Subj: [kl] Neckstrap Predicament
Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 17:07:53 -0500

Here's a simple idea, I hope:
Neotech, one of the common brands, makes a small leather piece for their
neckstrap with an eyelet on one end to accept a normal type of hook, and a
slot on the other end that fits pretty well on your standard Buffet
adjustable thumbrest. Mine came with my neckstrap, but, since it looks as if
it will wear out, I imagine that they are available separately for a few
dollars.

A neckstap like this does take some of the weight off the thumb.

Also, look around the archives for this list, and on the woodwind.org
Bulletin Board. This subject has been discussed a lot.
