Re: thumb rest

Have you tried an adjustable thumb rest?

I found a cheap one here on eBay for $6. I can't speak for the quality it but there's not a whole lot that go wrong with a thumb rest. Worst thing is probably if it breaks off the oboe and accidentally drop it. The shipping might take a few weeks too because it's from China.

Forrests also sells a Loree adjustable thumb rest for a whopping $160.

If you drill holes lower to accommodate for the thumb rest you have now, you might issues putting the oboe inside the case.
