GUEST,Sharyn Tech: Hand-Warming Devices for Outdoor Gigs (13) Tech: Hand-Warming Devices for Outdoor Gigs 12 Feb 18


Hello all. I busk outdoors during the morning commute (two-hour shifts). I play guitar and sing. If it is cold (say, below fifty degrees), I find that my hands get cold after an hour. Then I add knitted fingerless gauntlets and a cashmere poncho for added body warmth. Even so, sometimes my left hand gets cold and stiff in the last twenty minutes of my shift and it can be difficult then to change chords or get decent sounds. Has anybody used therapeutic pads or other warming devices? I'm thinking I could put something small in the palm of my hand underneath the gauntlet or even stick things to the backs of my fingernails. I know some of you, being geniuses, have probably already figured this out. Thanks for your help. Sharyn
