Re: Left handed clarinet

I wish I'd had a left handed clarinet when I first started to learn to play - not because I'm left handed (which incidentally I am !) but becasue I too have a medical problem, in that I've no feeling in my left thumb and index finger following a medical accident a few years ago- well before I decided to take up the clarinet.
I've overcome the problem to a large extent now - I now "know" where the register key is even though I can't feel it !
A left handed model which enabled me to use my right thumb for the register key would have been a dream !
Still they say a little struggle is good for the soul - not sure it's so good for my playing though !!
