Hello all! I am writing regarding a certain clarinet accessory that I'm hoping someone other than I have seen.
When I was in college, my clarinet professor had a wrist support that he used instead of his thumb rest. It was basically an arm-type mechanism that was attached to the bottom ring of the upper joint, arched up slightly, and reached over to his wrist. This made it so that the weight of the clarinet was not on his right thumb.
From what I can recall, I'm certain that he purchased it online, and I'm also certain that it wasn't custom made. I simply can't remember the name of the company who made it.
At any rate, if anyone can help me locate this "wrist rest" of sorts, I will be extremely thankful.
Sincerely,
Alegra
P.S.
If it helps, he played on two Selmer Recital clarinets (Bb and A), and the "wrist rest" was easily removed and transported between clarinets.
But now, at length, I have the happiness to know it is a rising and not a setting Sun. - Benjamin Franklin
