Ton Kooiman Prima flute thumb rest

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.

Ergonomically shaped thumb plateau prevents the thumb to slip away to the left or the flute to roll towards player (especially while changing octaves).

The Prima consists of two parts : the thumb plateau that can be attached in a second on the mounting plate that stays on the flute. The thumb plateau is also adjustable at an angle under the flute. This means that the thumb rest can be mounted in a second and always back to the same position.

The Prima is fixed on the body by means of silicone rubber bands while a silicone rubber sheet comes in between the mounting plate and the body. Silicone has the specialty to stick tight to the body. This will prevent the Prima from slipping away and it protects your flute as well as it guarantees the body to vibrate freely.
