Hi all. I’m new to the list, and curious about the HG as I’m looking for a new instrument to learn. I have played guitar for many years but, in the last decade, the basal joint at the base of my left thumb has become increasingly arthritic. Consequently, I can no longer finger a fretboard without a lot of attendant pain. Watching the HG played, it doesn’t look as if it would stress the basal joint as the heel of the palm seems to rest on the keybox and the thumb doesn’t play a particularly active role in fingering the keys. Any thoughts on this?
I guess the real test will be to find someone who owns an HG and try it before investing in an instrument. If there is anyone on the list in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area that would be willing to let me try it out, I’d be appreciative.
