I have extremely long fingers (a 10th on piano), to the point where I find low B on my Marigaux 901 almost impossible to get to. If I had the money, I'd get it moved. The Marigaux 2001 I tried at ADRS was a breath of fresh air for keywork location.

My thumb sits quite far past the thumb rest simply so I don't break the line of the wrist. It has taken me the best part of 8 years to find a hand position that doesn't hurt in a long rehearsal or look awful, but I am finally there.

I do think it about trying all the oboes you can get your hands on...it is less about the weight and more about the balance and configuration.
