NEXT GENERATIONThe Etude Thumb Rest is a light weight thumb rest for clarinet and Oboe made out of durable plastics. The Etude enhances the freedom of playing. Allows for faster and easier movement of the ring- and little finger and it prevents fatigue of the thumb and hand. (+ arm and shoulder). It gives you a sense of control and a firm “grip” on your instrument.The Etude Thumb Rest allows the instrument to rest on the space between the two joints on the thumb. The lever momentum is much smaller at this point so the thumb can support the weight much more easily. Much of the energy used for supporting the weight then becomes available for handling the instrument. And can be used to improve control and speed up playing technique. ERGONOMICSThe use of the Etude Thumb Rest invites you into a new way of carrying your instrument! Instead of “hanging at 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 thumb can be held at an angle also, allowing for a more relaxed hand position on the instrument. The result is a “natural and individual” posture.EFFORTLESSMuch of the energy used for supporting the weight then becomes available for handling the instrument.

The result is a "natural and individual" posture. It can't be emphasized enough;The tip of the thumb has to make good contact with the thumb rest casing (in hollow shaped cavity). It will take only a short time to get accustomed and to make it your "new way of life". When you pull the muscle at the inside of the thumb, the thumb will bend a little.

No new holes have to be drilled. You can use the holes from the "old" Thumb rest. The Etude can be put on the mounting slide from top down number of "clicks" reveal progress in height.
