From: David Adlam <dadlam@-----.nz> Subj: [kl] Thumb rests Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1998 08:59:09 -0400
I have taken over a student at a quite advanced level,who has a chronic
problem with her thumb. She has been using a neck strap, which has helped a
little. She has been to a specialist, who suggested a total design of her
thumbrest (She plays on a Buffet Festival). I have located an old Bay
adjustable thumbrest, which may provide more support for her thumb. I
wonder if there might be some other thumb rest, neck strap, or even an
exercise, which has proved effective for others on the List. I am just
starting to work on her hand position and related tensions, which should
also help.
Thanks
David Adlam
