Protec Saxophone Side Key Risers
Stop straining your right hand to reach those awkward side keys! For many saxophonists, the factory right-hand side keys (Bb, C, and high E) can sit a bit too flush against the body of the instrument, leading to awkward hand positioning, wrist tension, and sluggish technique during fast technical passages or trills. Protec Saxophone Side Key Risers are a simple, inexpensive, and highly effective ergonomic upgrade designed to bring the keys perfectly into your natural reach.
Made from thick, high-quality rubber, these risers slip snugly over your existing metal side keys in seconds. By increasing the height and providing a wider, softer surface area, they allow your right hand to remain in a natural, relaxed, and curved position. This significantly improves your speed, confidence, and technical fluidity, especially when navigating difficult cross-fingerings and fast right-hand trills.
Key Features:
-
Instant Ergonomic Relief: Raises the height of the right-hand side keys, reducing awkward stretching and hand fatigue during long practice sessions.
-
Improves Technique: Promotes a relaxed, natural hand position that allows for much faster, more fluid execution of trills and side-key fingerings.
-
Non-Slip Grip: The thick rubber material provides a secure, comfortable grip, preventing your fingers from sliding off the keys during fast, technical playing.
-
Safe & Easy Installation: Slides securely onto the metal keys in seconds—no glue or permanent modifications required. Designed to universally fit most soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones.
