your Instrument |
|
FHRED Standard models attach to your instrument using the neck strap ring
on the thumb rest. Our patented latch is one of the keys to freedom of motion
when you use a FHRED. |

|
| The thumb rest on my instrument does
not have a neck strap ring. How can I use FHRED? |
|
|
|
We have adapters with a ring for use with Lorée, Buffet, Leblanc and
Bay adjustable thumb rests. We also offer a standard Buffet thumb rest with a
ring on it for the convenience of our clarinet customers who play Buffet
instruments. |
|
For other instrument makes, if your instrument has a removable metal thumb
rest, your service person can silver solder a ring on it for a nominal charge.
|
|
|
|
The ring should be made of 16 asw gauge wire (0.062 inches, 1.6 mm in
diameter), nickel wire works well, formed into a ring with an inside diameter
of 0.18 inches (4.6 mm) |
