Re: Clarinet tumb rest?

Another comment --- I tried all kinds of neck straps and slings and the BHOB and whatever, and with all of them, I ended up having to support some of the weight of the oboe via the thumb rest and the left thumb, which was difficult for me, and I could never get a strap to be the "right length to work." I just remember the BHOB was not as good as the Hook; the Hook actually is the same principle we used when constructing something to rest on the floor for playing the Cor, because my hands are too small to play it otherwise. So I was delighted to find the Hook which was elegant compared to the construction we put together ourselves to achieve the same end.

With the Hook, I can make subtle position changes with my body as needed while the bell is resting securely on the Hook.
