The thumb rest has a strap ring. Using a strap improves playability by reducing pressure on the right-hand thumb which can put extra strain on the shoulder and the neck.
Wooden body
Grenadilla wood is used for the body and the bell, which will produce a warm and pure sound which is unique to the oboe.
