Dear Mr P. Ratt,

I have noticed a tendancy for the folks at Obnobling to label their instruments thus. It is bad enough to manage simulataneous aural digitization with a guitar, as you have experienced, but spare a kind thought also for my unfortunate patients with clarsachs.

But I have thought of two possible solutions!

The first is that you could ask a member of the audience to perform the aural digitization while you play away.

The second is that you could visit a theatrical or cinematic props purveyor and purchase a "false hand" which I believe are commonly found in productions of a certain genre in those artistic traditions. With the aid of a suitable mounting device, e.g. an adapted headphone holder or G-clamp, you could then affix this artefact such that it performs the necessary digital function. This second option has the advantage that it provides you with greater mobility on stage.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
