Re: Kooiman Thumb Rests

Some days ago a bought the etude (cheapo) model.
Sofar mixed, but mostly positive feelings

Some pain in upper right arm muscles due to totaly different position of right arm (but hope this is temporary).

positive : some very hard (right hand) passages in Armenian dances (A Reed) just seem to become a lot esayer to play because the fingers of the right hand feel a lot less stress and feel as if they are in a far more natural position.

Because I think this is a major topic in clarinet world (this is a major change in clarinet design over the last years) , I just 'reopen' the topic for new experiences.

Any other opinion, or any idea why the big 4 (and others) do not by default change the (very) old classic thumb rest in there products ?
