Thumb rests

I have an inexpensive (US-made) alternative for you. Try Tom Ridenour's "Thumb Saddle." I think it costs around $10. You can read about it and order it on his Web site. There's nothing to do to your instrument. It just slips over the metal thumb rest. My opinion, after using it for more than a year, is that it is by far the best thumb support ever developed. It opens up the hand, which greatly facilitates right-hand technique. I find it very comfortable. Hard to understand why manufacturers have never come out with a similar device. Kudos to Mr. Ridenour.

Good luck
