Prima thumb rest for flute

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 & for the flute to roll towards player. (Especially while changing octaves)

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