Another thumb rest improvement which I have found helpful is the one that Tom Ridenour makes. It is simplicity itself -- just a molded piece of rubber-like material that fits over the existing rest. And it is way cheap (see his website for details). I have them on both of my oboes now (just cut a slit in the upper part to accomodate the neckstrap loop on my thumbrests). It also has the benefit that David N. described, that of making the right-hand grip "fatter" and more relaxed.

I used the Kooiman "Etude" on my clarinet, and got along well enough with it, although it was cumbersome and had to be disassembled to put the instrument into the case. With the Ridenour device, you just slide it off.

I have also seen the FHRED in use at close range, and was impressed with the flexibility it allowed the player. It seemed less instrusive than a neckstrap, actually. It was hardly noticeable.
