Re: correct right thumb placement

Author: ned

''...I have placed my right thumb opposite the middle finger...''

This makes perfect anatomical sense. Whilst one can align the thumb with any digit, the obvious placement is thumb to forefinger.

''...for some specific passages I lay my right thumb *on top* of the rest...''

I have done this as well (above the rest), but it compromises the stability of the instrument. An adjustable TR is the best option.
