I gave up straight soprano sax due to the RH problem. On clarinet i resolved it using a neckstrap (and a fat O ring on the neck strap & over the thumb rest - does not interfere with my thumb).

Using the Fhred - do you have to stay relatively still, or can you move the instrument around a bit ? is it long enough for standing? I tend to be fairly animated while playing.

I had bad tendenitus a couple years ago - it was okay playing my strapped alto and tenor saxes but on sop and clarinet it was awefully painful. Thus i decided to get a fully curved sop and use a strap for the clarinet. FYI, can't use a strap on a straight sop because the strap interferes with your LH thumb due to the instrument angle. Luckily, my RHand has gotten alot better since then.
