Abstract: A removably engagable string musical instrument hand support apparatus that includes a beam having a first end portion and a second end portion, a principal surface, a minor surface, and a peripheral surface. Further included are first and second extension members that both extend from the minor surface, wherein the extension members contact a body of the musical instrument and the beam forms a non-contacting scaffold adjacent to or over a string of the musical instrument. Also included is a flexible tie having primary and secondary end portions, the primary portion is threaded therethrough the beam and removably engages the instrument, wherein the secondary portion extends from the primary portion to form a lanyard that removably engages the instrument and continues to be threaded therethrough a cinch and the beam forming a hoop assembly also removably engaged to the instrument and threaded back through the beam and cinch.

Abstract: A removably engagable string musical instrument hand support apparatus that includes a beam having a first end portion and a second end portion, a principal surface, a minor surface, and a peripheral surface. Further included are first and second extension members that both extend from the minor surface, wherein the extension members contact a body of the musical instrument and the beam forms a non-contacting scaffold over a string of the musical instrument. Also included is an elastic finger having a primary end portion affixed to the peripheral surface and a secondary end portion affixed to an opposing peripheral surface, the primary and secondary ends both oppositely depend away from the beam towards the body with the ends having structure to removably engage opposing features of the body. Wherein the beam principal surface supports a user's hand over the musical instrument string for instrument playing.
