BG: The Discreet Accessory That Changes Your Grip
BG is a brand recognized for its accessories dedicated to wind instruments, designed to improve the ergonomics and comfort of the musician. The BG ABG A23 thumb rest follows this logic: a small addition, almost invisible once in place, but that makes a real difference over time. This A23 "wide" version is ideal if you are looking for more support at the thumb.
For Whom and In What Playing Contexts?
This thumb rest protector is suitable for both beginners (who are discovering how to hold the instrument) and advanced or professional musicians during rehearsals, orchestra, conservatory, or marching band. It is particularly useful during prolonged playing sessions, where thumb pressure can become uncomfortable, whether you play classical, pop, or in an ensemble setting.
Sound and Design
A thumb rest protector does not directly influence the sound, but it can indirectly improve your playing: by providing a softer contact and better comfort, it promotes a more relaxed grip and a more stable posture. The material, described as soft and durable, acts as a protection between the skin and the rest, limiting pressure points and helping to avoid callus formation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
If you experience overall discomfort when holding the instrument, a neck strap or a harness can also contribute to comfort by distributing the weight. However, compatibility strongly depends on the clarinet/oboe model and the attachment system: prioritize an accessory specifically designed for your instrument.

What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
This thumb rest effectively relieves thumb pain for clarinet and saxophone players. Customers said it "relieves thumb pain effectively" and provides "good stability." Most praise its quality and affordable price. Some noted confusion about sizing - "large" refers to instrument mortise size, not hand size. One customer reported it doesn't stay in place well.

It does its job well but it should have been indicated that the adjective large concerned the size of the mortise and therefore the thumb support on the instrument and not the width of the plastic support and its adaptation to the size of the user's hands.
