Interesting, but don't you mash your knuckles into the stretcher when you play sharps?

  My occasional wrist tendonitis is greatly relieved by a home made striking device (see photos below).

  Wearing a wrist brace by itself (available at medical supply 
  stores) does not relieve much of the impact stress on the wrist tendons. But gluing a felt striker onto the brace directly under the wrist, relieves all of the pressure, and feels very good. It even feels like a massage. The brace has a metal bar that distributes the impact over several inches along the underside of your wrist. 

  Since this prosthesis places your hand farther forward, it is best to remove the fallboard.
