Re: Thumb rest alternatives for Ridenour clarinets?

I use a ring adaptor that was made for use on the FHRED. I'm not sure if it was custom made or was the exact adaptor made for use on the Buffet adjustable thumb rest, but it works. Mine is a thin brass sleeve that fits over and around the thumb rest body with a hole for the screw to go through and tighten up everything. I use the screw from the Ridenour thumb rest and it fits well.

RDG Woodwinds is re-making a version of the FHRED and they also offer a thumb rest adaptor. It is expensive, but might be just the thing that you would want. You could check with them on measurements to see if it would fit your Ridenour thumb rest.

Here is a link to that item:
