3.0 out of 5 stars Seems solid, but will not fit a flute with a C# trill key option, February 20, 2008

I was satisfied with the general construction, look, and heft of the saddle. However, it would not fit on my flute because I have a C# trill key option, and the large C# vent hole will not accommodate the saddle.

I also purchased the thumb rest to experiment with. So far, results are favorable. If you don't have a C# trill key on your flute (most student models and intermediate models don't come with this option, and even pro flutes generally have to have the option ordered as an add-on), I'd give it a shot. It's a relatively inexpensive way to increase comfort. And if it doesn't work for you, it's a fairly cheap experiment. Low risk, high potential for reward.

I've heard from some users that these Bo Pep finger rests and saddles would scratch the body of the flute, but the plastic finishing on the product does not seem inclined to scratch my flute so long as the rest is applied carefully (don't just SNAP it on, be gentle).

I got this support thinking that it would help in supporting my left index finger. You see, I have an terrible infection & I had the first joint of my left index finger remove. As such my LH index finger is shorter. It did'nt help much & I decided to switch over to support my RH thumb instead. I found that it worked great in supporting & stabilising the instrument!

I love this Finger Saddle! It really does improve the way that I hold my flute. I have really long, skinny fingers that make it hard sometimes to keep a firm grip on my flute while playing harder pieces and this makes it easier and more comfortable to play my favorite pieces.
