Designed to alleviate pain and improve ergonomics in the right hand of the saxophone (especially soprano), the LWS is a highly customizable accessory that utilizes the thumb hook and hardware already on the horn--this includes aftermarket thumbhooks like the Ishimori varieties. The LWS allows you to position your thumb farther up on the instrument, straightening out your wrist. You can move the thumb hook anywhere over a 1.5” area while opening up the hand position to feel more like an alto or tenor.
The All brass option is machined out of solid brass and finished with a high polish and durable baked on epoxy lacquer. Includes machined brass screws, steel set screws, allen key, and cloth pouch for storage.
The Plastic with brass hardware option is made of reinforced nylon and includes machined brass screws for assembly and cloth pouch for storage.
