Finger tip exercise’s

[dennis-the-menace]

Hi all, I’m 83 yrs old and just bought my first concert ukulele.
Is there an exercise to toughen my finger tips when I’m not near it
to practice.
I sometimes poke my thumb nail into the tip of my finger and work
my way across.
Any help would be grateful.
Dennis the menace.

Hi Dennis, check out this product. Back in the day they were made primarily for developing finger strength and dexterity, but the new models included simulated strings. Here is the description they include: “By removing the reversible molded grip you can uncover a simulated string that helps develop and maintain finger calluses for string musicians.”

I had one years ago, but it didn’t have the simulated string feature, so I wouldn’t be able to comment on how well it works.
