Thanks to everyone for all the responses! I just googled "palm sax risers" and found a write up on ready made silicone putty that the writer had used to make custom sax palm risers and had also tested on other instruments without damage to keywork, wood or finishes.

http://www.shwoodwind.co.uk/HandyHints/key_risers.htm.

The silicone putty is sugru.

http://sugru.com/us

I will order some, give it try and post my results some time after the holidays. (I have no financial interest in this product.).

Fortunately I had my thumb rest moved up several years ago which alleviated my right thumb pain. It also improved my right hand position so I can forego the amputation of the fifth distal digit. And the finger splints also sound promising.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays to all on the Bulletin Board.
