Thumb Saver - Cushioned Thumb Rest Cover for Clarinet & Oboe - 1726

Thumb Saver – Cushioned Thumb Rest Cover for Clarinet & Oboe – 1726

This Selmer Thumb Saver is a soft, rubberized cushion that slips right over a standard clarinet or oboe thumb rest. The whole weight of the instrument rests on that one small point of contact, and a bare metal or plastic rest can get uncomfortable fast during a long rehearsal.

It's a simple fix for a common complaint. Students especially tend to notice thumb soreness before they build up the calluses and technique that make it less of an issue, so this is a smart add-on for anyone just starting out.

Key Features

Soft Rubberized Plastic

A cushioned material that softens the point of contact against the thumb.

Slips Over the Thumb Rest

Fits directly over a standard thumb rest without any tools or adhesive.

Disperses the Weight

Spreads the instrument's weight over a wider area instead of one hard edge.

Reduces Hand Fatigue

Makes it easier to get through long practice sessions or performances comfortably.

No-Scratch Installation

Slides on easily without marking up the instrument's finish.

Fits Clarinet & Oboe

Sized for the standard thumb rest found on most clarinets and oboes.

Care Tip: If the cushion starts to feel loose after months of use, it's an easy, inexpensive swap rather than something to try to glue or repair.
