Interesting; good price-(http://www.wincresearch.com/music.htm)
Seems like a circular variant of my first $2.00 MUTS, somewhat
claustrophobic for the right hand. Here is a repost; hope the font
works for this ascii drawing:

Bend the head end of a long bicycle spoke to fit under
thumbrest as shown (not as deep as crude art).

| Bicycle spoke bent at head end

| flip spoke nipple and thread back onto end
_______|_______
3 x 15" plexiglass lapboard on legs - drill 1/8" hole and let spoke sit
in hole; I added glued on "sandpaper" stair treads below to help grip.
If you want to keep spoke on the board, force nipple on further and
screw one on exposed threads BELOW the board.
