An interesting idea-- my Buffet R-13 Festival has an adjustable thumbrest,
which makes it extremely difficult to find a thumbrest that will fit. Wide
thumbrests fall off and ones that aren't wide enough have to be cut very
precisely. I now, on the recommendation of a teacher of mine, use
stethescope piping. The rubber is good on your thumbs and it fits easily
over almost any thumbrest. My piece had to be sliced just a little to fit,
but since putting it on (over a year ago), it hasn't budged and it is still
as effective as ever. Any medical supply store should carry it cheap, and it
can be bought in large lengths.

hope that helps :)
