The lack of balance while changing octaves incites the left hand to compensate and will develop the tendency to tighten up. This is less an issue with the Prima thumb rest because of the protruding straight thumb plateau of the Prima. This plateau is also adjustable at an angle under the flute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Properly balancing the flute has never been easy \u2013 until now!<\/p>\n<p>The Prima Thumb Rest prevents the instrument from rolling towards you.
