What Flutists Are Saying
I got 4 flutes to "try-before-buy" and had great hopes for the Yamaha 362 - Unfortunately, the thumbport lands right in between the springs rests of the D-E keys and interferes with the operation.
I even trying filing it (the thumbport :-) to no avail - it is too wide and since it's not very tight on the flute body, it would certainly slide.
That was a bummer as you know, the flutes are very slippery, thanks for the mirror-like polishing and I have tendency to roll the flute towards me - the thumbport solves the problem for me (yes, a late student).
I attached 4 pics: 2 for the Yamaha and two for my other flute (the other 3 I have to try-out have the springs rests in the same position) showing bad fitment and good fitment.
The right hand rest for my thumb has proven to be quite helpful and useful. I will definitely be using it.
Good for my C flute. i need on for my Alto Flute.
I’ve been playing for about 50 years and have started to have some thumb pain. The thumbport is helpful as it allows more variety of thumb positions, and adds a little stability which = reduced hand tension. The instrument fits in the case with the thumbport on. Not a miracle, but good. I’d say it would also be good for a young player with small hands to prevent bad habits from becoming ingrained.
I tried the Kooiman thumb rest but didn’t like it because it forces a thumb position that’s bad for my particular hand… plus it doesn’t fit in the case & doesn’t pop on and off as easily as the thumbport. The Bo-Pep was nice but it threw the flute off balance for me. It’s probably better if you have an offset G… mine is inline.
I love it—it works exactly as I expected. The support provides greater stability and firmness. It’s the best purchase I’ve made. It’s small, so I can easily carry it in my flute case.
I find using the Thumbport reduces fatigue in balancing the flute, particularly with my hyperextended "hitchhiker's thumb" which is cradled by the Thumbport.
Just what I needed. I'm a beginner and was experiencing pain in my right thumb. Thumbport II rectified the problem. Highly Recommend
Awesome. Where have you been all my life!
The thumbport gives my support. Helps.
I've made adjustments due to age and small hands. This piece adjusts the angle and helps compensate for small hands. I find it very helpful. Wish I had done this years ago.
It’s great, it helps in stabilization and getting the low notes, very great product!
The product does exactly what it is supposed to. I'm still getting used to having the thumbport on my flute but can already notice a difference. I wish I would've gotten one sooner.
It helps me know where to put my thumb.
Works really well to keep my flute from rotating and slipping where it sits on my right thumb. Especially helpful on older players who have lost some of the "plumpness" and padding you had on your fingers when you were younger.
I love it! Makes it much easier to hold and balance my flute.
Perfect for small hands. I'm able to balance my flute much easily
👍🏻
