Re: Doubling on wind and strings

Now I see that there's a "doubling" forum on this site; perhaps I should've posted there. But since my topic is here, I'll just plow ahead. First, I'm not thinking professional level, just community orchestra level. I can only play violin so long each day before certain muscles and joints begin to complain. But clarinet uses, to a large extent different body parts, which is the reason for maybe adding clarinet back into my schedule. (If I could play violin 4 hours/day without pain, I probably would.) But I think two hours of violin and one hour of clarinet is possible. I worry about my right thumb, which had a callous when I played clarinet. For violin the right thumb needs to be soft and flexible. There is one area of possible conflict. I wonder if there are others.
