Certainly a very helpful comment for all those with physical problems or
who otherwise derive some benefit from a neckstrap. : - (

Were you playing the alto clarinet without a neckstrap, too?

I'm only a kid, but I don't really get the point of a neckstrap on a
soprano. I play the alto clarinet and my soprano is such a relief to
switch to. Comparatively, the weight is a huge diffferance on your
thumb. I was playing the alto for over 4 hours and by the time I was
done, my thumb was all red. If it was my soprano, I wouldn't have
minded. my point is I think neckstraps on sopranos are for weaklings
or wusses.
