Quodlibet

A while back I posted a message about trying out a new thumb rest to alleviate problems with pain in my right hand/thumb/arm. The thumb rest alternative I tried, which was the Ton Kooiman Etude, didn't work for me, and the main reason for that was that a thumb rest alone, regardless of how it is designed, does not take any of the weight off the right arm. Somebody posted a message here suggesting the FHRED telescoping peg manufactured by Quodlibet, and that proved to be the solution, so many thanks for that suggestion. It clips onto the little screw ring on the thumb rest and thus carries virtually all the weight of the clarinet. There's also a little accessory thingie to it called SAMI which will enable you to use it while standing up. It felt a bit strange to start off with, but I got used to it very quickly. More information about this product can be found on http://www.quodlibet.com/ It's available in the UK from http://www.howarth.uk.com/ Anyone experiencing right thumb/hand/arm pain might want to consider this solution.
