Atkins' finger-supporting device which appeared in the Scientific American in January 1881. In 1881 Benjamin Atkins patented this new and useful device for supporting and exercising the fingers of players on keyboard instruments. Essentially it's a series of rings suspended from springs, so as to compel the user to put forth unwonted strength in depressing his fingers. In time this would foster a superior decision of touch with greater flexibility and rapidity of motion. | |
