ABSTRACT:
A set of attachments for securing to the thumb rest of a saxophone and its adjacent octave key which helps the beginning student and professional players alike to maintain a more natural and proper left hand placement relative to the instrument. The attachments include a polymeric, saddle shaped pad adapted to fit over the left hand thumb rest of the saxophone and a curved, polymeric pad attachable to the adjacent octave key, both attachments adhered to the instrument by an adhesive, the attachments maintaining proper alignment of the left thumb perpendicularly to the octave key and the left hand in a proper, relaxed playing and holding position, the curved octave key pad being of sufficient height and shape to allow a smooth, sliding transition, thus allowing the left thumb to depress the octave key without leaving the thumb rest or changing relative angle position.
