And when you’re relaxed you have less tendency to cramp up, making music a much more enjoyable experience to play.
  • ENJOY PLAYING MUSIC - Works fantastic by themselves, or in combination with a thumb rest cushion so you can concentrate on playing music instead of the constant pain of metal on bare skin. If you’re looking to make beautiful music but sick of pain and discomfort, you’ve found your solution! Also, be sure to look for our Nubs Sack (sold separately) that keeps your Nubs safe and secure and clips right onto your instrument case!

I purchased the Nubs thumb protector because lately, I've experienced irritation and pain from the pressure of my horns. I play soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones. The combined effect of the weight of the heavier horns along with the angle necessary to hold the soprano causes friction as well as pressure while playing. It's distracting and the Nubs thumb protector eliminated the rubbing and cushioned my thumb such that my focus is on playing and not so much on preventing pain while doing so! I love the product and it performs up to expectations. I think anyone who performs often will benefit from this product. The fit was fine and I like the compression effect. The medium works well for me and as stated in the accompanying literature, the fit becomes more comfortable with time. I appreciate the initial snugness because the fabric will slowly stretch over time. Again, the Nubs thumb protector is well worth the price as it provides peace in the form of pain protection!

I am pleased with my Nubs. I recommend that you do not get a size to small. I got a large and it is comfortable on my male thumb even though the chart said to get a medium. Also, I would like to see these in different bright colors. Black is easy to loose. My students would love these in bright colors or with designs.

I was happily surprised to see this thumb protector on Amazon. Being an adult, who Is taking clarinet lessons, I am practicing far more than when I played as a child and I started feeling a callus form on the side of thumb.I started using this protector for about a week and it helps to prevent the rubbing and pressure of the clarinet weight on my thumb.Two protectors are in a package. I measured my thumb as instructed and ordered a large size which fits perfectly. If anything to improve is to double stitch the edging which has loosen a little (but has not unraveled) to ensure they hold up a long time.Overall, I am happy that I found this thumb protector!

Serves it's purpose and helps prevent the calous. I much prefer it to the cushions that fit on the thumb rest itself. In my experience those never stayed firmly in place. By covering the whole thumb this provides continuous comfort even when playing the side keys.

I only thought I was getting one but I received TWO in the pack which was great. I started playing oboe again after a 20+ year break and my achy hands have been my greatest challenge. This thumb protector helps so much. It's comfy, easy to put on and protects my thumb and nail. I wish we had these 20 years ago.

It's not as thick as I would have expected for thumb protection but still good value for money.

De duimbescherming voldeed helemaal niet. Als je deze nu aanhebt of niet de druk op de duim bleef hetzelfde.

ich hab den Schutz jetzt schon ein paar Monate und bin vollauf zufrieden. Die erstmalige Anbringung ist etwas aufwändiger, hierfür bin ich zu meinem Klarinettendoc. Doch jetzt spiele ich ermüdungsfrei und die Bewegungen sind überhaupt nicht eingeschränkt. Für mich hat sich der Kauf gelohnt.
