MUSICIANS PRACTICE GLOVE - 1 Glove - Finger & Hand issues (XX-Small, black)

2ND Edit: I've been using these gloves for over a year, perhaps close to two. I use these for BASS ONLY. I stand by most of what I've said below. Maybe I feel stronger now as I pretty much won't play bass without them. They take some getting used to, but once you do get used to them you won't want to play without them. For me they add a musical nuance that is absent with bare hands. Even with flatwound strings... and possible particualary with flatwounds, they are extraordinarily helpful. If you get used to playing with them once you try barehanded again you will feel that it takes more effort to get around. While we all learn barehanded and never think about the effort required, once you use the gloves you'll become aware. Can I still play bare handed? Sure. Do I want to? Not really. Perhaps on a really hot day when I have to keep my hands cool I'll keep the gloves off.PRO TIP: BUY AT LEAST ONE SIZE LARGER THAN IT SAYS. TAN COLOR IS ALMOST A SIZE SMALLER THAN BLACK.Edit: It's been some months since I started using these gloves. My previous review had been about fit. The fit isn't consistent even in the same size. My black on is a little looser than my tan one, both in XL. And I ordered one other tan one in Large, which was a mistake, but I've kind of stretched it out so it works.Having said that, I've gone from experiment with them playing bass to not wanting to play bass without them. A glove on the left hand lets me get around smoother and slinkier. A glove on the right hand gives me better touch. I can still engage my finger nail on my right hand, but it just gives a little crispness to the attack without sounding "plinky" like a bare nail would sound like on a bass string. They really help keep things quiet when recording.Last summer I was doing an outdoor gig, gloves on, of course and toward the end I thought I'd just take them off (I forget why now). Well as soon as we did the next tune without my gloves, back on they went for the duration.While they can be used on guitar I don't use them with either acoustic or electric. While they are great on bass I just don't like them on guitar. To that I say just play and build up the callouses. After 2 weeks you wouldn't need them anyay.Do I recommend these? For bass players, you gotta try em and get used to them. Then you won't want to live without them. A lot of famous bass players are wearing gloves now! Guitar? Forget about it.

The glove fits well on my hands and I had no problems playing the bass with it on. It protects any cuts you may have on your fingers/hands, as well as reducing string noise. I would think it would also prolong string life, since finger oil and sweat won't be getting onto the stings. So far, I'm very happy with this.

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!

I've been using this glove on my left (fretting) hand to play bass for a couple of years now. I first got it because I have some nerve damage in the tip of my ring finger that seems to be activated by playing, and I wanted to protect that finger. But as an added bonus, it makes my hand a little more "mutey" than it would be otherwise, and as a result it's much easier to keep unwanted strings from ringing. (I'm a fairly amateur bass player, in case that's important to know.) It doesn't interfere with my playing at all and people don't seem to notice that I'm wearing it.

I have been playing with the guitar since I was 18 and actually had to take a year and a half off because of psoriasis. I tried the rubber finger tips etc and they all sucked My psoriasis is starting to come back again which is why I picked these up. I actually think that I will be able to continue playing even if it does get out of hand again.

Nice product. Fits great but takes some getting used to!Recommended.

A bit too tight/small for my hand. The glove did help with my injury. felt minimal discomfort. However they are a bit slippery

Certaines personnes ont dit de prendre une pointure plus petite que la charte nous indique pour notre grandeur. C'est une erreur, les doigts sont trop courts. Fiez vous à la charte.L'annonce indique "1 paire", mais c'est en fait 1 gant. Pas 1 paire.

The media could not be loaded.  Hole in glove already this is not a good product to buy

Used this on both acoustic and electric. Not going to lie, they make my untrained fingers a little bit more clumsy finding strings, but they really do ease calluses and fatigue. Frankly it sounds great when you wear it on your strumming hand too; might buy another. I have verrrry small hands and got the XXS and it fit fine with barely any room leftover.
