Phil developed Classical Fingers after noticing many of his clarinet classes were being consumed by issues around finger height and correct placement. Designed and made in Melbourne, Classical Fingers clips onto the clarinet with two magnets and covers the most important keys at just the right height. “It acts as a deterrent and helps develop a better muscle memory. The fingers automatically sense there is something above them so they stay down, close to the keys, resulting in a smoother and more accurate performance,” he says.This allows the player to concentrate on remembering the correct keys and playing the right notes. Phil says another design feature is its ability to easily clip on and off the clarinet, allowing players to use it in their lessons and while they are practicing by themselves.
