About the bassoon hand crutch

Most bassoons have a crutch, a small rest that supports the right hand and keeps it in position. This printable crutch can be scaled to whatever size suits your hand.

Depending on how big you print it, the tube that goes into the bassoon may need a little sanding to fit. Fit it gently: don't force a tight post into your instrument's socket.
