Re: Howarth Dutch Thumb Rest

I didn’t think about it being too bulky, I believe my case has a larger space for something like that though.
I agree that a grub screw would be the best bet for that. I have carved out of wood an approximate form for what I could use, but placing that where it would be thick enough to not be milled through would bring the position of my thumb too low for my liking. A solution to this could be to 3d print a thumb plate with the proper radius that protrudes out less from the instrument, but making it thicker to compensate for the difference in material strength. Then after that I could adjust the wood thumb rest part to fit the curvature of the oboe and the new thumb plate, leaving enough room for the thumb rest baseplate.
With the grub screw, I could also make it be able to seat inside the printed thumb rest a bit for more security.
