Re: Do you play thumb on or off?

Yes Chris , come to think of it , my thumb action on the Cor with the my improvised thumb rest was more a rolling action than a sliding one. I fashioned it to fit over the round body of the instrument and the top was slightly curved for thumb comfort. As I said , I made mine out of good quality cork but firm rubber would also do. It was approx 1.5 cm in diam. I can imagine if one was fashioned such a thumb rest for a Conservatoire Oboe it'd be about 1 cm in diam.
