5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thumb rest cushion by Yamaha, January 3, 2010

This Yamaha thumb rest cushion is a snug fit on the thumb rest and provides excellent support and comfort. The synthetic black rubber like material is soft and pliable and is just slightly larger in diameter than the thumb rest. My own preference is for the Protec thumb rest cushion (available direct from Amazon), which is of a larger diameter and an even softer material than the Yamaha, providing even better support and comfort, yet an equally snug fit. However, the greater size of the Protec cushion can be a problem in clarinet cases that do not allow much depth beneath the thumb rest, and the Protec cushion is translucent rather than black.

UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW: Now that I have used both the Yamaha and Protec thumb rest cushions for some months now, I actually have a slight preference for the Yamaha cushion over the Protec. I find the firmer material and smaller size of the Yamaha cushion to actually be more comfortable and less distracting. I also have found that most clarinet cases do not accommodate the larger size of the Protec cushion, but the Yamaha cushion usually fits just fine. The final word is that both thumb rests are excellent, and your preference will depend upon you.

It was well made, and fit my clarinet with no problem. It easy on the thumb. I am happy with it. I used it on my Buffet E13, and it worked. It may be small, but on the long run I am thankfull I have one.
