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!

Hardly had much chance to use this but so far it has cut smoothly, cleanly without any cracking or splits and squarely across the axis. Can’t ask for anything more. Reasonable price as well. Feels solid and robust.

Nicest reed so far. I really enjoy playing with it.

This is quite heavily profiled cane and really only wants the tip finishing, which results in quite a soft and bright reed, though it can be darkened with wire placement/shape. I really like this cane and use it for 2nd bassoon playing as its best for quiet and/or mid to low range playing. Excellent service.
The reeds are great but the delay in receiving them due to customs demand for payment meant I did not receive the reeds for my concert despite paying extra for faster shipping
