...hooking your index finger in one of these rings will help a person with small hands grip the horn more easily, I believe it also helps encourage "bass trombone claw", where you end up gripping the instrument WAY too tightly. A Greenhoe Rest Bar or something similar lets the horn hang from the saddle of your thumb, and lets you completely relax your left hand.
