Thanks for the tips. Well, I'll really have to try many different oboes! :-) I'm quite the opposite, I have large hands and long fingers. It was very useful on the piano, but on the oboe it's a pain... I have a hard time keeping them on the keys sometimes, especially RH 2 & 3 when I play C#! I see that most oboes, unlike my old Bundy, have the RH 3 hole wide open! This is why I wish the Kooiman Maestro rest will help. It not only adds comfort for the thumb, it opens the hand... Also, I could get the pinky keys made longer by a technician! It would ruin my chances to resell it though. .. :-D
