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!

This magnetic pencil holder is really great. It will sit under the lip of the music stand so it stays out of the way when turning pages or moving music. The magnet could be slightly stronger as it does move quite freely if knocked or bumped but on balance I have found it to be an extremely useful addition to my music accessories. It releases the pencil with a light press of the springs and fits easily into my accessory pouch I carry when out and about. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Had to email & chase up, arrived after 5 weeks. Difficult to attach to Bassoon. Needed tool to adjust, only came with a spare nut no tool provided. Would not take the weight when standing but ok when sitting. It also came with a free pencil.
My son was very happy with his new reed. This was the first time we ordered these reeds. He said they were soft but flexible and responded well both in the lowest and high registers.
