Re: Kooiman Thumb Rests

I have been using the Maesrto Model for years and have never been more satisfied with a product in my life.
Having said that, it is not perfect and all the parts of a musical instrument are delicate and require care and attention.
Bad stuff (IMO) that you need to be aware of to get the most benifit from the product-
- I do not use the stock Kooiman Screws. The thread is too wide from the shaft of the screw.
- Due to the way the product works the screws often can back out. I use gel super glue to stabilize the screw head with the plate. DON'T USE REGULAR SUPER GLUE UN LESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HAVE A REASON!! IT WILL FLOW INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SCREW AND THE WOOD!!
- The plastic model will break. The Maestro will not. The Maestro has a lifetime warentee. The plastic does not.

All in all- they are great, but they are not instant and they require time to get used to.
