What is the difference between the Thumbport and Thumbport II?
The Thumbport II has a lower default angle for the thumb. It’s a little thicker and more rigid. It touches the flute tube less. And, its extension arm is a little shorter (when attached to the flute, it may go into the case easier for some). Also the end of the extension has a more rounded shape. If the default angle on the Thumbport II (when the back top end pushes against the flute rib) is too low, one can use a blade to cut the end off a little. This way the angle can be modified. Adding isn’t as easy as removing; that is the reason why the new shell is longer. Some players still prefers the older design. The Thumbport II won’t replace the older version. To Top.
