​​@@P.W.R. sort of. They sell these things that you squeeze. It's got one "button" for each finger and a bigger one on the opposite side for the thumb. Supposed to build hand strength. Probably decent for a beginner and/or a child, but pretty useless after you've been playing for about a month. Probably great for physical therapy after hand surgery or something. But yeah, it's sort of a cross between resistance training and a pushup for your fingers. Edit: I should note theure sized for adult hands, so actually useless for a child as well.
