Specifically my index finger across all strings - can't seem to get all the strings pressed down to play a bar** A: Yes, and no. This will help build up the strength needed to maintain a barre but that's nothing that constant practice won't help with. This excels for individual finger strength, use this to get your pinky leveled up. **Q: Will this help with piano playing as well?** A: That's partly what I bought it for. Finger strength is always good, but I'm not convinced it's a major help (I suspect that 15 minutes a day of classic strenghtening exercises such Hannon would be more benifical). The main problem with it is that it drives the family mental as I sit there squeezing it while we're watching a DVD :) **Q: Is this useful for violin players?** A: It will help with all stringed instruments. I appreciate the neck on a violin is thinner, however it is the same muscles used. **Q: How does it compare with the gripmaster pro and sportgrip?** A: Sorry cant compare but it is very effective for arthritic hands ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and effective. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 September 2025* I settled for this particular model on the basis of other reviews and its brand. To date, I have not been disappointed, it’s doing what I want it to do and I am already feeling the benefits. It is easy to use and easy to adjust the spring tensions for individual fingers. Initially I found the fourth finger key too strong, but by altering the strength on the other fingers, within days found significant improvement on the fourth finger which already transferred into my woodwind, keyboard and string playing.Taking off the grey moulding to cover the keys is really simple and doing the exercise to maintain string callouses is simple and again, effective.This is a robust, compact and simple device, stores and transports easily. Some may quibble at its cost but I think it easily justifies itself, is easy to use and produces results quickly. A basic but really useful tool for the musician- I’m very pleased I bought this, to borrow another well known phrase: “ it does what it says on the tin” ( although this one comes plastic sealed to a card:D).Some may think five stars rather generous, but it does and is continuing to do all I expected of it so how could I give it less? After all, I’d happily buy it again if I need to. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but has limitations. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 March 2014* It looks and feels well made. It performs quite well in a number of configurations, and it all depends on what you expect from it.I was a bit disappointed that the tension was as strong as it is at it's weakest setting - this makes it difficult to use as a practise aid for finger co-ordination - for example for finger picking guitar or trumpet etc. Weaker springs would have made this much easier, and tension could be increased if desired. I bought the varigrip mainly to exercise my fingers at the onset of arthritis, and I'm not sure that it will actually help. This is mainly because it is difficult to use the grip to bend specific finger joints enough, and I now also have my doubts about strength exercises actually easing the symptoms of arthritis anyway. No doubt the grip will improve the strength of fingers, hand and wrist, if that's what you want. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice little companion *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 June 2016* I have to admit I do like this, in fact I love it. I think it's brilliant. It's well built, and it's clear D'Addario have put some real thought into it's practicality and how it'll benefit your guitar playing. This isn't a corporate fad designed to milk money out of novice guitar players who might think they need every single guitar accessory on the face of this planet. (The experienced ones I know who have been playing for over a decade also found this useful in their own way and considered getting one themselves.)The packaging it comes in (a card with the exerciser affixed to it) has a list on the back of all the different exercises you could essentially incorporate, ranging from building finger calluses to strengthening muscles and training them for bar chords.I started using this every day, playing around with it and giving the muscles a good flexing which I began to reap the benefits of. I could hold chords for longer and the fingers felt more agile when finger-picking. The callus builder (located underneath the grey strip seen in the picture) I was initially skeptical of, since it's "string simulator" is three lines that somewhat represent the thinner strings, but they're more raised groves in the plastic body as opposed to real guitar strings which I feel would have been better, or metal at the least.Nevertheless, they do show promise, and the fingertips feel toughened. The ability to change the tension on each finger press (via turning the small dials for each) allows me to slowly improve the strength in the little fingers while stepping it up for the main three which are much stronger (of course, as they said too, favouring certain fingers isn't ideal.)It fits into the pocket nicely and works great as a warm up before an intense session, or in your spare time when you know there's something you need to work on. It's versatile, strong and definitely serves me well. Highly recommended, espcially for a tenner. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Accessories Hand Exerciser–Improve Dexterity and Strength in Fingers, Hands, Forearms- Adjust Tension Per Finger– Simulated Strings Help Develop Calluses- Comfortable Conditioning - SNARK ST-2 Chromatic All Instrument Tuner, Rechargeable - Fender Premium Picks Sampler - 12 Pack Includes Thin, Medium & Heavy Gauges (Austin Bazaar Exclusive) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/47936757-varigrip-hand-exerciser](https://www.desertcart.at/products/47936757-varigrip-hand-exerciser) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
