The Soundbrace is a unique device that allows you to practice your guitar without having to carry it around with you. It consists of two wrist bands that track your fingers position and distance between your hands to mimic the guitar notes though the built in headphone jack.
Product Description
This product consists of two comfortable and easily adjustable wrist cuffs with built in headphone jack and micro-USB port. The Soundbrace is easily calibrated by wearing the paired wrist cuffs while playing on a real guitar. Once the device registers you’re playing style you can take them wherever you go and can practice whenever you want. Additionally the micro-USB allows you to synch with your computer as well as allows for charging of the devices.
Does it work?
Not having to carry a guitar around with you to practice is a huge weight off of your shoulders, literally. While it takes some getting used to you can begin rocking out in no time. Once the device is synched to your play style you can start practicing immediately. You can practice in transit, going to and from work, stuck in traffic, anyplace that you want to can be an impromptu practice session. No longer will you have to lug your guitar around to be able to practice at lunch or have to worry about potentially leaving it someplace or someone trying to run off with it. Additionally the two wrist cuffs are no larger than a regular watch band making them both unnoticeable with long sleeves as well as convenient to use. The best part is that you can rock out without disturbing everyone around you with the built in headphone jack. You can even attach speakers using the headphone jack to have your own jam session wherever you go.
Conclusion
Overall the Soundbrace is a wonderful tool for anyone looking to get in more practice time but either can’t or don’t want to have to bring their guitar with them wherever they go. However, you don’t get the same feel as you do with a real guitar. Generally speaking the Soundbrace is a great addition to your guitar playing arsenal but shouldn’t be a primary one. Of course you might get some funny looks in the subway or elevator while you practice but having the ability to get in a few minutes of practice on the go will keep your skills sharp outside of the practice sessions.
