THE PERFECT TOOL
TO HELP YOU STABILIZE YOUR FLUTE |
|
Imagine something that can ease your stress in holding the flute or rolling the flute, hence preventing injuries. Imagine something that can take away your mind in balancing the flute while you are playing music.
That “something” is none other than the Thumbport. Thumbport is like wheel wedges, which are still used today to secure the stability of a parked airplane. Similarly for thumbport to Flute, Thumbport secures the stability of Flute for you. Here are 3 reasons why you need to use one: 1. YOU JUST WANT TO STABILIZE YOUR FLUTE The key reason why Thumbport is created is essentially to stabilize the flute. Here is what Professor Kathleen Chastain from Oberlin Conservatory says, “After many years of performing and teaching, I have finally found the perfect solution for establishing stability in flute playing. Every flutist should have a Thumbport.” 2. YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR HANDS FROM INJURY Relieving prolonged stress from holding the flute prevents injury. These are what the TOP FLUTISTS around the world say: “Thank you for your splendid Thumbports.With the Thumbport, the two points of rest on the right hand thumb stop the flute rolling around, and this relieves the tension on the left wrist. Other flute supports which fix the flute around the contact point for the left knuckle have the effect of increasing the amount that the flute is inclined to roll inwards, and throw extra stress on to the right hand little finger (D# key) to steady the flute whereas the Thumbport makes it possible to play an open C# without any finger being on any key.I recommend this very strongly for anyone with Left hand problems and it can also help the Right hand fingers to press less.”-- Professor William Bennett, Royal Academy of Music “My right hand immediately felt stronger (the back of my hand and forearm are now in a strong, straight line) and any tension has disappeared! The flute seems much lighter and I have more flexibility in my right hand. fingers. I simply wouldn't go back to playing without a Thumbport!”-- Emily Beynon, Principal Flute of The Royal Concertgebouw 3. YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOU TONE AND INTONATION The way of how you hold the flute does affect the tone and intonation too as alleged by Kathy Blocki, the founder of Blocki Pedagogical Flute Products, “I'm so impressed with how such a little device can be such a huge help. By improving the balance, everything else improves too-not only finger coordination by also tone and intonation. What a gift to the flute world!” Read More about Thumbports: Click the website if you want to find out more about the history and analysis of the thumbport Click the video if you want to see how to use the thumbport: For Optimum Support, get your personal Thumbport now from the Singapore Dealers 1.
