Subj: RE: [kl] Adjustable thumb rest for Eb clarinet

Another option is a neck strap. Dr. David Shea (the new clarinet professor
at Texas Tech) got an elastic one and says it works really well for him.
He's a really cool guy too:).

I'm having the same thumb problem with my Bb and A. After playing for only
15 or so minutes, my right thumb and wrist are wrenched with shooting pain.
I hate to spend 150+ on adjustable thumb rests (especially since I feel my
car heading towards needing repair). Do any of you have experience with this
problem? I was thinking of just getting the existing rests moved up and pay
only $10 a piece.
