ABSTRACT:
A finger rest for a recorder, which is attached on the under side of a body of the recorder for facilitating support of the weight of the recorder body with a thumb of the right hand of a player, comprises a body holding section having a bottom portion of a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the recorder body and side portions on both sides of the bottom portion, and a thumb supporting section projecting from the holding section downward in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the body holding section. The body holding section has a cross section in the form of an arc so as to engage the outer periphery of the recorder body with a spring force. The arc is a major arc having a circumference longer than that of a half circle. When the finger rest is engaged over the outer periphery of the recorder body, the thumb of the right hand of a player can be stably supported on the downwardly projecting thumb supporting section to thereby facilitate movement of other fingers which are used to open/close ring keys. The finger rest may be freely adjusted positionally by moving it along the length of the recorder body to suit a player.
