Has anyone had experience with the Kooiman thumb rest? I have arthritis in the right hand, pointer finger bent downward so that I slide off the key in spite of extension on key and raised thumb rest. I find low c#, side e flat etc difficult to cover. Its worse on English Horn .
Do you think this thumb rest that can be raised, and the extending knob swiveled to a variety of positions might help? Is the model sold for clarinets the same as that for oboes? What about English Horn?
Will the instrument fit in a standard pro oboe case when it is installed? The cheaper model worked well on EH but broke after a while. The more expensive models can distribute weight of instrument over wider area but are pricey. I assume installation involves drilling new holes in the wood of the instrument. Any information is welcome. Thanks Lois Barton
