"Skill in playing musical instruments is acquired only after prolonged practice which endows the performer's fingers with nimbleness, independent action and strength. The purpose of the invention is to replace this long, arduous study which, in the case of students of no great talent, is sometimes without success, by means of a mechanical device." ~ Georges Rétif, Inventor

Advertised for use by pianists, violinists, cellists
“I am using the Ochydactyl every morning for approximately 7 minutes per hand. It eliminates the tense exercises of pure velocity. It is particularly useful for the preparation of my concerts.”
"Spend a few minutes on the Ochydactyl before sitting down at the keyboard and you will see how easily, how light your fingers will fly."
"In 5 minutes it provides the same agility as an hour and a half of study."
