Hello O&P colleagues,

This summary is very delayed, so please excuse my lateness with it. I
got several repeats or duplicate responses, so I have not credited
each response to a particular practitioner... I felt that this would
just clutter up the responses. Thanks to all of you who did respond.

Bill Lifford, C.P.

SUMMARY OF RESPONSES:
I remember Hosmer making a pool cue holder that might work. It had a
swiveling cuff that held the cue with the back hand.

You can check out TRS. These used to have a very nice one that we have
used
a couple of times. Ask Bob Radocy (spelling?).
phone# is 1-800-279-1865
web address is www.oandp.com/trs

you could posibly drill a hole in the end of the bow...place a ring key
holder(key ring) in the end and have the patient use a TD of
choice...hook
hand or whatever...that way it will still glide over the strings with
out
having to lift up...

TRS does have an adapter called the TRS Violin Adapter. I don't know how
it
actualy works or if it'sa good device, but it could be worth a look.
The adress is : TRS, 2450 Central Avenue, Unit D, Boulder, Colorado USA
80301-2844...Phone: 1-800-279-1865, Fax: 303-444-5372

Interesting.....You might try I-CAN, a list for parents of young amps-
-usually congenitals. Some of them might play violin without benefit
of a terminal device. Bill Clements plays bass with one hand, and
there are piano pieces written for one hand... you might drop a note
to Bill Baughn < <Email Address Redacted> > and see if he will post your
query on I-CAN or his ARM-AMP list at St. John's University.
