Hi, I am some what new to the list and I have really enjoyed reading what
every one has to say.
I have recently started to use a neck strap when I play. I was rather
skeptical when I first saw one. However, when I came to college I saw
that almost the entire Clarinet studio used them. When my wrist began to
bother me I decided to try one. It is great. I love using it. It
supports the entire weight of the clarinet. Since I started using it my
wrist seldom bothers me.
If you are curious about them, I suggest to try one out and see if it is
right for you.
