Hey!!!

I've used a neck strap for a while, although not currently. Neck straps
can help to take tension out of the hands, and remove weight off your
thumb. One important thing to keep in mind, is that the most commonly
used clarinet strap will strectch out, so make sure to change straps
periodically.

Your friend always,

Daniel G. Smith
