MUSICIANS PRACTICE GLOVE - 1 Glove - Finger & Hand issues (Medium, Beige)

I wish I'd known about these sooner. I just started playing about 6 months ago, and I haven't had any feeling in my Thumb and Fingers for about 5 months. I was getting very concerned I may have to quit. I'd stop playing for a couple of days and then my symptoms would get better but as soon as I started up again (I'm taking lessons so I have to practice) my fingers would go right back to numb. These gloves work GREAT. They do not get in the way and in some ways I can play smoother with them on. I've been using them for about 2 weeks and the feeling is slowly coming back to my fingers. They feel almost normal again and I am not losing any of the callouses that I'd built up. I imagine beginners will still build up callouses even while using them. They just take the edge off. Now I can practice as much and as long as I like without having to ice my fingers every night. These are a god send.

This has been working great so far! I have put down and picked back up my stringed instruments so many times over the years but I'm always hesitant over the latter because when you don't play for awhile the calluses go away and you gotta form the blisters all over again which isn't just uncomfortable but limits your play/practice time when starting back up. But this glove has been a total godsend, I can play as long as I'd like and keep my fingers fresh and painless. I'm really surprised I just found out about these after so many years of playing. So far they are holding up but I haven't had them for long, so be sure that I WILL update my review if they prove to be undurable and fall apart. But until then, if that even happens, I have nothing but great things to say about this product! Probably one of the most impactful guitar/bass accessories I've ever worked with!

I am 62 and new to learning the guitar. Like most people, the painful fingertips I have are causing me to take a day in between practicing. I realize this is part of the process, but my fingers feel like they've been severely burned. So, I found this glove and figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The glove distributed the pressure more evenly around my fingertip rather than leaving the deep ruts from the strings. I can still feel the string, and I don't think that I will need to use it in the future, but for now it will allow me to practice everyday rather than the every other day I needed to rest my fingertips. Now on to the glove itself. I measured my finger as shown, and according the chart I needed a size small. But, it also says to size down for a tight fit. After reading the reviews and seeing that the new version of this glove with the logo printed on it, was smaller than the original version, I ordered the small. It fits perfectly, with the exception of the space at the bottom, between the fingers. As noted by other reviewers, the material doesn't go all the way down. I found that I had to push the material down from each fingertip, towards the bottom of my finger to get it to fit correctly. I have kid sized hands and really didn't expect this, but there it is. You can get it to fit better, you just have to work with it. Maybe it loosens up over time, we'll see. I also found that the glove was a little short from the base of the fingers to the wristband. The wristband part starts more on the heel of my palm, rather than below it. Again, maybe as I wear it, it will loosen up and fit better there or maybe a medium would fit better. I may try a size up in the future, but for right now, this is getting the job done. In summary, if you are just starting to learn an instrument with strings and it feels like someone has ripped your nails off, and discouraging the practice that will toughen them up, I say it can't hurt to try. I am happy enough with the glove to give it four stars, despite the minor fit issues. At this point, I don't know how durable the glove will be, but I don't think at this point I am playing enough to cause a lot of damage, so we'll see how it goes.

Apparently, invented for bass players, here I'll address the viability for left hand fretting on an acoustic steel string guitar. Purchased due to severe nickle allergy. Instead of refretting all my favorite guitars (hands shredded bc nickle is toxic to me), figured I'd give this glove a try. Chose basic black. On the size chart I'm borderline small to regular. Ordered Xtra small. Pretty tight snug fit where I want it to be. Tips of fingers. Finger length is just about spot on. Pinky is slightly too short, but only by a hair. Is it a second skin. Not exactly, however it's relatively close, given it's stated purpose. Feels pretty weird at first, which should be expected. Not weird bad just "oh, this is a bit different." It's comfortable, and you can slide (on the neck) a bit more smoothly. Like coated dental floss heh. Also there's a bit of sonic adjustment required regarding tonality from finger/glove material on string (as opposed to flesh), however it's minor. Putting the glove to the strictest test concerning how usable it is (for me), involved the following. Placement of pinky on second fret high E string and ring finger on 2nd fret B string. Do they rub together, do they mute the notes? Pinky on 2nd fret high E string, Ring finger on 2nd fret G string, open B string btwn. Do pinky or ring rub against and mute the open B string? Thankfully, the answer to the above questions are mostly negative. For the most part, the glove does not interfere with granular micro fingerings on the most delicate strings. Every so often you will need to readjust the arc of your fretting hand to compensate for the additional thickness. However, it's not that often and isn't game breaking. Conclusion, for nickle allergy sufferers this glove is an excellent product. I'd like to see future iterations even thinner and more second-skin like. However, this current version is usable and doesn't make playing unenjoyable. Therefore, I give it 5 stars (really about 4 1/2), bc the glove, and the material it's fabricated from allow me to continue doing what I love. Playing the axe!

Play bass, have smaller hands and switched to short scale fender. These gloves seem to help alleviate tendon/ligament issues I was having as well. Studio recording these help with string screetch. Not sure they would work on guitar as string & fret spacing may cause issues with added bulk, but they are pretty thin. They do not hold up well, 2 gigs and maybe 2 rehearsals was all I got for the $ 11 + tax. They may also take some getting used to as there is no more friction between your strings and your fingers, makes strings very slippery which I got used to. Wish I could buy a 6 pack for < $ 20, otherwise I might look for another brand or just play sans unless we gig outdoors in the cold.

Im a guitarist, but sometimes have to record Bass parts, and my right hand fingers get brutalized by the round wound bass strings, especially if I do any kind of snap or pop... This thing allows me to get through a bass part without blisters. It worked so nicely, I decided to try it on my fretting hand on a sitar, as classical Indian Sitar is brutal on the fingertips. Worked great. If I get to the point of too much pain, I throw this glove on and keep going. Then I playing guitar at a jam that went long and my finger tips were starting to crap out, so I pulled this glove out for the fretting hand, and played comfortable for an other two hours. It is surprising how it doesnt really effect your playing. Works great.

I’ve been using this product for over 2 years. It used to only available on guitar music store websites. I’m absolutely happy they are on Amazon now. This is the true name brand original. Words of wisdom is be sure to use the information in the images to measure for a right fit. Once, you figure out the size go one size smaller. The key is the glove needs to be like a second skin. It may require some breaking in but once it is you will never need to worry about callouses being ripped or having to build them up. Absolutely, perfect for those just starting to guitar because you won’t need to endure painful blistering to form callouses. Another advantage is the string clarity when fretting with this glove. I have to but a pair because my musician buddies will borrow one of them and never return it. They’re so affordable I don’t bother making a scene over their lack of returning the glove. Ladies if you’re with a guitarist but this as a gift. Even, if they claim they don’t need it, they will eventually and thank you for not slapping them for being stubborn

I would have given the glove 5 stars, but the sizing chart is WAY OFF. Your fingers actually slide along the strings nicely! However, I went by the sizing chart, which gives length specifications based on your middle finger. (They're measurement standard - nothing more.) My advice to you is to forget that specification. Yeah, the glove stretches out to fit my finger length, but the girth of the finger and the width of my hand at the base of the fingers, IMHO, would provide a much more accurate spec. I normally wear a Medium-Large golf glove. Fits very well. I was imagining the same type fit described in the sizing chart using their specs. Since I'd never ordered the gloves before, I got one Small and one Medium. According to the sizing chart, a small should fit me perfectly. In fact, my middle finger was 1/8" below their maximum length. When I tried to put it on, there was no way! I managed to get the Medium glove on, but it's gonna rip out very soon BETWEEN the fingers. It's not the length of the fingers. The difficulty came with the width of the glove measured at the BASE of the fingers. It barely stretched out wide enough BETWEEN the fingers to get it on. The width of my hand is 3 1/4" across at the base of my fingers. I need a Large size for sure. My recommendation is this: If the width of your hand is between 2 3/4" to 3 1/4", you need a Large. Anybody with a hand width at the base of their fingers more than 3 1/2" across most likely needs an X-Large. Fortunately, my 9-year-old grandson can wear the Small and will soon be in the Medium. Nice glove, but get the right size!!

Tengo un eccema dishidrótico en las manos, y cuando hace frío y no llevo las manos abrigadas se me resecan y agrietan. Con estos mimbres me hice guitarrista, para forzarme a cuidar de mis manos. Y bueno, no se me da mal, puedo ir a tocar a la calle y que no me tiren piedras, pero las épocas de frío o cuando me aprieta el eccema hacen que tenga que dejarlo... o sufrir. Hace poco un compi de curro me comentó que utiliza estos guantes, y yo no perdía nada por probar uno. Así que lo encargué... y madre mía, ya es otra cosa. Ya puedo tocar en cualquier circunstancia. Es conveniente coger una talla menor de la recomendada según esas medidas, cosa que es cierta para que se ajuste bien a los dedos, y después dar el guante de sí un poco estirando. Y hacer ejercicios de calentamiento con el guante puesto para que dé de sí. Con esto consigues que la práctica sea más cómoda, y que el guante no te ofrezca resistencia ni te limite. Además se desliza la mano mejor sobre las cuerdas, no las oxidas por no pasarle el sudor, y encima es un guante resistente. No he notado variación de tono, sostenido ni nada raro. Los acordes se realizan bien. Eso sí, recuerdo: estirando bien el guante. Tengo pensado coger cuatro o cinco, aunque encargaré una de mi talla real.

Ellerinizde eldiven varmış hissi neredeyse hiç yok, çok güzel yapılmış. Artık bunsuz çalamıyorum. Aynı his değil diyenlere inanmayın.

Les gants sont justes excellent selon moi, ce ne sont que mes premiers gants, mais j'ai déjà l'impression qu'elle va sauver ma façon de jouer à la guitare. moi, qui transpire beaucoup des mains, les gants aide à mieux jouer, à être plus à l'aise, de moins abîmé les cordes et enfin de pouvoir joué même quand on est frileux comme moi. Elle remplie bien son rôle de "2e peau" donc on la remarque même plus.

Made it soooooo much easier to learn guitar and i dont get pain from the strings anymore :)))))) !!!! 10/10 . get ur size right from the size chart for the best experience
