 Re: Buffet Thumbrest Too Low

I just spent a week with the Kooiman Etude thumbrest. It's easily installed using the existing screws, and is adjustable to the levels you all mention here. Perhaps it suits someone with a larger hand than mine? I was getting blisters where the thumb meets the hand, and also felt that my dexterity and playing speed was compromised because it felt as if I were playing with paper wadded up in my palm. It was so irritating that I had it removed and the original one replaced.
So your suggestions of either raising the existing thumbrest or checking into a different style of adjustable thumbrest are useful.
Is there a good reason why Buffet and other manufacturers continue to place it where it is?
