Products
Maestro
The Maestro2 professional thumb rest can be adjusted in all possible directions to meet the highest individual demands. A direct and positive effect on the freedom of movement of the entire hand is found because of the improved position of the thumb in relation to the instrument.
Etude
The use of the Etude invites you into a new way of carrying your instrument! Instead of “hanging in the tendons”, the musician will now carry the instrument in an “active” way! The thumb is held higher and is either straight or slightly bent. The result is a “natural and individual” posture.
Forza
Making playing easier It’s actually surprising that no-one thought of this before: Saxophone players use a neck strap to carry the weight of their instrument, so the right thumb shouldn’t play any role in that sense. Still, the traditional thumb rest looks as if it should.
Prima
Properly balancing the flute has never been easy – until now. The Prima Thumb Rest prevents the instrument from rolling toward you. It also reduces the flute’s pressure against your lips, it incites a correct position of your fingers, and helps to prevent tension in fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders.
Oboe
The Oboe professional thumb rest gives freedom of movement of the entire hand. This is achieved by means of a hollow casing that can be adjusted from right to left. In this way the hand is allowed to “open”. This is the most sofisticated thumb rest that can be adjusted to the individual anatomy of the musician!
