Fingerport for Flute - Left Hand Rest

Exactly what I needed

I bought a couple of other ergonomic devices for my left forefinger. This one nails it - hits the right spot on my hand and doesn't walk around on the instrument. The only reason I didn't buy this earlier is I couldn't tell from the photographs on the website how it works. A couple of photos showing it attached to an actual flute would be a big help.

This is a perfect option for anyone who has aging hands with arthritis. I feel even more comfortable supporting the flute with the Left Hand Rest. I have been a Fingerport user for a while now as I also have "hitch-hikers" thumb and fingers are starting to sway to the right.

Is helping me return to playing

I'm 70, and I had the base joint on my left thumb replaced a little over three months ago due to aging and arthritis. Now my thumb's range of motion is different, but this fingerport adds space between my hand and the flute body allowing space for my thumb to move more freely. I also put a plug in my G key because mine is an in-line flute, and my ring finger has to reach a little further and sometimes doesn't quite cover the hole. All-in-all, I'm relieved I will be able to continue playing my flute! When I first tried and discovered it was going to take some adjustment, i was very discouraged. This little device has changed everything! Thank you!
