Solexa Thumbport - Piccolo

Solexa Thumbport for Piccolo

The Solexa Thumbport attaches securely to your piccolo, helping position your right thumb for better balance and control. By improving stability, it allows piccolo players to experience greater freedom in finger movement — once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever played without it.

Designed with a C-shaped shell and an angled extension, the Thumbport offers ergonomic support by guiding your right thumb to an optimal position. The extension rests gently against the thumb when the device is clipped near the F key, offering subtle yet effective assistance in holding the piccolo.

Behind the Design

Since nine fingers are engaged with the piccolo's keys, the right thumb plays a crucial role in supporting the instrument. Without proper support, players often rely on their right pinky, which can limit dexterity across the entire hand.

The Thumbport corrects this by encouraging a more efficient hand position. Its thoughtful design provides both vertical support from below and resistance against rotational movement, helping to keep the piccolo steady and comfortable to play.
