this device to make music.

He should also contact Bill Baughn < <Email Address Redacted> >, the moderator
of ARM-AMP listserv at St. John's University. Bill is married to a
bi-lateral BE amputee and over the years has made numerous inexpensive
devices for arm amputees to accomplish a myriad of goals.

E-Z CHord is available from most music stores and sells for about $25
US.
