I have a thumb rest with a ring and was using a clarinet thumb cushion because there were none for oboe at my local music store. I was so excited to see people made things like this and I am glad I bought it!

Oboe thumb rest
Very well made but doesn't fit my instrument very well (Buffet Crampon Paris, actually made in Austria). Recess not deep enough and had to carve 2 corners off to enable me to engage hook of my neck strap.
Dear Eric,
It is a good job you are creative enough to make this work for you! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, hopefully other players potentially in the same position will take inspiration and make it work for them too.
Happy comfortable oboe-ing!

Great reeds
I was recommended these reeds and they haven’t disappointed. Lovely tone and great in the lower range. Looking forward to seeing how they progress and settle in.

Excellent staples!
I have enjoyed using the Chudnow E staples, they are adding additional resonance to my sound.
Have tried it a couple of times. Appears to do exactly what it claims - is very comfortable, easy to assemble and takes some of the strain off my thumb, hand and wrist, without getting in the way.

In a shipment of two reeds, one plays great (ergo the high rating) but the other is barely playable. Fortunately the good one tends to last until the following shipment.
