I have a problem. My hands are too small for my Bb bass clarinet. I have a
school owned bass, so it isn't like I can change it. It is hard for me to get
from say right hand D# (space below the satff) to say the F below that. Things
like that are really difficult for me. I have tried many alternate fingerings.
The problem is that I am getting what I think is carpal-tunnel syndrome. My
wrist is constantly moving back and forth without my arm moving. It is really
bothering me. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
