| Adjusting a Standard

The FHRED Standard model adjusts to length by lockng the single telescoping
section into position with the thumb screw located on its side. |
|
To open the unit for use, loosen the thumb screw,
extend the upper section to the desired length and tighten the thumb screw to
lock the top section in place. |
|
To collapse the unit for storage or transport, loosen the thumb screw,
collapse the upper section into the base and tighten the thumb screw. |

| Attaching a Standard FHRED to
your Instrument |
|
FHRED Standard models attach to your instrument using the neck strap ring
on the thumb rest. Our 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) |
