JL Smith Thumbport II Right Thumb Balance Aid for Flute

---

The Thumbport II has a lower default angle for the thumb. It’s a little thicker and more rigid. It touches the flute tube less. And, its extension arm is a little shorter (when attached to the flute, it may go into the case easier for some). Also, the end of the extension has a more rounded shape.

Being made from a round tube, the flute tends to roll while being played, and has inherent balance issues. The Thumbport counters the rolling, and helps establish a stable three-point balance support system freeing the musician from the effort of trying to physically control the instrument. The stability gained when using a Thumbport will help the musician produce a better and more consistent sound, and will aid in improved facility while reducing stress on fingers, hands and arms.
