Subj: Help needed re: teeth cushions
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 12:32:10 -0500

I'd like to say Hi to all you American Clarinetists out there, and hope one of
you can help solve my problem.

My daughter was once given some strips of plastic type paper which she
had to fold and cut to size. This was then placed over her front teeth at
the bottom - much like you place a folded Rizzla paper. She found that
this saved her lip from getting sore when she played for too long.
Unfortunately we don't know what they were called or where you get them
from - the only thing we do know is that the person who gave them to her
said they were from America and you can't get them in Britain.
Gemma regularly goes on courses when she plays 9 - 10 hours a day
and she attends a specialist music school where she practices 3 - 4 hours
a day so you can imagine the amount of Rizzla papers she gets through - they
go soggy so quickly - an they don't give AS much protection as the plastic
cushions. Please could somebody out there tell us what they are called and
where we might be able to get them from that might agree to send them to
Wales.

Thanks ALL for a wonderful list.

Happy Blowing
