The project is done for the Department of Design Engineering at TU Delft to investigate musculoskeletal injuries amongst guitarist; it focusses on using scientific research to allow musicians to play at their full potential while avoiding injuries. The market for electric guitar is expanding; the instrument itself, being a relatively new one, has scope for evolving further. From market analysis and technical research, the need for an instrument focussed on ergonomics was determined. Rather than competing against major players such as Fender and Gibson, a business strategy that taps a void in the market is proposed. Guitar players tend to be conservative in terms of preference of instruments; any radical change in the design of the instrument involves a lot of risk. However, an attachment that helps overcome any ergonomic limitations of the instrument offers market potential. It offers a low cost alternative to buying expensive custom guitars that fit the body better. So, it is also important that the attachment works well with existing guitars. The design will provide more freedom to the user in various playing scenarios such as two handed tapping, percussive playing etc. by allowing the instrument to be manoeuvred during the act of playing. Hence, the scope of the assignment encompasses designing, prototyping and testing an ergonomic attachment to evaluate acceptance of ergonomic designs in musical instruments amongst users. This design could be the blue print for a next generation instrument.
