Anatomy for musicians:
the intercarpal ligaments
The
Intercarpal ligaments in red.
These
ligaments define the coronal axes of movement of the carpal bones.
Thus
a 'weak zone' can be seen in the centre
of the carpal architecture which will both allow for maximum opening

weak zone: in yellow.
Highly recommended by Paul: The Complete Pianist: from healthy technique to natural artistry offers a new and unique approach to piano playing, in which Penelope Roskell shares a lifetime’s experience of teaching, performing and ground-breaking research into healthy piano playing. Containing more than 500 pages of text, 300 videos and 250 exercises newly devised by the author, this is the most comprehensive book ever written on piano playing. The book has something new to offer to all pianists and keyboard players – student and teacher, professional and amateur.
