Anyone know who makes it, or if it's still available? I have a student who suffered a stroke and can't manage the spring loaded racks due to paralysis from the stroke.

I have seen a few modifications of things like recorders, but obviously it can't be a wind instrument. There are cognitive challenges involved, so playing by feel is an important element. I would be interested in hearing from or about others who have met this challenge. A tall order, I know.
