Re: kooiman thumb rest

"When I had the metal plate for the Kooiman fitted to my oboe, I was told that if I didn't get on with it the holes could be filled, but that this may change the tone of the oboe slightly (adding extra holes for the plate could also do this!)."

I doubt it will have any effect at all - you've already go enough toneholes, pillar holes, screw holes, slots and all manner of things drilled part way into, all the way through and other things screwed into and resting against the joints of your oboe, so one more small blind hole drilled into the lower joint and filled in with a screw is very unlikely to have any effect on the tone.
