Anderson Hand Carved Bassoon Hand Rest

The head of our repair department, Eric Anderson, hand-carves these hand rests for bassoon. The design is more ergonomic than a traditional crutch style, and allows for more precise control of the bassoon and more freedom of movement of the fingers in the right hand. These crutches come in a variety of sizes.

Please specify the stem size of your crutch bracket. The most common sizes are 5/32" (for most professional-level bassoons), 3/16" (for Fox Renards), and 4.5mm (for most German-made bassoons).
