Bummer,

I've had such right hand discomfort that it limited my playing and extended into many other things --like being able to type.

I've just about worn out an BG elastic neck strap in 26-months. It saved my playing.

It took about 3-months of using the strap --about as long as it took to get used to it to get my forearm to quit aching and to allow me to stop my practice sessions for some reason other than arm pain.

The clarinet neck strap tends to pull the horn toward your body, so the load on your thumb changes from "UP" toward your upper teeth to "AWAY" from your body. It is a lighter load on your thumb.

I worry that the kiddy tootlers are damaging their right forearms, but are resilient enough to be unaware of it.
