Making music more accessible

[MiltyG565]

There are a lot of people out there right now trying to make creating music more accessible, by removing the barriers that people with physical limitations face with traditional instruments, and I think this is a great thing.

And even though these instruments are designed to break down the barriers for people with limitations, I think they serve a wider purpose again, being an instrument in their own right (frankly, I want one of them!), and perhaps breaking down the barriers for people who often say things like "I couldn't play guitar, I can't do that with my hands". These instruments are often great and practical in so many ways, and I hope this is the start of a musical journey for many people.

That's excellent. We all know how rewarding it is to create music and it should be available to absolutely everyone.
