Guitar for one handed people

About the solution

His therapist, Jason Kenner, from Australia, had the idea of creating, in 2014, a device which is a cross between a guitar and a harp so that Dinh can play using only one hand.

"We took the idea of a harp and incorporated that into a guitar body and built this little guitar harp for Dinh to play. It's been re-tuned so it sounds more like the harp with a pentatonic scale and so it allows him to play beautiful nice little melodies”, the inventor explained.
The design of the device allows the user to sling it over the shoulder and hold it in front of him.

Dinh instantly adapted to his new instrument, and his therapists believe it can improve his condition, having allowed the patient to connect with the world through his passion for music.

"It's bringing some of his passions that he has had all of his life, he's able to re-engage with them in a more meaningful way with another person. But you could argue that the level of activity and being present and being stimulated can lead to better engagement in other activities”, Jason expressed.
