 Re: Ridenour Thumb Saddle

<<Also, if you have an adjustable thumbrest, you have to add a bit of material to the back of the saddle to compensate for a gap that is created. Othewise the thumbsaddle will wiggle and be unstable.>>

I'm not sure what to do about the adjusting mechanism on an adjustable thumb rest. My R13 has an adjustable thumb rest, with an eyelet for a neckstrap. The Ridenour saddle fits over it quite nicely if you do what I did for my oboe and cor (which have fixed thumbrests with eyelets): I just took a razor cutter and sliced the top of the thumb saddle to create a notch for the eyelet. The saddle now snugs right up to the instrument, and it hasn't frayed or stretched, etc., in the two years that I have been using it that way.

I'm happy about it, anyway . . .
