Re: Do you play thumb on or off?

I'd go for something nearer 17mm in diameter if using a pad cup (eg. an XL oboe low Bb pad cup) for comfort as 10mm will dig into your thumb after a while.

I've still got ideas on Sax system oboes (and cors) and they'd have a large pad cup as a LH thumb button if they ever saw the light of day.
