Re: Why adjustable thumb rest?!

The LH thumb placement in relation to LH finger 1 is only a result of the tonehole locations which are fixed.

On non-Boehm systems (including chalumeaux, 5 key Classical era, simple/Albert systems up to Oehler systems and everything else in between), both the left thumb hole and LH1 tonehole is positioned much higher up the top joint which means open G issues from the thumb hole on them and F# issues from LH1 tonehole. On Boehm systems, F# issues from the thumb tube and F natural from the LH1 tonehole (the G issues from the tonehole underneath the throat A touchpiece).
