Subj: [kl] clarinet thumb support and hand problems addendum

Hi,

I can't answer the original question at this time as I am only a
beginner, but I would like to add a question of my own to this thread.
After many years of downhill skiing my thumbs have taken a lot of abuse
from the constant pounding of the poles, and having the straps wrapped
around the palm and thumb. Needless to say, when I try to practice for
any extended length of time I have a fair amount of pain in the joint at
the base of my thumb. Although it has been many years since I last went
skiing the pain is still there, although thankfully not as severe as it
was. Any hints or suggestions to this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
