This is more than just a thumb pad. This saddle makes playing easier and promotes correct finger curvature. It is well worth the pirce - probably the best accessory you can buy as far as enhancing your playing.

Great product - it helps relax your right hand and makes playing easier. Try this: form a nice, round letter "C" with your right hand, and see how easily your fingers move. Now pinch the hand tighter, with your thumb closer to your fingers and try again. Big difference. That's what this thumb saddle does for you. I also bought an almost $200 Kooiman thumb saddle as well. I do like it, but I like this thumb saddle even better, and it's easy to get on and off. You can't lose - give it a try!

This product relieves tension on the right thumb. For me it gives extra agility to my right little finger. It was an agile little digit anyway after years of practice, but now it is allowed to be relentless with the thumb saddle. It is not for all players. I would think that people with especially long or thick fingers might find it a hamper. However for me it works well. I'm ordering a few more. (Works well on my Buffet, Selmer, and my Buffet Albert System clarinets.)

Excellent, very inexpensive, immediate improvement, fast and easy to use. Reduces fatigue significantly, allows for better finger positioning, resulting in better playing and nicer sound.

My thumb and hand were hurting enough to consider some of the more complicated solutions, but I tried the Ridenour thumb saddle first. After a couple weeks the problem is much improved and as a bonus I think it allows a better position for the right hand and fingers. It's simple and inexpensive and it works.
