Customer Reviews

Seems solid, but will not fit a flute with a C# trill key option
I was satisfied with the general construction, look, and heft of the saddle. However, it would not fit on my flute because I have a C# trill key option, and the large C# vent hole will not accommodate the saddle.

I also purchased the thumb rest to experiment with. So far, results are favorable. If you don't have a C# trill key on your flute (most student models and intermediate models don't come with this option, and even pro flutes generally have to have the option ordered as an add-on), I'd give it a shot. It's a relatively inexpensive way to increase comfort. And if it doesn't work for you, it's a fairly cheap experiment. Low risk, high potential for reward.

I've heard from some users that these Bo Pep finger rests and saddles would scratch the body of the flute, but the plastic finishing on the product does not seem inclined to scratch my flute so long as the rest is applied carefully (don't just SNAP it on, be gentle).
